Fractured Axel

The link to the results revealing recording is..... here.

Mike.

Very nice competition, and thanks for all Mike!

i arrived 3°, but i'm very happy with my new mug!

Compliments to all pilotes!

wow!

didn't expect that





i knew david would win when i first saw all video's

The drawn prizes went as follows:-

Area 51 kite - Krijn Hemminga
VF mug - Davide Equizzi
VF mug - Mike Fogg
£25 in FA KiteQuids - Bryan Beasley (please spend them as they have been kicking around for a while)

And a copy of "The Kite Runner" from Lucie Hemminga (thank you) to Dave Hearn.

As for a little data mining...
David Rüger was top or equal top scored on 8 of the 12 other flyer's scoresheet. 2nd, 3rd and 4th placers got 2~3 each.
Highest single score was a 10:10, lowest a 3:2.

Congrats and whatnot to all who took part.

Mike,
thinking about changing his name to Dave.

Well done to all that entered
Thanks to Mike for running it.

Oh FFS. Anyone wanna sell a mug for £25?

Nah, that wouldn't be right, gotta win one fair and square.
Well done all, and thanks a bunch Mike (LOL'd at name changing - 'er indoors said I should do exactly that 10 mins before reading your post.).

Top post in the other thread Jay - with you all the way.

I have flown a SIN extensively in good wind and found it to give away most tricks but particularly the taz machine unlike even a Cosmic TC. It's an easy kite to fly, and for this competition, I had to take that into account.

This is a perfectly viable approach to take - use your experience to evaluate the performance - but I wouldn't describe it as exclusively the way to go. One of the privileges of entering VF is that you get to pontificate and critique the other flyers however you wish to. For the most part it all comes out in the wash and the crowd comes to a conclusion that looks, at worst, about right.

Mike.

Good round, congratulations to the winners, Krijn and the mug winners.


Most memorable moment for me was Davide's rolling cascade with the double lazys

yes, that's a cool combination

believe it or not, but that move appears several times in the movie about LO's Black Pearl, just saw that today
(but three time two lazy's and not only one at the end in davide's )


Krijn

for mike!

Well done David really enjoyed the overall quality from all competitors in this round. Big thumbsup to Mike again, good work. Also a big thank you to Lucie (havn't read this one yet).

Thanks for voting me on the first place, I really enjoyed this VF-edition. I also apologize for using an easy kite!

Might be easy in your hands, not so mine.

Time to start sinning again. Might put a smile back on my face.
