Velocity Kiting's winch kept spirits high in low wind conditions at the Mille Lacs Kite Crossing. March 7, 2009. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL-iyCXHKc4 Event Organizer: http://fleet8.com Sony XDCAM EX3: http://www.zsyst.com Video Producer: http://www.reelnomad.com "Dolly": http://mnkit...

Thanks for the lesson, Tom. And thanks to everyone else for the good company. What a great day!

Despite the low winds, it was a fun weekend. It was nice to see everyone. I didn't get much kiting footage, but I got some of VK's winch and NSK's sliders. I'll let you know when I put up a clip of "Le Cranke" in action.

I'm in! See you there!

Other than the CBS reporter calling this parasailing, it seemed well reported in that they spoke of "the dangers inherent in Tropical Storm-force winds" rather than painting the sport itself as dangerous. Hope the guy is ok.

Hey all you kiters with cameras, here is a chance to show your stuff and maybe win some cash and a kite trip. See details below. I am not affiliated with this video contest, I just thought some of you might be interested in submitting. Ride On. -Aleshia Submit a video doing your thing at Full Thrott...

Lots of good recommendations here. I think I'll have to pick up a couple of them over the summer.

I can check with the MN Dept of Tourism to see if they want any Mille Lacs kiting footy.

I'll try to show up with my camera in hand!

Hey Todd, I wish you a swift and fully functional recovery.

That just gives me a nice happy feeling.

That's beautiful, what a great memory for the kids, and for you, I saw that big smile!

I can't wait to see you all with your lazy boys and trick skis. In the mean time, here is a kite sled vid.

Glad to hear you were able to get some action out of that sled, and just have fun!!! Hope your foot heals soon.

Nice, thanks for giving us an idea of the terrain. It looks beautiful out there.
