8 y/o on a core 90 with a hydra

my son riding a MBS core 90 with the hydra 300 depower. I know it is a repost but I wanted to try the instructions. Plus it was at the end of a long, old post and I wasn't sure if anyone even looked at it. Sorry if I am being cheezy but I am a proud dad. :saint:

You and Marc are related ?!?!? :o

It is rainy here and trying to get back to work after a long weekend (following a short week)..... all videos are welcome no matter what the reason for posting them.

Sometimes I kinda wish PKF had a YouTube Channel.

ATB,
Sam

I wish I had my gopro hero and not my cell phone camera. I would have had a lot better footage to work with.

I think a Sanyo Xacti would have been better for that situation - just ask the wife :O had to sit through an hour of her videos last night - I think she likes her new toy :lol:

I could take some lessons from your kid. It was cool the way he squatted down when the kite powered up and just took off.

Get some more video of that dude. He's going places.

+1 for the GoPro footage! Would be great to put a cam-mount on his helmet, too, to get his pov.:yes:

im not surprised--kids are like sponges--they pick things up so quickly--one day i had 2 kids 8 and 10, flying my blade 10.5 (yes the 10.5) in 5mph winds or so and they both kept it up for about a good 5 minutes, getting dragged around......on the other hand, adults are very hard to train as they have stupid preconceptions and they dont listen........we can learn alot from our kids thats for sure........

We have spent a lot of time on a snow board and mountain board practicing that actually. I took a rope, tied it to a stick on both ends and pulled him around with it. I figured it would help and I think it did. Both of my kids practiced this quite a bit and they really love it. I gives me quite a workout too. We don't really go very fast when practicing but they do seem to benefit from it. When they feel like they are getting pulled off the board they change their center of gravity and it really seems to work.:spin:

by the way he does have a go pro mount oh his helmet.
