Note to self: pay more attention when it's windy and you decide to mess around with your helmet when flying....

...otherwise this could happen....silly OBE

don't worry though- no injuries, just laughs... more (and better) vids from last weekend coming soon!:smilegrin:

I made the mistake of trying to adjust shin gaurds when flying my Bullet, holding the handles in one and fiddling with the other ... couldn't figure out why the kite kept turning into the center of the wind until I noticed the KK pulling the brake line :embarrased:
Glad you weren't hurt! Thanks for sharing :)

That's being a real sport to be willing to crash test your new camera like that. I like the way it captured where the kite was at that magical moment.

LOL "magical moment" - yeah it captured the moment when I could feel that the kite was starting to turn and in that wind it seemed to happen very fast. I had that split second where I saw where the kite was in the sky and I thought..... I know what is gonna happen now-DOH!

That camera is the bomb though- no damage despite landing on my head :roll:

Glad that you're OK as well... is that the GoPro? I want to pickup one of those for the water.

I have a very similar video of an OBE when I just lost the kite watching out for my son, well that didn't work out as I had planned.

Great instructional video, you and I should produce more on what NOT to do videos :eureka:

:lol:

Yep it's the gopro wide. Great little camera- especially for the price.
More video from last weekend (no more OBE's :P)
