All these are with a 4m cirrus pro, we have just bought a 6.4 flexifoil blade so some more videos will be made soon when we have the right wind.

If anyone can let me know how to embed these videos instead of links that would be cool.

(rate - comment ;) )

nice jumps, that power kite smile was there!

get your redirects sorted or you will get dumped hard one of these days... best to fly across the zenith rather than right to zenith then braking hard back, but yes every kite jumps differently!

There's a bit of text in a box labeled "embed" to the right of the video in your youtube account window. copy and paste that, and it's done!

to be honest, though, I prefer to watch the videos in the main youtube window rather than embedded, what I like best is seeing both the embed and the link below.

keep on jumping...

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-I1fUg0MZXI&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-I1fUg0MZXI&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

ok, did that work?

that's odd, worked for me fine earlier...

and now it works fine in preview...

whatever, I'm no computer whiz, can't help you further...

but can use the formatting buttons in the edit frame to add a video...might be just as a link but lemme see...

nope that doesn't work either....

enough.

and yes nice jumps keep on jumping!!!

It says HTML is off on the left when i post. might that be something to do with it? Anyone else help? Thanks

B-Roc - 6-9-2009 at 09:31 AM

Not bad jumps, especially for a 4m!

Keep it up.

LOL never mind....:puzzled::P:o

Yay its nice to see another Cirrus

Im in bournemouth mate, did you hit the festival recently?

Nice bouncing around there, what do you think of the cirrus?

Youtube embedding is easy once explained.

Do this [youtube]then paste the code after the equals sign in your youtube link here between them [/youtube]

you put the code at the end in between the youtube things lol, that the easiest way to explain.

Safe Nafe - 6-9-2009 at 12:22 PM

Hi Jack, Cheers the embedding worked a treat. Dont know how u worked that one out lol.

I went to Pompey kite festival last year but i was working this time around.

The cirrus 4m pro was our first real kite and its fantastic... its really fast but needs quite a lot of wind to be able to do big jumps. We were out with winds far too high the other day, had to pack up after 10 minutes because we simply couldnt plant a foot on the ground to stop being taken across the feild toward the road lol.

Just bought a 6.6m flexifoil blade which gives massive lift in pretty light winds.... ill do some videos with that one soon. was thinking about the 6m cirrus but with all the praise the blade gets for jumping, decided to give it a try.

Jack1988 - 6-9-2009 at 07:43 PM

haha no worries, i had a few problems with the embedding, to a noob its the most complicated youtube embedding ever lol.

Yeah it was last weekend i think, its so funny at these things, its scary how many people turn up but dont actually know what they are doing :o

Yeah i think cirrus make really good kites tbh, they are fairly new but their kites seem to have some pedigree, that 4 must have been ruthless, my 6 doesnt turn as quickly as the 4 so its more forgiving in high constant winds.

FF Blade?? you must be loaded lol, i will eventually get one but i dont want to spoil myself, word is to fly as many kites as you can before you get a blade because they are super kites.

Ive got an angry pansh 4.5 on the way hehe for those stupid winds we get in the winter lol, although maybe the 6 will be better lol, im not sure yet.

Keep flying nafe, and hit us with some blade vids.

Safe Nafe - 7-9-2009 at 01:34 AM

Haha definately not loaded. I never fly alone so me and my buddy wend half on one off ebay for £100. Its not the latest one but its in great nik. Haven't had too many chances to really test it yet tho... Too windy lol.. Its amazing how slow it goes through the air, but that makes for lovely floaty jumps. Vids on the way!

Jack1988 - 8-9-2009 at 02:33 PM

Yeah i go halves with my brother, its actually quite cheap that way lol.

I will have to get me on EBAY! thats a great price for a Blade that big.
