Same here as well. The service is not available in your area. Happens a lot if you want to watch something that's been on tv in the USA but not yet here in Europe.



Me: Dutch Flyboarder ... but not the kind you\'re thinking of.
Power: PL Vibe 1.8 (1.9 mod) - PL Vibe 1.9 - PL Vibe 2.3 - PL Hornet 2.0 - PL Twister 4.1 - PL Twister 5.6
Wind Range: Riding: 11 - 38 knots. Jumping: 12 - 21 knots.
Ride: Trampa (14ply 35deg channels)
Wants: PL Reactor II 6.9 - PL Impulse TR 3.0
Former gear: Libre Dragonboard Sirius - PL Guerilla 13 - Flysurfer Speed I 10 - Ozone Manta II 10
Homemade: PL Vibe 1.8 - Star 6.0 (Depower) - 3 Nasawings - Pixie 1.5 (fun foil) - Flowform 3.0 (slk) - Frog (laundry)
Dilemma: If you work, you have money for kites but no time to fly them. If you don\'t work, you have plenty of time to fly kites, but no money to buy them. Either way, we\'re all screwed... :)

It's Channel 4, so they will do their best to restrict the viewing ONLY to UK.

Sorry for us stateside, sure looks like neat piece of film.



Tide? What's a tide? Man, it's 1000 miles to any ocean.

Snip available on YouTube:

Embedding disabled by request.

Full video is aggressively guarded by Channel 4.

I expect they make this available on DVD, so copyright infringement is discouraged with extreme prejudice.
