Jake,

Thank you for filming! I am impressed with the quality of the video. I just wish I had brought my head cam as well. A big thanks to Chris and Tyler for picking us up. The hill we glided was downwind about a mile or so from Strawberry River.

It was very light wind, probably around 8 - 10 mph on the hills.

Those were fun videos! I really liked the take off and how fast the ground fell away. Good sensation value. The gliding was the third scariest to watch. 1st scariest-- looping the kite over the road, 2nd -- looping the kite over the trees, 3rd -- gliding. One question, how do you know that you aren't going to glide out into the road?

Ralph, You can steer the kite while gliding and decide on your path of travel.

True, I like the loops over the road while semis were passing.
Thinking to myself, what the hell is he doing, and then realized,
he's just getting there.
