Love the wide-er angle shooting with kite's semi-framed in the shot.... I like to see what the kite's positions on launch/recovery/landings when jumping.

I think many videos get "stuck" on the rider, when it's about the whole picture...KITE + RIDER

ROCK ON!

Thanks Steve, but the real purpose of the wider shot was to keep the subject in the frame. I was thinking of pan and scanning to zoom in, but decided I liked the wider view.
See you in a few weeks.
Eratic, I think we supposed to cheer for all of 'em. They all put on a great show.

We had local father and sons (the Koenigs, riding Core kites) out there for the comp. The oldest son got 1st for the Biggest Air. The dad advanced to the semi finals in the Freestyle over his sons. He also got 3rd for Sickest Trick on the last day. It sounds like they had a blast out there.
