Here is a video that todd made for me. Its all of the left over crashes and bails from wwbb in the spring. I wanted him to post it so that i could see the things that I was doing wrong so that I could correct them for next time. first half of the vid was on the 15m charger 25mph wind...second half was 12m charger 30-40mph wind. Enjoy the crashes!

Nice :lol: looked well powered out there :o

i've never ridden in winds 30-40mph before...especially on a 12m! i'm used to riding a big kite in 20mph wind on grass where i get good traction and i can go fast and swing the kite far. that hard pack makes you slide out easy if you put the kite to low because of not gaining traction. definatly a learning experience for me. i was riding so slow but still able to jump...not something i'm used too

Cool vid- thanks for posting the "bails"

yeah man, watching crashes and bails i think helps everybody learn. Thats why i originally asked todd if he would make this for me. I've never really seen myself fly, and i thought it might be nice to be able to see what i was doing wrong. Glad you like it drew, i hope it can help your riding

You're welcome Drew! Normally I tend not to post up the bails because of the possible damage that could be done to the sport. All I need is for some old withered person to see one of my videos with bails AND realize it's happening at their beach. Then the closures begin, we don't want that do we? The last person that contacted me about using my videos (one with a bail in particular) was going to use it for just that, promoting unsafe sports. I passed.

never imagined... what jerks!

you see bails in cycling/skateboarding/everything else that involves movement... man, makes sense... just seems weird people would do that... well glad you pointed that out.

Still a good vid :ninja:
