Got it today. Not bad. It's in Norwegian and English but the english is full of pauses making me think they just over dubbed it and the norwegian
phrases are longer than the same english. A dumb observation - not a negative at all.
The DVD spends a great deal of time on equipment, kite, safeties, gear, packing, unpacking etc...too much in my opinion for the money I paid for it
but that's only because of all I've learned from this forum. If I were completely starting out this would have been a GREAT boost in my education. One
thing I did like is how they focused on both foils and LEIs equally while still being focused on snowkiting. They also come right out and say that
it's easier on skis so the demos are shown on a board.
So, once the preamble is through and they get into the riding it's clear, concise and to the point. They have good double angle shots of the kite and
the kite and rider plus overlay the Ozone 3d wind window diagram at many points - nice touch to visualize things. They cover starting, controlling
speed, edging, upwind, downwind and turns. Then they talk a bit about free riding and expedition kiting and then get into your first jumps making it
seem oh so easy. And I think it might be really, other than the getting over fear part and not over controlling the kite thing. (I'll be sure to give
it a go once I get settled in and cruising well on the ATB this summer - with a full complement of pads of course ; )
So. Buy it or not?
Buy it. You may not need it but if you're like me you'll be sucking a bunch of other people into the sport and this is a great overview of both the
gear and the beginner steps. Well produced, great detail, solid info. I don't feel it was a waste of money even though I didn't learn anything I
hadn't learned here until about 3/4 through. I'll definitely buy Volume 2.
My 2 cents.
Stop me if it's illegal but I'm willing to pass the volume in PKF "Pass the...." fashion. Do let me know if it's likely not legal though - we don't
need to get into trouble here and most certainly can support the kiting community by just buying it outright.

Macboy,
I would like to watch it if it makes its way into the States 
DenisLaMenace - 20-3-2008 at 06:25 AM
Hi Macboy
it's totally legal to pass it on.
making copies is illegal.
I would like for sure to be on the list too

bloah - 24-3-2008 at 02:48 PM
thanks for review,
if you pass it on, add me to review.
Cheers.
macboy - 2-4-2008 at 09:24 PM
There's only a few of you here so let's do it. PM me or post your general location and we'll go as clockwise as we can. Obviously I won't need it
until the snow flies here again so we'll keep it going until everyone's seen it OR I'm advised that "we shouldn't be doing this". If you see it please
consider buying it or at the very least the subsequent volumes to support them - they've done good work here.
We'll all send it regular post but insured/tracked? The Canada to the US and US to Canada guys will have to pay a bit more for the shipping but it
shouldn't be more than a couple bucks more. I'll send it your way first Buzz? Chances are you might still have snow around somewhere? Maybe not.
SecondWind - 3-4-2008 at 06:31 AM
Sounds great - I'll send you my info
strictlycarved - 3-4-2008 at 09:32 AM
i still have snow, we just got like a foot last sunday. totally weird for the season.
macboy - 10-4-2008 at 08:41 PM
DaVinch, no replies yet from the others so I'll pop it in the mail to you tomorrow - let me know when you get it. I'll put a sticky inside the case
with my return address. If it gets passed on to someone else just leave that in there and it'll make it's way back by snowfall for me ; )
SecondWind - 11-4-2008 at 04:23 AM
Sounds good!
SecondWind - 22-4-2008 at 07:40 PM
Got the DVD today Macboy! I'm getting the Popcorn ready now - thanks
macboy - 22-4-2008 at 09:05 PM
Take your time with it - still no word on the next destination. Funny that you get it the same day I have to walk a dog through a foot and a half of
snow that wasn't here four days ago ; )
Enjoy - it starts slow but gets useful at the end.
SecondWind - 25-4-2008 at 06:42 PM
It's really good so far
I didn't get a chance to finish it yet, but so far I think it is a fantastic DVD for someone new to the sport.
SecondWind - 5-5-2008 at 06:00 AM
OK - I'm finished up with the DVD MacBoy. Thanks for loaning it out!
I showed it to a few new flyers this past weekend and it really helped them understand the basics.
Just let me know where to send it next
macboy - 5-5-2008 at 08:29 AM
Give it a day or so and we'll see if anyone wants in on the list, otherwise I guess it'll come back home.

