Check out our exclusive line of logo gear!

Welcome to our competition video area... Here we gather any and all winning competition routines we can find, so that fliers who might not normally recieve an opportunity to visit nationally ranked events can be inspired by the passion and level of performance that is possible... So far.

This is the single largest collection of complete demonstration and competition videos available anywhere on the world wide web!

If you love this type of content, you'd be tickled to see the video collection in our official subscribers section... Most of the videos found below are fairly small (320x240), and in our subscribers section they are generally 720x480 for better viewing, along with iPod versions for many of them!

CLICK HERE FOR SUBSCRIPTION INFO!

Current number of videos: 192

New additions show for 15 days
after being added to the collection.

We also have a large collection of demo routines, to which we plan to add more in the future... Competition routines are further below, or just click here for demo routines!

You are welcome to visit Kitelife to view them free of charge, anytime. If you would like to support our projects, feel free to become a Kitelife Subscriber... There is a link on the home page.

First, verify your system against the important notes to the right!

Some videos may be partial, or interrupted, but we try to still include these if there is some good team flying or creative routine work.
  • Only use these links using a high speed connection, as dial up users may freeze up and be required to reboot.
  • Plug-ins should play video when using IE4+, NS4+, Mozilla and most comparable browsers.
  • Download of plug-ins is usually an automatic option on such browsers if not installed already.
  • Video files range 6-45MB each and may take a few minutes to load, it's easiest to pause it at the start and wait 2-3 minutes before playing.
