    A-ok, 90# will carry you all the way up through Vented generally, as the vents relieve pressure/pull.

    The key for me to avoid boredom generally comes down to what I call "running track", basically running through a guantlet of maneuvers end to end, and developing enough of them that I can throw down some real extended dance moves with awesome tunes in my ears - a snowboarder doesn't sit in one spot and practice turning forever, eventually the end up going down courses - same deal here, I need those "challenge courses". Old doc - kitelife.com/kl-archive/when-it-becomes-routine/ Competition is only one context for a routine or "deck of cards" (see article), it can also apply to recreational flying. The idea of building something that challenges several of your skills consecutively, gradually speeding up the sequence, adding difficulty, matching a beat or tempo, cleaning up the details along the way, all good for the soul.

    Thanks all, pretty quiet birthday (big 4-0)... Just finished a long weekend working on a new pairs routine with TK, starting 4 festival weekends in a row this Friday. The birthday I'm even more excited by is coming this August, marking 25 years of active kite flying.
  15. John Barresi
    TK and I will be there starting Friday the week before, so roughly 10 days of GLORIOUS kite flying.

    Side note... The KiteLife front end (magazine/articles) was running slow, giving us memory errors and failed page loads, so we've just doubled our resources (along with our monthly server costs) - I'm hoping you all find the website is running MUCH faster all around, certainly seems quicker on my end. A good test URL for this is the full index of all articles on the main KiteLife website (over 6800 items listed on a single page): http://kitelife.com/magazine-archive/ This upgrade / speed increase should affect the forum equally. Let me know what you find?
