Subject: Flight School II

Upon request from my friends from Europe,
They asked me to post my learning training method I recently developed.
It is copywrited 1994
For space sake, this is the condensed version.
While teaching over 90 fliers in Europe in Sept of this year< this system
fell into my lap so to speak, and it really does work! It can be used to
practice for competition, familiarize yourself with a new kite(they all
handle differently) and of course to teach others. It  is simple but
effective.
Step one: teaches control, straight tracking,percise cornering
Step two: teaches fast hand movments, and encourages geometric patterns.
Step three: teaches techniques for steady slides, landings, and how to
hold stalls.
Step four: teaches how to do consistent and steady snap stalls.
Step five: concentrates on snap stall/axles, spin/axels
Step six: teaches how to recover gracefully from crashes.

Each step sets the user up for the next one. When put together, it can be
practiced in sequence and taks about 2 minutes per cycle(1-6) then do it
again>
Also many tips regarding competition are given through out.

Disclamer: (sort of) Because this is my system, and now in the form of my
new video, I am bias. However, alot of people have benifited from this,
and like I said
it works! To show that I am not totally bias, I thought the first video I
did, Flight School(basics). was my first one and it could have been done
better. but it did exactly that.It concentrated on the basics needed for
dual line kite flying, but briefly(very quickly) goes through the hard
stuff. Although that was my intention. 

I took the "constructive critisizms" to heart and applied that to this
one. Flight School II is longer(45min) shot in beta(better quality
film)(available Vhs) better edited, more kite flying, more instruction,
windows to show hand movement along with the kites action, and was a lot
of fun to make. Thanks to every one for your most helpful advise.
