I would guess a stop/go rotation with a rev, on it's centre, nothing for you to get excited about with your mere two lines :-)


That's fighting talk where I come from... :phear:

I reckon it's do-able - stall, then lots of tiny little pops with one hand.... :fingers:

I've got enough pots on the boil thanks, Gary. I've tried 4-line flying but it just ain't me.

Great, all round to yours for that ballet writing session then :-)


We definately need help with the ballet. At the moment I think we're being a bit ambitious, but then you have to stretch yourselves a bit don't you?

I don't think you and Vee will learn much from watching the DVD though.

hmmm it seems that some people think this is a how to dvd well the way i see this dvd is that it is a follow on to making yourself a better flier!
It includes tips and hints that are usefull to ALL fliers!
If you want a how to trick dvd buy a dodd gross video you want usefull tips and tricks buy flying techniques!

HMMMMMM Flying techniques sold in the shop TOO MANY to count
Dodd Gross videos sold during flying techniques release HMMM 2

I agree with the guest above... There's not so much 'in-depth' instruction but more a satisfying skim of a varied bunch of subjects.

Three or four times I found myself thinking "Ah! Good idea!!! Why didn't I think of that?".

The section that did go a little deeper is the pair / team ballet section with Carl and James. I'm afraid that it served to fill me with despair at ever sorting something out for myself, but even so there are some great tips and hints for someone looking to write their first routine.

I also think it's a great video to have on hand to loan to a new flier.

I'd like to see a series of DVDs like this, one for each discipline, each one delving a little deeper into its subject. There's definitely room on the market for a multi-line techniques DVD and also a multi-person techniques DVD. Dodd has trick flying down with his Flight School DVDs, but for completeness I'd like to see a trick techniques DVD too (I also think that with ABW and the Kitestudio fliers amongst others you could produce some amazing trick flying sequences that far surpass what Dodd does on his videos.)

We clearly have the talent in this country (both behind and in front of the camera) to produce more titles like this, and I think they would sell well worldwide. Are there plans to continue with the 'Techniques' series?

Can someone PM me with the Easter Eggs please? I found the obvious smiley-face one, but Brian hinted at others (and his PM to me has gone) and I can't find them.
