mousieo Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Ben, does this have to be a *NEW* video? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goestoeleven Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Just to motivate y'all with some visuals... There is no spoon. Roughly 25 days left, better get crackin'! Way fun session today with Eli (windpoacher) and Spence (Watty). So what's the fine line between awesome cool flying and . . . um . . . discouraging the hell out of the rest of us mortals? :kid_cussing: Seriously though, I enjoyed that a lot. OK, so I've missed the WCRC since it's sold out . . . when is the WCURKFC (West Coast Urban Rev Kite Flying Clinic)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiteLife Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 The trick with doing an urban clinic is that I can only take 1-2 people out at time due to the nature of the places we fly, and how much personal attention is required to teach in them. I'm game if folks are interested, you'd learn LOTS, but it'd just be 2-3 of us at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[email protected] Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Although the contest deadline is a couple weeks away, I fear that I have run out of time to capture and edit video. Here's my entry, it's definitely long-winded, but got all 3 of my Revs in : - Just in case the above doesn't work: Thanks for watching! Play it over some decent speakers if possible, the second song in particular has an amazing bass-line. Ben, I'm sending the clips in, tomorrow, with no titles/transitions/music, just the cuts, I'll include a copy of the above fully produced entry just in case.

Of course, it reminds me of how very far I have to go . . . . . . . but that is just a good reason for me to go out and fly (not today, too much rain). Very nice kites as well.

goestoeleven Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Question on the rules: When you say submitted by December 10th - do you have to have the DVD in hand by the 10th, or just have the video posted to YouTube? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiteLife Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 I'll leave this one for Ben to answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiteLife Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 With Ben being in Hawaii, his wireless Internet is pretty shoddy so he called with the ruling... Uploads by the 10th, DVDs can follow in the mail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goestoeleven Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Thanks for letting me know. My son was worried that we were not going to make the deadline as we are still editing. Our flying probably doesn't make the cut (nor probably does our video quality or editing ), but it's fun anyway. Plus, if Ben really, really needs grainy video of Revolutions against the dull, gray, cloudy skies of late autumn in Chicago, then we have PLENTY of footage for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goestoeleven Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Well, I promised video of my 10 year old son flying, and we finally finished editing some footage of him flying this (cold, gray) November in Chicago. The flying is 99.9% him - there's only one tiny assist on his very first trip into the water. Thank you to Rich C. for helping with the filming at the beach, and for loaning David the mid vent. Also thank you to Mike & Rose for flying with us & teaching me that the best part of Rev flying is getting to fly with your kids! Plus spending time together editing the video, which takes waaaaay more time than the flying (at least for us). Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed flying with David. EDIT - for some unknown reason, the button to insert media does NOT work for me. It shows the bracket-media-bracket code before and after the url, but I just end up with the url like what you see above. If I can fix it later, I'll update the post. I don't know what I'm doing wrong . . . maybe somebody will enlighten me on why the "media" button isn't working for me.

Looking forward to sharing the sky with you again... and getting some tips! Thanks - he's doing great (proud dad here)!
