Ok, so I am supposed to get on the mailing list for the sucky beginner video. Actually will probably learn something from it. I have never flown a power kite ( YET) Dlish suggested I take a look at it. Who has it now? Should I u2u someone my address?

send it to me, since the video in on its way here and I can send it to you after I extract all the knowledge it beholds. :P

Thanks BeamerBob for sending it on to soccer after you have unlocked all its mystical info.
Its been awhile since I have seen the video, but from what I remember they show about setting up and alittle bit about flying and the wind window. that info would be good for someone who has never flown before. But what they teach you about buggy'n you could learn more from watching a youtube clip.

You're right on Dlsih. I think it would be good if you've never touched a power kite or read much at all about it. Like I mentioned earlier, HQ really ought to include a littel cd of the that part of the cd in each kite they send out.

You guys... don't you know... :puzzled:

You have to play it backwards and it has hidden messages...:evil:

Freddie is the devil... :evil: Freddie is the devil... :evil:

Sit down, shut up and hold on...:o

You know the normal subliminal messages...:D

Lets make our own DVD... I know nothing about buggying (yet) but sounds like I could give more useful info than this DVD...

Ok, you guys have really made fun of this video, but for its intended purpose, it was at about 80-90%. If I knew nothing about buggies, and didn't have you guys to ask, it would educate on many of the basics. I didn't learn anything but it was reassuring that I always knew what was going to happen. An intermediate video would probably answer alot of the questions that come up after the first time you start rolling. They could've skipped the larkshead and line unwinding stuff and maybe do a section like when the girl was walking around the cones but with the buggy, showing a full figure 8. That would clearly express the lines you take. They also could show more of the kite motion and the effect on the buggy to give a true cause and effect demonstration. Great for someone that just heard about buggies but not much use in it for someone that can already link turns, controlling the kite and buggy without crashing either one. Back in the mail tomorrow.

Shooooooooo! Screwy must have been right! You saw more than I did!! Did you play it backwards.....did ya.....hunh....did ya.....hunh?!?!?? :o

to see it's merits, you have to remember back when you knew nothing about how to make a kite do something. I'm not saying ANYTHING about what I saw when I played it backwards. They're watching you know :ticking:

Got the video yesterday. Thanks Bob! I watched it. I am sure it was lame for someone who has been out more than 5 times. But I think I may have picked up a few things from it.

I will watch it again and take notes then I can send it on.

Dlish, you ready for it back?

I sell these, but make it very clear in my product description that it is very basic. It is good for someone learning in a vacuum, as Bobby indicates.

Anyone else want a look ??
If not go ahead and send it back. I will u2u with my address.

Ok, I will send it on to whoever wants it next.

Thanks again, Dlish for all your help.
