Yeah come on, I am a geek. I read all that junk once I realized you were still around.

Cool - yep, I'm still having fun - glad you're here.

I'm in!!! Yeah!!

Alright, update: Looks like I can only get the gym for Nov 5th (Sat), 1:15pm to 6:15pm... Still good to go for this Wayne?

For anyone reading here, we have filled all six slots for this clinic, sorry!

Thanks! Just got a B-Series (in the Night coloring) with 90# 120' lines, a 2 wrap and a race frame a couple of weeks ago from A Wind Of Change in Salt Lake (drove down for a visit!), and have been practicing! Need some tips on hovering and posture, light winds (light-gusty winds have been what I've been dealing with here the past few days) and clockwork items. So... thought I'd subscribe to check out the tutorials and spend some time on the forums!

Oh, forgot to mention it's a Mid-Vent.

Good stuff, you're in the right place here - lots if friendly and knowledgeable folks on hand to help and inspire.

Thanks John! Looking forward to learning the ropes! Thanks for having me. .

I'm partially regretting the purchase of my EXP. It's wonderful for coastal areas but not so great for the area i live in 1.5 hours away from good coastal wind. Is there a way to modify the EXP for lower wind conditions, or should i just buy another kite for lower wind?

I've got the bug for sure. Very excited to submerse myself in the Kite Life. . . Really enjoy the videos you post as well. Thanks for posting John.

Rock on - please repost your EXP question on the forum, you'll be well looked after - right now, I'm grabbing a quick connect while camping.

You're welcome dude !

Good to hear!!!

Let it rip! Even 30 minutes at dusk is well worth it. But then again, guess I'm telling the wrong person this

Ah yep, bopped out an hour and a half of awesome street flying.

Thanks.

John,

I'm looking to sell off a bunch of my kites. I was wondering if you could give a ball park on what they may be worth. Rev 1.5 sle standard tubes that came with it. Rev vented b with 2 sets of tubes, case and handles( neon yellow & black). I also have a blue moon mse signed in really good condition. I have others as well.

Thanks,

Adam

Hey John!

I'm really honored to meet you in person! I live in Berlin and just bought a Rev 1.5 JB Edition :-)

Do you know that we have a huge abandoned airport over here in the center of the city (Tempelhof), which is perfect for kiting?

Just sent you an email, but it looks like you did manage to login - glad to see it.

Looks like a great kite venue, hope to see it myself someday!

Wow, what an honor to be personally welcomed by you! Thanks John!

Pleased to have you on board.

Can you give me an idea of what the should go for.

Sorry hit comment before I was done. Thanks for the welcome.

Thanks for the welcome, John. I plan to crawl the topics and pages to see what I can learn about quad line kiting. I'm looking to purchase my first, just not sure what to get: HQ mojo, Freilin Windrunner, or Revolution. I have a limited budget of 200 bucks to start. I have read a couple forum post discussing buying US made vs. import but I'm looking for some additional wisdom from experienced quad line flyers.

You're in the right place, lots of good folks here - will get a fair range of feedback.

Respect! Hope we can be a part of furthering your love for flying.

BTW - can you post the link to your YouTube video?

Thank you! I hope to find a lot of info here. I look forward to being active also.

Tons of info, great folks, you're most welcome and please don't hesitate to holler if you need help finding anything.

Thanks for the welcome, and more importantly, thank you for your instructional videos. As someone who has been involved with adult learning for more than 20 years, I have found them to be very clear and concise. Feel free to reach out me if you ever find you will be in Yellowstone again.

My pleasure! I really, truly love flying and being able to relate that potential experience to others is an honor - there will be more eventually, as time, venue, weather, assistants and inspiration allow. I'll try to remember about Yellowstone, but I'll certainly broadcast loud and clear when I'm on road trips. Again, welcome to the forum - please be at home.

hmm there are some great flyers on Hawaii you might need an assistant just let me know

Yeah John, I'd love to hang out with you and TK.... you just need to change LAX to CLE : )

Why thank you.

Thanks John! Im looking forward to chatting with others who love kites, and hopefully meeting people in Melbourne to go out flying with!

Thanks John... missed watching you fly in Lincoln City this time...

Hi John,

Thanks for the welcome. I was made aware of this forum last weekend by a gentleman that came up to me while I was flying my Rev 1.5 at Myrtle Beach last week. He was on vacation from Florida, he was short older guy that goes to Myrtle every October. He was ecstatic to see someone flying a Rev there. I let him fly my Rev 1.5, but decided the winds were way too strong for it, so I changed to my Rev 2 and we both flew it for about 30 minutes. I wish I recalled his na...

Will probably just be a stalker, don't know if I'll ever have much to add!

Thank you.

Thanks John. I have been reading many posts and learning from you and the regular posters on the forum. It's new to me and I go to post but realize the thread was from 2010 or so. I have a lot of catching up to do. I am having a blast and meeting a lot of great people. -Marshall

Thank you JB, nice to be here
