Random Stunt Kite Videos

Back in May, I uploaded some stunt kite videos to Google Video. The videos aren't anything extraordinary -- I used a digital camera that didn't even have sound, and the kites tricks are interesting but nothing out of the ordinary. But I wanted to post them somewhere, so here goes:

• Joe flying a Prism Quantum stunt kite at the Berkeley Marina.
• Liz flying a Prism Quantum stunt kite at Ocean Beach.
• More of Liz flying a Prism Quantum stunt kite at Ocean Beach.

Thanks, Joe and Liz!

I don't think this is the type of media Google Video actually wanted; the signup and submission process asks questions that are targeted towards a video production company, not personal video from random people.

Technical tangent: Is there any way to get a de-cruftified URL to a google video other than editing the URL by hand? You can remove everything but the "docid=" parameter, but it sure would be nice if there was a "link to this video" option similar to that in google maps.