SecondWind - 12-5-2008 at 08:04 PM
Any update Macboy? Or should I send it back to you now?
Thanks!
macboy - 12-5-2008 at 08:23 PM
I guess you might as well. I'll U2U the return address. If anyone's interested drop me a line and I'll send it out again.
skiutah - 12-7-2008 at 06:56 PM
Hi macboy - just found this board after just buying a kite today at a garage sale. I've never tried any kite sports, but it sounded fun. I know I'm
new, but if I sent you postage and a deposit, would you be willing to loan your video?
macboy - 24-7-2008 at 10:08 PM
skiutah - you still lurking around? Sorry, I just saw this post today.
2stix - 13-8-2008 at 09:26 PM
Hey Macboy
I'm in Calgary, can I watch your video?
Will send you a U2U.
macboy - 14-8-2008 at 09:15 AM
She's gone down south and when it comes back up it's all yours.
2stix - 14-8-2008 at 08:54 PM
Cool.
Post it up when you get it back please.
taiguy - 17-8-2008 at 11:54 PM
Just bought a Montana 3! Even had a chance to play with it a bit at the beach. Do you mind adding me to the queue for the DVD? I'd appreciate it
taiguy - 17-8-2008 at 11:54 PM
whoops... double posted
stetson05 - 18-8-2008 at 12:03 AM
I would be interested in seeing it if possible.
f0rgiv3n - 26-8-2008 at 09:09 AM
Arrived yesterday. Watched about half of it last night, this is a cool video! It's amazing what they "recommend" though, all of the equipment they
recommend adds up to over $5k!! LOL! It's really good stuff though, they explain the different kites, and how they work. Very good information. I'll
let you know as soon as I'm done watching it and I'll ship it to wherever is next.
2stix - 8-9-2008 at 05:05 PM
Just bumping to see if it is ready to pass on.
I would really like to check it out.
Thanks
drunkinmonk - 9-9-2008 at 07:49 AM
I would like to check it out too. Thanks!
f0rgiv3n - 9-9-2008 at 09:05 AM
I'm done with it and sending it to trnsprt this week! Great video, lots of information.
macboy - 9-9-2008 at 09:14 AM
2stix and drunkinmonk - U2U me your addresses and I'll get them into the list. It was due to come back up to Canada after trnsprt but can stay down
for one more viewer before it comes north.
f0rgiv3n - 10-9-2008 at 11:00 AM
Shipped today to trnsprt!
macboy - 12-2-2009 at 07:16 PM
Hey guys - kinda lost track of this bad boy (yikes!). I thought Bake was the last to have it but he hasn't been around since November. Any of you
recall where it's last known address was?
Thanks for the help.
macboy - 12-2-2009 at 10:06 PM
We got it! I'm gonna go through the list and get it moving again. Thanks for getting in touch and helping me track it down.
ragden - 13-2-2009 at 02:36 PM
I'd be interested in checking this out as well. I have some friends who are getting into the sport, and I am curious if I might have missed something
in my fast learning. Sending my address. Thanks! 
stetson05 - 13-2-2009 at 09:12 PM
I would like to see it. I posted in august but missed that pass. Can I get in on this pass?
U2U sent
macboy - 19-3-2009 at 08:22 AM
The Pass is back on track. Ragden, it's on it's way to you, then we'll follow this order:
Stetson05
Arkay*
KiteNH*
PrairieWind*
* Shoot me a U2U with your address or send it to the person just above you on the list.
ragden - 19-3-2009 at 08:52 AM
Cool, I'll look for it in the mail. :D
stetson05 - 19-3-2009 at 07:58 PM
sweet, thanks so much!!!
stetson05 - 2-7-2009 at 09:10 AM
Just wondering if this is still making the rounds? If it is who needs my address?
macboy - 29-7-2009 at 09:11 AM
Hey all, just thought I'd update this and let you all know that I think we've lost the DVD. Last I have record 2stix had it BUT we both kept
forgetting about it and I had yet to get the next address sent out. The future of the Pass the DVD sits in an unread U2U.
No badness on 2Stix's part, just a bad bit of coordination. Heck, we're not even certain he has the DVD.....
power - 16-9-2009 at 08:17 PM
I would love to watch this video. When could I be on the list for getting it?
power - 16-9-2009 at 08:44 PM
I would love to get this video. Can I get on the list?
ragden - 17-9-2009 at 05:03 AM
Yeah, it never made it to me. 
Would be curious to see it, but someone else could probably benefit more from this than me at this point...
PrairieWind - 17-9-2009 at 10:14 PM
looks like it's gone........ take me off the list, if there still needs to be a list..............
power - 18-9-2009 at 12:54 PM
Is there even a list still?
macboy - 18-9-2009 at 12:59 PM
We don't know. Technically no but I'm hoping it gets resurrected. Not so much for the DVD but for the PKF member we've not seen in a long time. We're
all good people so when one of us gets quiet they're missed.
Jolt - 13-10-2009 at 11:22 PM
Awww, i was looking forward to signing up for this ...
Jolt - 15-10-2009 at 09:51 AM
If it helps anyone, i was able to download an mp4 version of this movie made for the ipod, i can possibly convert it to a vcd and send it to someone
to start it off again, im not sure how good the quality would be though.
