Thank you Mike for getting all the videos together. Is there a chance we can have a score sheet please?

I'd rate it a good chance. :P Expect it in the fullness of time. This isn't the only thing I'm doing at the moment. :wink:

Ok if you haven't done it by the time I've finished scoring then I'll let you have mine :P

I also had a quick scan through, good luck everyone.

And I can't play Adam Pollitt or Mike Fogg's because my computer isn't fast enough. It's not a VLC problem, just not enough processor juice.
Please may I request a smaller 720x480 version please?

Can someone point me to where I can find info on scoring, can’t see anything on the RULES page?

Two scores needed, both on the scale 0~10. One for Technical; how difficult the flying is. Another for Flow; the artistry of how the flying comes together. Whole points, decimals, however you feel you can score this.

In general a 0:0 should be impossible unless the kite and surrounding areas actually catches fire. A video scoring 10:10 will be almost as difficult to come by (but not quite).

If you (or anyone) throws out a truly weird score I will ask, just to check, once. But they are your scores and your business. They are not made public.

Also:
Adam Pollitt and Mike Fogg at reduced size.

Mike.

Mike, for some reason the zip file of all the videos didn't work for me. Probably an issue at my end, but no matter, I just downloaded them separately...

At first glance there's some good stuff in there - well done everyone. Now the fun part - watching the videos, and then the difficult bit - scoring...

Anyone else getting this ? Local copy is fine, uploaded file is same size, etc. I don't really want to re-upload the 305MB file unless I have to :wink:

I have had no issues with the zip files. I've taken a peak at some of the entries, some nice stuff there :)

Great standard of flying yet again. Some questionable music too but I guess we are all unique in some strange way 8)

Don't worry about it then... It's probably me, so unless anyone else shouts about it, it's probably fine. In any case, I've already downloaded the lot individually and am starting to work my way through them. Got to say I'm impressed so far... :thumbsup:

I've tried to download the whole zip file a few times on a couple different computers from different locations (one at work, the other at home). I get to about 258MB, and then the process seems to get interrupted. I get a zip file, but when I click on it, I get a message saying that the zip folder is invalid or corrupted. I'll try download the files individually.
