I'm not quite sure I agree with that. It was supposed to be a freestyle flying contest. Novice flyers shouldn't waste bandwidth when they know they can't win. I don't enter weight lifting contests just because it might be fun. I don't want to waste everyones time. (I bench about 60lbs) ABW's video was the only good one in my opinion. I gave most of the flyers a zero on artistic merit. No style what-so-ever. I was so bored I wanted to put a gun to my head. Why can't anyone be creative now days? You don't have to be doing all the latest tricks inorder to do some good flying. I'd much rather watch some guys do basic tricks really well than sloppy technical crap. Do the basic tricks you do know in an interesting and artistic way.

It's probably worth discussing.
The point is this isn't just Novices wasting bandwidth... this was an open invitation for kite flyers to make videos for a fun competition. Noone asked you to download them, or watch them, or even vote, so why whine about it afterwards? You watch one, decide it's a waste of your precious time, delete it and move on... big deal.
Secondly, I don't believe that really is your opinion. I find it hard to believe you can't find anything good to say about most of those videos.
If you really don't want to waste everyone's time then log off, go out and get a life John. Your honest opinion is welcome here, pointless trolling isn't.
