I got a link to this in my email today.
I am happy to see the press but ....... NO mention about safety gear? Not even a helmet! .... Starting out with a Blade? Granted the wind seemed
light and smooth.... He is being taught to hold his handles wrong ? IMHO! ...... The editing makes it appear he is taking his 1st runs with a Blade
instead of the little 2 line trainer he is actually flying .
They got a LOT right! I like how they point out it can look so easy but isn't . + how they stress kite control.
Pity they didn't include a top notch rider showing off some freestyle moves. Everybody want to see some big air!
