		Pocock also explains how the kite will not act as a conductor for electricity and so is not a danger around electric clouds.
		Pocock suggests that the optimum way of using this device is for the lecturer to stand on a pedestal in the centre of the balloon with his students sitting around him/her.

		As was discussed earlier, even though both Ulbrickson and Pocock believed in the concurrent use of legs, back and arms, all working together starting at the catch, George's ideal stroke included a component not part of Ulbrickson's 2nd Generation Conibear Stroke, namely initial leg drive strong enough to initially immobilize the backs and arms.
		This distinction between Ulbrickson's pure concurrent technique and Pocock's hybrid-concurrent technique with legs emphasized was subtle in the extreme, and Pocock was aware that even mentioning stronger leg drive ran the risk of losing the Schubschlag "one cut" feeling, encouraging slide shooting and/or a Kernschlag segmented pull-through, which George abhorred as much as Al.
		The issue that George Pocock was addressing on the day that von Wrangell was listening in probably had a lot to do with the difficult transition from an eight to a four.

		George Pocock, the father of kite traction, made the first recorded kite powered upwind course in a carriage pulled by his patented four line controllable kite systems on the back roads of Bristol, 170 years ago.
		His intention was to establish kitepower as an alternative to horsepower, partly to avoid the hated "horse tax" that was levied at that time.
		George’s system proved the principles of kite traction but wasn’t even nearly practical.
