Well ive been dying to get some new footage latley so i decided to get a quick road seshy on film. The wind was choppy, hard to film perfect and fly at the same time...

the ditch in front is a great gap for boosting over, my next video im going to strap the cam on my board and boost the ditch, super fun.

the vid still might be being processed...***

hope every one likes it
im going to try to get that bladder leak tech tested out tonight, im pretty tired today so it might end up being this weekend.:thumbup:

Sweet vid,
what kite are you using and how did you hold your cam when riding?

Houston AirHead - 15-1-2010 at 12:39 PM

Thanks man! Its an 08' LF Havoc 12 meter. Its a small sony handycam with a fisheye lens, basically with a neck strap ... the kite view shots i held the cam with my left hand and flew with my right.

That's a cool vid. Is that a public road? Does the wind blow perpendicular to it often? Looks like fun, but man be careful of those powerlines.

HAHA yeah , summer time the wind is almost always going the right direction to fly.
And i could probably fly that spot blindfolded by now.
I actually live off of the street so its great to walk out, rig up and jet.
roads are so much to fly on when capable to, especially boosting off of them,
because of the grip you can really get some insane "pop" of off the cement.
I need to invest in some roadie tires from mbs.
the t3s wear down pretty quick on pavement

Very nice - I'll be glad to see more vids of this run in the future - would be great with another camera shooting at a distance to you - edited together to give both a POV and location reference shot. Well done for a solo effort.
