Mood: low winds here I come

My first Video
Here's a video that we took of me flying today. My second time out. Winds were low (weather network said 15km/h) we really had to work the kite
through the power zone a lot to keep it moving. If left it at the edge of the window too much it would just slowly float to the ground. Had a blast
though. Sorry for the crappy quality, we only had my digital camera and the video sucks on it. Next time will bring out the camcorder. Will also give
a link to pictures once I get all of them uploaded

Thanks guys! We have a few open fields like this within 5 blocks of me. The place I was at was good till I got closer to the school behind me. I
noticed the wind really dropped off within about 200 feet of it. This gave me an understanding how an obstacle can screw up the wind for a good
distance after it. I'm gonna try a few other spots to see which place offers the best wind to area to driving distance. Either way if the wind were a
bit stronger I think that it would have been a real blast. But I did learn a lot of how to work the kite to keep it in the air when the wind isn't
doing it for you. I managed to reverse launch a couple times but the rest of the time it just didn't seem to be enough wind to inflate without someone
holding the kite open in the air. Anyway here is a link to some of the pictures that we took. I'm the shorter guy wearing the yellow hat and black
label society hoodie, the other guy is my friend from work. Think that he is convinced to buy a trainer kite by the way.:bouncing:

I'm Just dying to know though how my 6m access xt will pull compared to this kite. I know that there is the difference size wise between fixed bridle
and depower. Will it have more pull or about the same with just more control? Guess I'll know next weekend when I get it. Just hope I can have another
five to ten hours on this kite first. :dunno:
