Fractured Axel

The website is updated with links to the entered videos, all 17 of them. There is also a ZIP file of 205MB with all the entries. I'll put up links to any >20MB versions later.

The best of luck to those who have entered. You may now begin your dissection. Let me know if I've screwed up somewhere.

Mike.

Some great stuff in there from some new folks. Right on, Mike.

obi

Nice to see some old school flic-flacs!

I am really happy the competition didnt stuck at 8 competitors and Obi is absolutely right! Didnt know judging is so damn hard! I really enjoyed seeing Bryan`s Insane right left since I havent seen one yet in my short kite-'career', too.

David

Well played everyone - some good stuff in there. 3 or 4 in with a shout of winning - one nailed on 6th place, and one sort of last without question.

Nice work.

Scores are here, you want 'em anyhow, or shall I await the spreadsheet?

Bryan

Well done everyone. I had fun watching those... Some really good freestylin' amongst them.

Scores in...

Scoring sheets went out yesterday and I've already had some back but you're the second to suggest non-receipt

Check the spam box and if not the XLS is here and an RTF here.

Mike.

A little factoid or two...

17 entries and only two kites made more than one appearance: Benson's Deep Space and Jest of Eve's Talon.

6 first time entrants (35%).

2 irrelevant "best things"
Best sky goes to Thomas Patterson
For flying in what looks like a approaching thunderstorm, while sheltering under a bunch of high tension lines, a place on the Darwin short-list goes to Alexander Belov

Seriously - well done everybody.

Stuart

Scores in! Lotsa fun, some enjoyable viewing, well done most

Congrats everyone, there's some nice flying in there.... sorry for not competing this round - I couldn't get hold of a camera. Nor any time. To be honest I thought there was still another month to go.... how time accelerates...

Stuart,

We have 2 skys here in Seattle, WA - that one and the other one which is pure blue. We get the blue one for 3-4 months and the gray one for 8-9.

Scores sent!

Dave

Scores sent, too! Excited about who`s winning :)

Nice work you all
