That's the pretty well known Erik Eck kitemare incident. Most of us around here have seen it numerous of times. Pretty scary situation!! I think that
if a person would find themselves in that situation the best one could do is to try and stay calm and focused. Having faith the the kite will set you
back down if controlled correctly while keeping the kite above you at all times.

Don't know why one should be banned for posting a link to a youtube video relating to a kitemare. At the time Eck wasn't being irresponsible, it just
shows what can happen in the blink of an eye no matter how careful you are being.xxxBUGGYPILOTXXX - 30-10-2010 at 02:13 PM
Can't believe people are still arguing over this bit of ancient history!
If memory serves ( & seldom does ) Eric WAS in fact being responsible, it's called wind! It's unpredictable & stuff happens! All we can hope
for is a good ride thank mother nature when we do get one & keep our @$$ prepared!
That means, mentally & physically,
( YES that's a blatant knock to those that think impaired kiting is cool, be it alcohol or other substances! & if you don't don't like it :moon:!
)
checking conditions & gear, wearing safety equipment, helmets pfd's etcetera-
Did I just paint a target on my back? I really couldn't give a
----!
Perhaps if enough debate & hot air is raised over this it will generate some use able wind? --- Hmm that said it's a wonder more Politicians
don't buggy:P
They can make there own WIND!

Didgeridoo, Didjeridoo, Yidaki, however you say it-
This is vid of a modern didjeridoo called didjeribone. I've got one in my collection now but don't have the face bass amp yet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFyc4xOIi_k
Most of mine are made by split & bore technique. learning the circular breathing takes a bit but it's fun once get hang of itxxxBUGGYPILOTXXX - 31-10-2010 at 12:57 AM

That's just a preposterous & overblown myth! There is nothing harmful or damaging about playing the didgeridoo it in no way affects
concentration or-----------------squirrel!
? now what was I saying?
:duh:lead me not into temptation or altered states:bouncy: I can find them all by myself thanks!:wee:
Now wait a min- States-Alter? Isn't there supposed to be this whole separation of Church & State thing:Pbobalooie57 - 31-10-2010 at 04:23 AM
Just sayin', like drumming and chanting, diji sessions have been known to induce a zen like state, oh wait, AOXOMOXOA is a zen like state brought on
by kiting! No more kiting for any of us!!!!!!! :evil:Kamikuza - 31-10-2010 at 11:40 PM
