[/quote] Exactly! Soartech has hit the nail right on the head. As much as I like Bruno's videos, the shots of him with the intravenous tube up his nose are guaranteed to put off potential young pilots. Makes it look like he's on parole from intensive care for a last couple of hours outside before he has to "get his affairs in order". Get rid of it. "Leave it to Beaver" days are over. Look at the trailer from "Cloudstreet" being done in New Mexico. In general it will be a beautiful film...but in one scene they make the same mistake: some guy who looks 80 yrs old with the nose tube....The message? - this sport is for geezers in plaid shorts who drive to the glider field in gold carts..... You have to get good looking, young people in these promo videos and jazz them up. Study the sophisticated advertising business. The Let's Go Gliding stuff is staid, boring. Even using the word "gliding" is a mistake - reinforces the get dragged up, waft back down impression. So much to do...[/quote]

You mean something more cool like this?
