50 sled kites? Just the thing for a father and son day at kindergarten :-)

What a nice welcome! Hi all, my name is Phil and I live in Minnesota in the Minneapolis area. I bought my first quad about 5 years ago AND NEVER FLEW IT TILL THIS WEEK! LOL. Probably because I knew I'd be hooked. And I am. Badly. 🤷‍♂️ I find myself staring out of the window at work looking for a breeze every day. I'm slowly discovering how hard and rewarding this sport/art is. Would love to hook up with anyone locally to see what a real flight looks like!

While not as indepth as some tutorials, I put some split screen in there so you can see kite and hands, hopefully it helps enjoy, Sent from my SM-G973F using KiteLife mobile app

Thank you for this! It provided incentive for me to give it a try. The long arm movements, together with slack line management proved to be the key and my success rate improved with repetition, as one might expect. It gave me a chance to try it with my shorter 33 foot lines, which I suspect may be of some assistance for early attempts. As a side note, I am also drawing attention to the spelling of the word “axle“ in order that anyone doing a search on this site might also be drawn to the alternate spelling, axel. I understand that this latter name is based on the figure skating move similarly named involving a jump and completing a type of spin around the axis. As I understand it, it was named after Axel Paulson, the Norwegian figure skater who invented, or made popular, the move in the late 1800s. I am Canadian, so I know about this stuff 🙂 Wiki: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axel_jump .
