You know I am really really noticing a trend as soon as kite fliers begin to compete at anything.
As for crashes, the difference between a crash and a creative landing is how you handle it. I would never deduct from a flier who ended up the ground and then did something good with it.
I am interested in the spread of scores for Technical and Style - as most people seem to be getting very close marks in these areas.
As for the quality of the flying, well we all did our best in the situation. Some of us had many hours of footage to search throuh, others of us dashed out just before the deadline and had a laugh. Whatever. As long as we can be chilled out and relaxed about it all and not get worked up. After all it's not Eurocup and it's not like the tide has come in.
