Video "A Kitemare Before Christmas"
Warning the following video may be funny to some and offensive to others?
"A Kitemare Before Christmass"
Please if your easily offended by rock music, skulls, or rude kite comments proceed no further. This is funny or at least it is to me and not intended
to be at all serious. Enjoy if you dare.
Mostly shot on 07/17/2011 at wonderful AZT
Thanks to Michael and Sunnie who let me borrow an SD card since I forgot mine. Truly saved the day I just wish I had started filming later in the day
and gotten the high wind session on film. Yet another session that got away from the camera.

If you'd grabbed the LH rear leader at 0:27 and pulled it in, you'd have saved all that nasty flapping around 
God what an awesome spot ... I'm so jealous! Want a S3 12 too :D
Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...

Between the "LEI's are for Pu$$ies" and you wearing the top hat rocking the skeletor jacket I had tears rolling in laughter.
That one rocked Brad, keep up the good vids man.

Loved it! Thanks for putting it together! Liked how you used edits to make the song more of a part of the whole, instead of just noise on top of some
kite-flick.
Tide? What's a tide? Man, it's 1000 miles to any ocean.

I am so glad everyone enjoyed it! I had a lot of fun making this vid. In all it probably took about 4 hours to edit.
@Erratic Thanks for your comment I did spend a lot of time working on cutting clips to music in both "a Kitemare before Christmas" and "busted".
Basically in my if it looks synced it was done on purpose. I try to make Kite/music videos.
@Todd I hope it was as funny as when I saw you do this...
My tribute to you my friend!

Nah, I'm kidding. I'm sitting here wearing my vintage Immolation "Dawn of

where the hell can I get a jacket like that? I live in a gated community populated by sniveling old farts and would love to walk the dog wearing that

I love that video real character. The star wars text credits was awesome, had to pause it read the whole thing. None the less funny as hell, they
should make a wetsuit hood to look like a skull.

What is it exactly that you are looking for to determine which leader to yank on???? I have that exact same scenario quite a bit and never seem to be
able to correct it until it hits the ground/water. More ofter than not it ends in an invert or bowtie. Really intimidating for me to enter the water
with it. (my 12m sp2 that is)

12m Flysurfer Speed2

The one that is 'up'
In the vid, the left one ... giving it a good pull SEEMS to bring that tip back into the powerzone (or out of the stalled air flow around the kite)
and power it up again. Usually, the kite will pick up and try to turn up to the zenith, so be quick to pull the leader and quick to correct the
steering when it loads up again.
I don't generally drop the SA at all any more ... even when I bugger things up. Like a manual transmission car, you've got to do a little more work to
keep it zinging 
Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...
