  1. Nah, I got my Cody a couple weeks ago... I've just been on the road for the last 5 weekends in a row, haven't had the presence of mind to say anything. Thanks a bunch Rick, even if the kite is PINK.
  2. I think there are fliers who go to Jones Beach, I've also flown at the Mitchell Field sports complex in Uniondale (Long Island)... I would recommend you also post your question here (more NY fliers reading): http://gwtw-kites.com/forum/default.asp
  3. Thanks guys, much love to you... Thanks for being a part of MY kite life.
  4. Thanks guys... I'm actually in New Mexico at yet another kite festival. Jones, I had no idea you were a June 1st baby too!
  5. All is well indeed... Thanks. Have two radio interviews tomorrow, probably warm up on the field... Then we put on the show Saturday and Sunday.
  6. Yep, it's my 30th birthday... Half of those spent in kiting. Just wanted to send best wishes to ALL OF YOU, and invite you to celebrate my birthday by going and flying your favorite kite... I'll be doing the same in New Mexico over the next week or so. May the higher power be with you.
  7. Alas, I don't have the hot tricks on video... But, we should be seeing my Masters Ballet routine soon (shot by Castor from Indiana). I leave in the morning for New Mexico... Just enough time to laundry before getting on another plane.
  8. All is well... Lam and his wife are both here, but I doubt they can keep me out of trouble.
  9. Sitting in PDX right now, using their free wifi... Flight is at 6:03 am, through Denver to Baltimore... Arriving in Wildwood early Thursday morning.

  16. Welcome back to the scene Mike... I have no doubt your Mirage kites will turn more than a few heads as one of the funnest and most unique kites in history.
  17. Trlby should know how to reach Rick... I just emailed you Kerry's last known email, and CC'd it to Brian.
  18. Hi gang, Just dropping a note to let you all know that we'll be doing daily updates from the East Coast Stunt Kite Championships and International Kite Festival in Wildwood NJ from May 27th through the 30th! For those not attending, it's the next best thing to being there... We'll post news, highlights, photos and results after each day. We'll also be doing the same for World Sport Kite Championships, but we'll get into that later.
  19. Yup, kiteaddiction.com went under... As far as I know, Bob and Danielle have not put up a new web page yet. Do let us know if you find a new URL!
  20. Here is all the videos we have of Sue... Truly beautiful flying. http://www.kitelife.com/videos/mib/suetaft_ecskc1987mib.htm http://www.kitelife.com/videos/mib/suetaft...c1989oib5th.htm http://www.kitelife.com/videos/demo/glskc1...ft_dogstake.htm The third one is my personal favorite.
  21. For those who haven't heard, Sue Sedgwick (aka Taft) passed away at 8pm EST last night... One of our earliest pioneers, a beautiful performer, and lovely human, she will be dearly missed. When I first started flying way back in 1990, she was one of the first master fliers that I got to watch... Both her and Lee have been a source of inspiration ever since. Any and all who knew Sue should be encouraged to share some words about her for inclusion with a memorium article in the nnext issue.
