link found below on vans post

2m flow in 20mph gusting to 30ish mph winds. RTZ used a 3m beamer at the beggining. I tried to use it but I kept over speeding the buggy and couldn't figure out how to make the kite go faster.

The VTT Black Widow is a very nice ride! I have one that I have been demoing myself! Very stable, great turning, and nice slides! I will be riding it again next weekend in WW. Can't wait!

Oh yeah, what a great spot for riding you have there!

Yea to bad that spot only comes by like every 10 years. Lake Hefner is Oklahoma City's drinking water lake. Currently the lake is 10-12 feet low and only has enough water to last OKC for about another year. It will take 20+ inches of rain to fill the lake back up. We got 3ish over the past few days. I know its an awesome spot for bugging, but we need the water or else the city will be in trouble. We do have a backup of water but they let water out of it a few months ago and the river is so dry that about 2 feet made it to the lake. It was suppose to be like 6-10 feet of water.

Van you did'nt just post a video of another happy kite flyer without a helmet. Helmetless flying is a private matter and not suitable for public viewing. Check the rules , its in there somewhere.

Sorry about that, didn't pay attention. I will remove those scene out of the public version. I didn't even think of it when we were filming since the wind was only around 5mph-10mph and he was flying a 2m flow.


edit: public version updated
