Cool video RC! Is it legal to cast sitting down? smile

How about this for a fly casting idiot story...

I was shown how to cast by a friend and he told me a soccer field or football field was a great place for a city boy like me to practice my casting. I'm out one day at the park and really starting to get the hang of it. The fly is starting to get out there and with fluid motion (kind of a cool moment for me because casting is hard!) So, like an idiot, my casts are going farther and farther but I don't realize that they are going of equal distance behind me, farther and farther. I probably have like 30-35' of line out (I know its not that great but for me it was). Out and back. Out and backkkkkkk. I end up, on the back cast, hooking a biker. Man can those bikers take drag!!! SNAP the tippet breaks and off he goes with my fly attached to the back of his hooded sweat shirt. I was so embarrassed I didn't say a thing and off he went. To this day, I wonder what he thought when he took off that sweatshirt and saw a wooly bugger firmly hooked into the fabric.
