    I much prefer the terminology, kite cave.
  2. John Barresi
    Done.

    Got my hands full as it is, I declined the opportunity to bid on the job when it was available.

    I'm not sure if it's an editorial style, or if the AKA Editor simply wasn't sent a larger and more thorough report. You might consider posting the same question on the AKA Kite Talk forum, in an appropriate topic area. While I haven't seen the latest issue yet, the reports from their last issue were similarly lacking for my tastes... I know I'd rather read a few well written 2-5 page reports with photos than narrow "blip" reports from more events.

    Thanks Ken, I keep getting involved in more and more stuff... It was really necessary for someone else with the knowledge and skills to assume the role. I know Amy will do great, she's got a toe in everything having to do with kites... Event organizing, kite making, sport kite comps (quad and dual), team flying, indoor, and the list goes on.

    I've flown my vented B-Series 1.5 with a 4 wrap frame and extra 4 wrap leading edge in 60 mph before, on 150 lb lines. But, it takes a confident hand.

    Denny, take a look at the Silver Fox review in Kitelife if you haven't already... http://www.kitelife.com/archives/issue53/s...fox53/index.htm

    Look for the video link near the bottom of this page... http://www.kitelife.com/archives/ktai06/1-6/index.htm I flew the Freestylist in '06 and really enjoyed it, really well made.

    Glad to hear it, they are good folks.
  11. John Barresi
    Great stuff.
  12. John Barresi
    When in doubt, always feel free to email me for the info.

    Sorry Amy, misread... Was Carl's post, not yours. Edited to suit.
  14. John Barresi
    Just got one of the Drachen/Rev anniversary shirts... Very cool. Amy Carl, no other problems reported... Sounds like a local issue, on your machine.

    Cheers Denny, thank you, and welcome to the forum!

    Hi folks, a little over a month ago we started getting reports of downloader scripts and trojan warnings from a some of our visitors when they would load up Kitelife... After some extensive research and hours of searching our site's code, this little pearl landed in our lap: http://www.wired.com/techbiz/media/news/2007/11/doubleclick Indeed, Kitelife was using some Doubleclick based ads, but they are being removed from every page on the site as we speak. Starting tomorrow afternoon, if ANYONE experiences these problems, please send us an email and tell us what page you had the problem on. Thanks for your patience, and support.

    Very nice indeed! Damien is quite good with that Nirvana, nice combos.

    I will say, Berkeley not only taught me a lot about high wind flying in the summers... But ever so much about light wind flying over the winter. One of these days, I'll tell you how the axel was invented... It happened right there at Cesar Chavez. Flying on those swirling, low wind days are some of my fondest memories.
  19. John Barresi
    I flew at the Berkeley field nearly every day between 1990 and 1994... During that time, I'm sad to say, winds seemed light all over the bay area. Might be worth watching the forecasts, but I wouldn't hope for too much. San Francisco (Chrissy Field or Ocean Beach) might be better, but I'm not sure.

    A quick tease... Actual performance video to come, in the next 2 weeks.

    MrDenny, you can find iQuad gear on the team's web site.

    I'm in Sydney now, on my way to Perth for our last show of the year... Look for a report in Kitelife.
  23. John Barresi
    My most common typo error on the Kitelife domain... http://www.kitelie.com Maybe I'll make a blog, where we can post lies about all the kite fliers in the world. Nah, I'd probably bear the brunt of that idea. LOL
  24. John Barresi
    Great pics Wen, a pleasure to see you guys, as always. FYI, I cleaned up the links... Just put 'em in normal with http://, the forum will auto-parse (link) them.
