My Kite Flying Video Makes Women Scream

[Rusty Heap]

INSERT BIG GRINS HERE.


Thought I'd share some of this last summers fun with a GoPro2 video camera on a larger frame twin line stunt kite.

Film:

GoPro2, electrical taped to a cross spar on a New Tech / Dodd Gross Big Bang Kite, video'd in HD at 720p x 60 fps filming keeps it crisp, edited in Sony Vegas. One Danggg Perfect flying day on a beach............."somewhere" between Florence and Lincoln City Oregon.


Stay tuned for Chapter II, the roller coaster motion seasick tour gets worse/better!. Mo' spins = bigger grins.


I LOVE watching this on my bigscreen 55" LCD Hi-Def TV..........Vimeo and the Web doesn't do it justice. Yes women scream and leave the room. grins.


Enjoy: Feel Free to comment.




sweet.

go full screen and in hi-def:

That was great - the screaming bit made me laugh. But, there is some crazy looking dude in the video that you should really keep an eye on. . .

[Burnin' oil]

Cool cannon. No projectile?

[craigster59]

I got dizzy and barfed on my keyboard...

[Baz]

Love the soundtrack! Whip it good! Perfect Dave!

[Hydrocket]

Nice video!! You looked like Drew Carey when you were grinning with your thumbs up!!

[Jeff Higgins]

Be afraid... very afraid...

[UconnTim97]

[LWJ]

Cool! My kids loved it.

Meh, kites are for children. You should know better.

[Rusty Heap]

Larry, the passion for "non video game" fun starts young. Karma pays forward.

get 'em some kites from Santa, heck, I'll send you some for them from me.

PM me and I have 2 brand new in box kid friendly stunt kites to send to a fellow Pelican.

[azasadny]

Very cool!

[pavulon]

Oregon coast is really nice in the summer!!

[John Rogers]

I built kites for about 10 years or so. I take some of them out now and them just to relax.

[stealthn]

Nice!

I trust of course that you paid Devo the royalties for the song

I also have two traction kites, and 10 or so two line deltas.

I got hooked in high school when my friends and I bought Hawaiian Team Kites. Big and loud.

Nice Hawaiian! I have an original 4-color one. The original ones are getting rare--hang on to yours as it's worth some money. It's a hoot to fly but needs a lot of room. The beach (Corolla, NC) is getting more and more crowded every summer.

I fly a Rev Blast and a original Rev II as well. The Blast is fun but the II is just twitchy. I've been trying to make up my mind about a SuperSonic or something custom from Elliot Shook (maker of the mesh kite in my pic) to match my Harley paint .

On a whim I bought an HQ Beamer V 4.0 and nearly died my first time out. We were having some pretty strong winds that week. Ugh.

I still have it, but I want to give it one more try. In sane winds. And with lines that are (now) the right lengths.

I'm 6'2", 220lbs. That day was the only day I ever wished I was both shorter and fatter.

[Rusty Heap]

I just bought a 3.3 meter foil, so I'm looking to step up..........

he heh.


wife got a 1.7m


Let me know after your next superman drugged across the field how much you want for the kite.


I mean it's only a kite, right? grins.
