Subject: Videos of those spectacular routines

Hi Everyone. 
I've been following the Artistic vs technical thread for quite a while, 
and several times, referemnces to outstanding routines have been mentioned.
Among these are the Battle Hymn of the Republic, Lois and Superman,
Over the Rainbow, etc... 

Unfortunately, I was not present at any of the events where these were flown,
and I don't have access to the videos. 

A request and suggestion: I think that a compilation of the "Best Moments in
Stunt Kiting" is in order. I know that there are videos of several competitions
but I don't really want to buy all of them. I would like to get a list 
of all those spectacular routines and which events they came from, and 
where to get the tapes. Better yet, some kind soul with all the tapes could
put together the best of. Why, that person could even charge a small
fee to cover their editing work.

What do you all think?  

I don't have the time or the money to attend many events, but I really want
to keep up with the "sport." It also helps to watch others to get 
inspired (as Steve has pointed out). As a drummer, I've borrowed some of 
my best chops from Neal Peart, but the way I combine them is all mine.

Thanks,
Dean

First a word of caution. Technically, most of the video tapes of
events that are being sold have been copyrighted. This means that
someone really can't make a copy of the tape to send to you. Also,
most events prohibit the taping/filming of an event for profit without
written permission of the organizers.

I'll try to gather some of the stuff that I have shot together for a
tape...
