Good stuff Gstar, thanks! Nice clip.

It's a sad moment watching your kite get destroyed, I had a similar but no so dramatic experience a few years back, due to extreme poverty I sewed my aero back together and 30hrs+ of effort later it flew just fine and I got another season out of it. . so I know it can be done if you're desperate!

/ps if you have firefox the ook extension gives you a button to instantly save clips from youtube, then you can use an flv player to watch/convert/email/etc at your leisure..

//pps wish I had started youtube, the 2 geeks who started it 18 months ago just sold it to google for AUD $2.25 BILLION!

galah,

you have hit the nail on the head.

I didn't respect the beast first time out and ripped my kite in half, $300 dollars is what my respect cost. For the newbies reading this, practice long and hard on the smaller stuff before attacking the big stuff.
