Miniac Posted May 18, 2004 Author Report Posted May 18, 2004 Thanks, exactly what I was looking for! Quote
Epée Posted June 7, 2004 Report Posted June 7, 2004 Top tips there ... whether you're a beginner or a smarty-pants trickster, these animations make it clear what you need to do, and in what order you need to trick to try to kill your kite. The 'Flight School' videos do the same job, only more expensively, with a commentary and with a degree from the school of cheesey hobbyists. This is free (!) ... pick a trick (or basic manoevre), make some notes and go and fly it. I have used it, because the very good text descriptions help you explain to a learner how to do the things which you now find instinctive ! (And also to help me do the very snazzy looking things I always wanted to do !) Quote
dnahacker Posted June 9, 2004 Report Posted June 9, 2004 I think this site is cracking for basic / advanced tricks with animations http://www.prismkites.com/new-site/animations.htm hope its of use! But very very limited and very very out of date, if you wanna see where trick flying is really at then check out the videos section of http://www.tricksparty.com/ the prism stuff is old tired and dull Quote
desciple Posted June 9, 2004 Report Posted June 9, 2004 Check out the forums at Fracturedaxel.co.uk and you'll get a few more links and tips. Quote
Sittingduck Posted June 9, 2004 Report Posted June 9, 2004 But very very limited and very very out of date, if you wanna see where trick flying is really at then check out the videos section of http://www.tricksparty.com/ the prism stuff is old tired and dull But in order to do the snazzy tricks on the tricksparty site you need every one of the skills on the prism site. You can't do a jacobs ladder before you can stall & axle now can you? They are just building blocks, nicly explained. Quote
Epée Posted June 10, 2004 Report Posted June 10, 2004 Is it my imagination or did we just discover the natural habitat of the thirty-something kite flying male ? Thanks to dnahacker for the new link - prism dot wotsit for the basic manoevres, tricksparty for the 'howdeedoodat ?' effect. Sparhawk 1 Quote
