what does every1 think bout havin a short home made video comp or compilation , we could put them all onto a dvd ? I'm talking like 2 - 3 mins max of your own footage of yourself or other people maybe to a song or something, but has to be us aussie's kiting in Aus.
? we could send all the vids to 1 person on cd or dvd , then they could Burn a few dvd's with all of the compilations on there, would be a pretty cheap kite vid , maybe wif some good footage, for less than $10.?

WHAT DO U SUGGEST, STRAP A CAMERA TO OUR HEADS?
OR TIE IT TOO A TREE AND HOPE THE THIEVES DONT STEAL IT LIKE THEY SEEM TO BE DOING EVERYTHING ELSE.
THE WAY THINGS ARE GOING WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE A LOOP INTEGRATED INTO THE KITE SO WE CAN PADLOCK OUR KITES TO A TREE OR SOMETHING WHILST WE LAY OUT OUR LINES AS IT MAY BE GONE BY THE TIME WE GET THE 20-27M BACK......

At the risk of hijacking this post

Can I suggest you set up a "sting" - by baiting the trap with a cactus board in case they can run fast

Not that I would want to condone taking the "law" into your own hands mind...

hey plow - your plan sounds outrageous !
But if you have a recipe for a system that works please post the details - been trying to design something for ages.
Expensive alarm systems obviously of little help.
With 4 car break-ins of my own plus a set of driving lights in the past 18 months - total stolen over $4000 - total repair bill over $2000 - I'm ready to take ANY steps to catch ; maim ; whatever the *****ers very seriously.
If you dont want to post them here please email me
(Trust a Vic to be that devious [}:)])


? 4 strings ?

My thoughts weren't for anything hi-tech - although I have seen an interesting system developed in Sth Africa when they had a spate of carjackings - just press a button inside the vehicle and flames shoot out either side barbequeing the assailant

I was thinking more of a low-tech, leave a board on the beach and hide behind a dune/car (be careful at Swannies tho) !!! But maybe you could rig up a stick of jelly superglued to the board with some long cordite and say - sayonara

Ex-WA, still dont class myself as a Vic even after 6 years here this gig.

i decided to put this post back to the top as i think it is a good idea, i have a good video camera and a dvd burner, i am also good with computers and have video editing software.
i also have broadband so transfer of videos should be easy.
anyone else interested?

It's really easy to do - something I did for the local riders here in Cairns was post the movies to the web so that the guys could link to it and or send the link to rellos or whatever. http://homepage.mac.com/boxburg/kitesurfing/Menu71.html
To make a complilation DVD of people's best home kiting videos would be great.
It will take someone time and effort though - need someone with a lot of patience and hard drive space.
