technical = difficulty level, sharpness of execution
Whatever the other one is = the flow of the routine - whether it leads smoothly from one trick to the next. Crashes and other breaks in continuity take a big hit from me here.
To me, someone making a mistake in a trick such that continuity is broken may lose more from that than someone who crashes and gets right back on their feet. I personally don't really care for specific definitions for tricks as that leads to boxifying kiteing. Freestyling is good, just doing whatever flows nicely. Even if that's only 2 rotations of a comete, a jacob's ladder that doesn't alternate correctly, whatever. It's all good. That's what VF is all about.

with a sufficiently large group of people scoring, such as with VF17, then each individual score has a small effect. If one person scores shall we say unconventionally because they took into account the landscape, the music, the colour of the kite, etc. that some might consider irrelevant, it probably won't make that much difference.
In other words, it all comes out in the wash. Do your best, score it as you see it and no-one can call you wrong. That's all that can be asked.

However Davide's routine flowed very well, had smooth control through out and his opening hex loop added to it IMO.From an strictly "artistic content" perspective, which VF17 videos do you think are the best?
In my opinion, Davide Equizzi's video is the winner, very good image quality, great location, nice routine, beautiful music, great editing with a very nice intro, the waves in the beach during the credits, and the closing phrase: "Vola solo chi osa farlo.", simply beautiful. My congratulations to Davide for this great video. I would just like some information on the beautiful soundtrack, who is that singer?
The second would be Alex Belov's video with that great bucolic background, the strange lighting of the cloudy sky, the snowfall, the nice music, all framing Alex's excellent performance.
