Independent Reviews

aerodyne - "This is excellent information, right up to the minute, explanation and demonstration of the
latest two line aerobatic manouevres such as the 'Comete' and 'Jacob's ladder'".

www.Kite-Tests.de - "a dvd, made like a meeting with the top pilots on your very own kite field ... get it !"

kHiTe - "It will make you laugh, it might even make you cry, you will say 'I never knew that',
you will recognize some stuff you may have heard before..."

Sport Kite News - "The section on competition flying is mandatory viewing for anybody wishing to move into
kite competitions. I have been competing since 1993, and there was
stuff in there that I had never really thought about".

Power Kite Magazine - "...the first European DVD for kite-flyers made by a respected
and totally independent producer".

kHiTe catches up with Carl, James, Andy, Brian and Helen
to ask them how they found the Flying Techniques video.

Flying Techniques - One Year On (March 2005)

We have received an overwhelmingly positive response to Flying Techniques during the last year and we would like to say a big thank you to everyone that has bought a copy.

The time has finally come and publicly confess to what some of you have already discovered - yes we did bury a small number of 'Easter Eggs' into Flying Techniques, just like we did with the Weymouth 2002 and Kites 2002 DVD.

So, if you would like to know where these Easter Eggs are, just click on the following link...

Yummy, Yummy Easter Eggs
