Some of you may remember the Flight School DVD with Dodd Gross. Some of you may be old enough to remember the flight school video. Well now there is a chance to relive those old training videos. Still very relevant to beginners, and those learning tricks, Dodd has been posting segments of his DVD on his Dodd's Flight School (Sportkites)group on Facebook. I strongly recommend taking a look, you'll find it has been split into easy to take segments, and Dodd is uploading more and more sections to create a wonderful resource for all flyers. For those who don't know, Dodd was designer for HQ kites many years ago, having been a competitive flyer at masters level. He left HQ and after several years designing kites independently, is now the creative force behind Skydog kites. By the way Steve, he is also percussionist with The Evokatones. He is also trying to resurrect the Flight School world tour, which if you are old enough you will remember had a landing in the UK back in the 90's if I recall.

Unfortunately I lent both my Flight School and Prism "Way to Fly" DVDs to someone many years ago and never saw them again. I recall writing a review in the Windjammer about them, which could be summarised as the Prism DVD had better production values, but for the absolute beginner, the Flight School DVD was probably the better starting place.

Hey Gareth, I just came across your post on Dodd's School DVD. I have a couple copies of it and would be happy to send you one to go into your clubs library. let me know and I'll send it out. Mike P.S. Dodd spent last summer on the West Coast on the 2014 Flight School World Tour. He's Playing the Spring Break Crowd on the East Coast USA this spring with his "New" band "The Substance". www.facebook.com/TheSubstanceYorkPA?fref=nf

I am not sure if Gareth has been in contact with you about a copy of the video as mentioned, as I know he has been in Italy supporting the Wales Rugby Union Team in the 6 Nations Championship, which Wales, had a chance of winning outright.
