    Nah, still don't care for the move... Just working on adding it to me repertoire, along with the Duplex, Taz Machine and a few other tricks I'd not learned yet.
  2. John Barresi
    I'm thinking TK has the answer to that! Boy howdy.

    540 flat spin? Dean Ahem, check out the first move in this video. No custom colors, this is a factory model kite... Looks like the stock trim colors will be blue, red and yellow (3 options).

    My dual line project, to be available through authorized Into The Wind distributors, pre-ordering opens in February.

    Looks like TK, Yuji and myself will be at West Delta Park this Saturday (October 23) if the weather is suitable.

    Hope to see some of you there, probably from 10am onward. ;)

    I do so love pre and post prize banter.

    Ha, just realized I already posted the life74 link - sorry, plate's full, a bit scattered. Seems to me the biggest dynamic is sociological... Kiting has taken a hit with baseball games, camping trips, and all sorts of other outdoor family activities. In my eyes, it's a matter of representing kiting in new ways, appealing to the new generations in ways that they can relate to and get excited by.

    Darned copy and paste! Blue, it is.

    My pleasure Chuck, glad to do it! Great fun team flying with you on Sunday by the way, let's do it again here in Portland sometime. <grin>

    I believe kiting is going through an evolutionary process as we speak... A lot has changed since the early 90s, and organized kiting was (is) a little slow to evolve from a presentation standpoint. A lot of the old guard is dropping off by attrition, some new faces are coming in or "coming of age", I honestly see good things in the years to come. A couple of semi-related articles, might of interest: http://kitelife.com/magazine/issue73/life73 http://kitelife.com/magazine/issue74/life74

    Zen

    John Barresi replied to badinfluence's topic in Quad Heads

    Aye, I can't praise the Zen enough... Bazzer and I really wanted to create a kite that could make extreme light wind flying accessible to anyone, especially those with limited mobility. I'm happy to say we're very happy with the result.

    Thanks for your patience folks, just came back from over a week away between Denver and AKA - how about we pick ourselves a winner now? DRUM ROLL PLEASE.... The brand new Crossfire goes to... Subscriber #574... Congratulation to Brad Bixby, owner of a sweet new dual line kite! I'm playing catch up on other stuff today as well, give me a few hours to dig out a new prize. Thanks for your support guys, means the world to us!

    Ohhhh, great day in Seaside... Spent 3-4 hours on my new dual line today, glassy smooth 5-10 mph winds, just perfect at AKAGN!

  18. John Barresi

    is in need of some pretty serious dental work at the end of October, actually have an infection in the jaw bone... With the joys of being self-employed and our American health care system, I'm selling a few prized treasures to raise funds, posts to follow... Help a brother get some new teeth, buy a kite! :)

  24. John Barresi

  25. John Barresi

    Ugh, was thinking about flying today but looks like rain on/off all day and light winds. :P
