That's "Shannon WinterDaze" to you (one person, not two). Are you getting line length issues ? I've shrunk his font.

deja vu.

Because most of us don't fly tricks at our best on 120ft lines. None of the vids look unusually short on line length, 75 to 100ft or so. You seem to have an obsession with this topic! Yes you fly on massive long lines! We know!

I only flew on 100' as the kite I was flying is small and doesn't trick as well with the added line weight of the 125' lines I normally fly on.

Done judging... now just need to get back to the other comp to email it in. Some very nice flying for sure!

Some excellent flying in there, good job everyone, and some lovely backdrops too. Red seems to be a very popular colour for a DeepSpace!!!

Tell you what though, the judging was a lot more difficult than the video!!! All done now though, so I'm on tenterhooks* awaiting the results...

* That one's just for you Mike :D

That one is a prototype for the epee which is the newest design that I am working on.
Currently it is ~2.2m. It acts a bit smaller though.

And the scores are rolling in already. And the website hasn't imploded yet either (do have another coffee Thomas).

Anything catch the eye particularly ?
