Isaac Trejo Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Just noticed that from 1:49 to 2:22 you are flying one handed. That's just sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hector Herrera Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 The "No Fear Man" in action, very nice, I like everything especially the part at the ocean waves, that's not easy to do. Just everything is done with Mastery. Thanks you John for this gifts you give us all. Héctor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdenny Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Those running tip dips (my words) were inspirational to say the least. I will keep trying. Practice practice practice… When the wave got the kite I came unglued. How did one of my videos get mixed up in there? You just did it to show the kite can live thru it I’m sure. I do hope the larger resolution version is downloadable. I love to put them on my laptop and have it running off to the side at work. The one handed work is outrageous as well. I have a set of handles in front of me now I can’t get them to move individually while in one hand. I think I will start another thread and ask for help on that. That way all my pictures won’t have to be a kite sitting on the ground. Totally outrageous video John. Every move is so smooth and precise. You’re the best.

KiteLife Posted October 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Grab me on a field anytime, always happy to share the tips and tricks I've accumulated over the years. Information and context really helps the process, while learning without experienced fliers nearby is obviously the hardest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chefmichaelk Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 at the begining of the video it looks like your useing only about 50 foot of line is this true????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiteLife Posted October 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Through the dogstake, yes? If so, I think it was about 60-70 feet... This is cut in half of course, when it goes through the stake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortflyer Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 But also TOTALLY full of it!! 'Easier than it looks'??? You big fibber - you're forgetting we all KNOW how damn hard that is!! You must become one with the Rev grasshopper then it will do your bidding, relaxing while flying will help more then anything, don't try to do it goof off and it will happen. After that anything is possible. Personally what aggrivates me is he gets cool color combo's I was drooling over the kite so much i had to watch it again to see what he did with it lol. Great Job John, I'm getting close damn fall had to show up already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too funny... The way I look at Rev flying is not so far off, along the lines of silence in the mind... A pure state of flying. As for my color choices... Well, nya nya. <grin> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrunya Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Jealousy was thriving through me...... until a wave crashed on the kite....... but then it came back!!!!!! Very nice video John. I'm sure I'll be able to do that stuff eventually (In 20 years) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
