Wow.... I watched the whole thing and that was AMAZING! I love the camera affect(fisheye) and it was just BEAUTIFUL! So is the tow just like you lean
back against the taught line and it eventually pulls you straight above where the line is attached?
That was really cool Eli, I can see why you're a paraglider AND a kiter :D

That kind of stuff bums me out... It is way cool, but i just cant really do it.. Theres no place to jump off of around here, so the tow would be
sweet... but ive got no one around to give me lessons... so now i gotta add travel to the tab, in addition to the glider, and the training,
Nebraska... meh... it really is just all about corn out here...

Yea not to bad. I like looking for my house in those vids. I can usually see where it is but cant spot it specifically. Anyway, I hate to be a cheap
ass, esp when inquiring about a not cheap sport, but are the deals I see on their website about the best deal I will get out of them for the 2 day
intro, even for a semi-local kiter?:puzzled: If so I totally understand, and I wil still be down to try it out before the summer is done.
