  1. Awesome. Please do post back here with your experiences on the new kite!
  2. Sweet. Congrats again Walt, and my everlasting thanks to everyone who played!
  3. Level One kites are made in Germany, it's possible you'll find one for sale in Europe as well.
  4. Well, it's $20 over your suggested price limit, but imho, you can't spend better money... Jump, by Level One http://www.thekiteshoppe.com/sport-kites/d...mp/prod_37.html In my experience, it's hands down the best kite under $130... A little smaller, but a beautiful balance between tricking, precision and durability. I've got dozens of dual line kites in the $300-$400 range, but I've got two of these and they actually get the most air time. Slightly smaller inputs, but... Yo yos (roll ups), jacobs ladder, you name it, this kite will do it, right out of the bag. Carves precision and tip stabs with the best of 'em, and has a WIDE wind range of 3-17 mph (approx). Most of the other kites in that price range are quite a bit heavier, and in my opinion, don't offer the same balance of characteristics. My 2 cents.
  5. Uneven lines, that's a big one, often overlooked by newer fliers.
  6. There you have it, from the designer himself.
  7. That's the way I always feel about my best students. Just ask TK! lol
  8. Aye, anyone interested in the open slot for our team clinic should contact me directly by PM or email. $35 for RevGuild members, $50 for non-members. 3 full days of clinic (Fri/Sat/Sun), plus a more relaxed bonus day of Monday to make four possible days.
  9. I have no doubts Dean, looking forward to it. Bring it on, punk!
  10. Ha, Dean just got his a$$ smoked by a teenager. *chuckle* Sorry Dean, couldn't resist.. Just pushing you.
  11. YouTube has cracked down on music licensing... So, no more Jungle Boogie.
  12. Some fun dual line vids... (old school flying) (pure trick flying) (mix of both) (AWESOME team flying)Some quad stuff... (indoor) (street flying) (killer mega fly) (my team in England)No particular reason for posting, just thought it might tickle you on both fronts. The possibilities are infinite, no matter what you fly.
  13. Aye aye, I'll try!
  14. I brought more duals to Japan than quads this time. Of course, you simply don't need as many Revs to get the job done. Brought SUL/STD/VTD Shivas (precision- old school), two Jumps (fun, fast tricking) and a Mid-Vent Sea Devil (high end tricking).
  15. I figured out my problem with this, was a whack URL in my bookmarks... No problems since I put the right one in. Troy, you still on WebTV?
  16. It's cool, I love both dearly... It's about flying. I see "Great Lakes" in your signature, any chance you'll be at the Grand Haven MI event May 16-17? Great examples of all things kiting there, the fliers are friendly and accessible for tips and fun.
  17. Oh, and just wait until you try Revolution kites too! <grin>
  18. Hahahahaha... Awesome, felt like I got to fly too, with that play-by-play. <grin>
  19. Rock on Rob, welcome to the party!
  20. Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn. Cool beyond words Watty, absolutely awesome, the footage, the editing AND the flying... Top notch. *proud - so proud*
  21. It shouldn't be missed... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY Makes me weep openly, every bloody time I watch it. Makes me proud of our species, a truly fine moment.
  22. At the field already! Only 1-2 mph now, but it's absolutely beautiful and I expect the wind to build through the day.

    Rev EXP?

    Ken, will probably be out at Portland International Raceway on Sunday if you want to come out, I'll help you give it a quick tune up. If so, call me that morning to be sure I'm there. 503-890-0280
  24. We're looking at possibly flying this weekend, out at West Delta Park... If the weather is good, you can probably find me and Spz0 out there on Sunday.
