National TV! YAY?........
A friend of mine got in touch with me through facebook and said that one of my kiting vids made a national TV show called "Right this minute". They
had sent me messages to ask my permission to use my video in their show but YouTube sent it to the "possible spam folder" and I never got a
notification. Fortunately they thought it was funny and liked my sense of humour. I was scared they would make fun of me. The did take license with
the story though. This was not my "first large power kite" and my name is not "DJ"..... LOL! It was my first flight with the Vegas and it is kinda
violent kite when it comes to lift. It decided to lift and pull as I brought it into the power zone. LMAO!

Welcome to the club.
Be proud. I had my 3 seconds of fame...you made it way longer.
And there is no shame in a faceplant. Part of the game.
Mines here. In Dutch...but they made a special for kids about flyboarden. The host of the show took a lesson.

Wow DJ. That's amazing!  You are actually on TV!! I bet that was a
surprise? Have you put all this including the news item on YouTube. You will get a ton of hits. It might go viral then you make good money I hear.
edit. Oh it is on YouTube. What can I say, it's late here and I'm tired. :D
