    Great photos Bill!

    Of course Ben, everything comes down to personal style and taste. That bit about the mylar is what I've found in my own experiences, and most of the competitive fliers I've spoken with about it.

    I've done up to six on the Sea Devil without a roll bar or cage... 23 on the Deep Space, which has roll bars. Lucky, to help narrow it down... What kind of budget do you have in mind?
  4. John Barresi
    Cool, keep us posted if you're up for it.

    Okay gang, just added six indoor demos from the 2006 Lincoln City Indoor Festival in Oregon, and two demos from the 2006 World Sport Kite Championships in France... Some good stuff in here! http://www.kitelife.com/videos/demos.htm#2006 More to come, we're getting into the video season now.

    For the record, as adult fliers... I think Steve and I both find the idea funny. However, indeed... Kiting is a family oriented pastime, and we try our best to make it accessible to all ages. Have you looked through the Kitelife shirts? http://www.cafepress.com/kitelife

    Hi Blackbeard... Inland flying is a bit tougher, but not a total obstacle. You're trying to learn "tricks" as in slack line tricks? If so, have you checked out RandyG's videos? Look along the right side of this page... http://spaces.msn.com/sportkiteflyer/

    No problem... Aside from the delay. I've known Corey for 15+ years, and he will take care of this.

    Check with www.thekiteshoppe.com, they should be familiar with costs for delivery to France.

    A tremendous loss... Not only to kiting, but to those who knew and loved him. Sam was an amazing man, and so good of heart... One of the finest I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. Tonight, (another) glass for Sam... And this weekend, a kite in the air.

    When was his last attempt? Did he succeed?

    *UPDATING THIS POST AS THINGS DEVELOP* Up to $1,595... Thanks to $40 on Belassis' kite on GWTW, $350 so far on the custom CA Wasp, and final bid of $420 on my custom Rev I. In the interest of being able to provide a richer, more comprehensive variety of multimedia from events (videos, animations, photos, etc), we've placed an order through Dell which comes out to $2,250.00 and gives us everything we need to do the job right. What a show of generosity and appreciation!

    I'd go for the latter... I'll see your cup, and raise you an espresso.
  20. John Barresi
    Handles are in short supply for me... I have 2 extended sets, total. You're on your own for that... But they're easy to get. If they're being ordered from Rev, ask for: "The new 1.5 handles, which used to be SUL Rev I handles." They just made this change, recently.

    Forgot to mention, gotta wait until tomorrow to view those two videos... Our video server went over 13GB of bandwidth yesterday, and resets in the morning. Thanks for your patience.
  22. John Barresi
    I always love to refer to these videos, great representation of the two kites: Rev I - http://kitevideo.net/johnbarresi_com/jb-promo05_revplay.wmv (31.74MB) Rev 1.5 - http://kitevideo.net/video_files/mqb/aka02...jado_1stMQB.wmv (13.8MB) You'll see the difference in style fairly well.

    Don't push it monkey man.

    Alright, 2-wrap or 4-wrap... Winner's choice. Give me a day to get things together... I'll make a separate post officially opening the auction tomorrow. It will be a $150 opening bid, with $10 minimum increases... No 1 dollar raises, to save everyone's time. I've never let one of these babies go before, and I want to do it right. Keep an eye out for news sometime tomorrow.
  25. John Barresi
    Yowtch, I stand corrected Rob... Didn't know you'd run into that on the 1.5 too. However, it is the first I've heard of it. Simple solution really... Just get the all ripstop model, as god intended it to be.
