Thanks for the headsup XdisasterXdrewX....and the seed too! Dunno why I didn't think of that earlier.

Anyone know if Volume 2 is out already?

Drew should be getting the DVD soon. Looks like I didn't get it out early enough to beat the snow. Hopefully everyone will get to watch it before the season is over. Enjoy, and remember, if you want a copy you can always buy one from one of the store that are around. If we don't support the stores they won't stay around. :dunno:

If you need to get it from Alberta to Ontario then to NY count me in. Love to see it.

I received the DVD on sat. THANKS!! Watched about 30-40 mins. Very well done and informative. Will try and get it out before the weekend. Who is next....?

Looks like it would be me, Marc. Then on to labrat. I'll send you my info v U2U. Bob

You are correct about the snow thing still hoping though. ALso i have some three day weekends next year and am planning to head north for snow it takes about 2 hours to get to kansas and they have an airfield i hear. I am planning on trying it out if it has snow. please have snow kansas....

I have, and have watched the video, I'm ready to send it along to labrat, who is next on the list. U2U me your info, and I will put it monday's mail.

stetson05 - I missed this thread until just today. I know you said it would be open to only "established" members of the forum, so I'm not sure if I qualify... but if possible I would love to be added to the end of the list to see the DVD.

Thanks!

Mike

No problem, You can be added. Same with 4mylifetime. I realize this would be more beneficial to newer kiters mainly. I can't say I won't limit it but so far I haven't.

just a housekeeping issue. One of my main goals was to get it to as many people as possible while they might get the most out of it. That kind of needs to happen while snow is on the ground. I don't mind letting it go back to Canada for 4mylifetime. My question really is probably for RTZ, looking up and Donald gould. Maybe from RTZ to 4my lifetime, then looking up and Donald Gould? U2U me opinions might be the best way to respond. I will weigh the responses and decide.

I am really glad it is getting out there and hopefully people will benefit from it.

Stetson I can vouch for MikeDobbs...

So I got the O.K. from stetson05 to send this on to Mike Dobbs. If you will U2U me your address(copy to stetson05, also), I will put it in the mail Monday morning. Thanks again, Gabe for passing this video. Though I found it a bit slow at points, I think it may help me get up and going better thjis year than ever before.(I hope!)

Thanks Gabe for sharing this, and thanks Cheezy for the voucher : )

If it gets through everyone, i wouldnt mind having a peak at it! Even if its off-season.

Thanks for including the canucks. Will send it anywhere you want. Just starting to get some flakes.
This video might stop the shakes until the lakes freeze.
Let me know the path.

Passed to ragden, Thank you for the opportunity.

I just saw labrat's post and realized I forgot to post on here when I passed the video on to him. Thanks for the chance to watch the vid Stetson05- I am currently in Canada trying my best to put it to good use on the fozen lakes...

Now if I could only get some decent wind :dunno:

Got the disc last night. Haven't watched it yet. Will watch it tonight.
Thanks!

I have to say I am pretty impressed with how this is going. It speaks well of the good people here. I need to update the list but otherwise this is going very well.
Thanks.

Will be dropping this in the mail tonight once I get home from work.

Couple comments on it...
In the opening sections, talking about kite selection there is a rather balatant bias towards Ozone open cell foils. I guess that is to be expected since the video was sponsored by Ozone, but they did comment that "closed cell foils dont work anywhere..." Or something like that. Kind of ticked me off.

The other thing that surprised me was when they were talking about getting tangles out of the lines, they recommend disconnecting the lines at the kite. Personally, I would avoid doing that. I always disconnect lines at the bar as there is a lot less going on there. Disconnecting at the bridles, well... if you accidently turn something over in the bridle, it could be awhile before you get it straight... And if the wind is blowing... there is a good chance something could go wrong...

Also when they talked about safety on foils, they only discuss how safety works on Ozone kites. No mention of how it works on any other kite brand. Granted, some of the other open cell foil makes use the same safety, but not everyone.

All-in-all, not a bad video. Aside from the bias towards Ozone, and the couple small things above, it had some good information on riding and some very nice shots of people out riding (though some got repeated numerous times). If you are planning on picking up an ozone open cell foil to kitesurf, then this is a great video...

If you are flying something else... maybe not so much... Just disaregard all the malarky in the beginning and skip to the riding sections...

I can't disagree with your review. For a lot of more experienced flyers it is a little over simplified. They don't show info on other brands or types of kites. There is a lot more out there than what is covered.

I think it is good for a beginner to kites or snowkiting it is a decent video. For a beginner who is excited to learn and there is no wind, it is great.

So where is the video now. Still no snow but just curious.

I meant to send it out last night, but got caught up in other things after I got home... Darn "honey-do" list got me. I'll get it into the mail tonight...

Video is on its way to chad today, thanks for sharing stetson
