    When making a posting... There is a little empty field a little ways below where you're typing, with a "Browse..." button. Find the file, select it so that the file path is in that little spot... Then post the reply! Uploads have to be within a posting.

    Hey Rick... I've stuck with kite flying for 14 years now because in and of itself, it is after all a neutral and universal past time with nothing to bring but the outdoors, beauty, health and joy. You guys (all of you, even those not here on the forum) helped to raise me into someone I believe in and am very proud of... With little confusion in that. The least I can do is try to continually imbibe the peace we all find in kiting at one time or another into everything you experience in the Kitelife world... Not that mushy stuff, but real practical clarity... One day at a time, one step at a time. Love you all dearly!

    Well, he can fly 3 kites at once...

    Mmmm... Burgers... Yum! There is a possibility we'll have more than just 6 Kitelife regulars and subscribers at WSIKF... Better bring the cow. Is this a good opportunity for a WSIKF roll call?
  5. John Barresi
    I'm taking this opportunity to have a roll call for all Kitelife readers and subscribers who might be attending this year's Washington State International Kite Festival in Long Beach WA, held August 15th-22nd... Let us know! Perhaps a pot luck will be in order?

    UPDATE: Good news gang... Doc Counce, the AKA Regional Director for my area (Region 9) has been kind enough to offer me a ride up to WSIKF, I'll be staying with Troy Gunn and Team TKO at the Super 8 in town... Most likely from the night of August 15th through the 22nd. I am one happy WSIKF virgin, gonna be quite a deflowering. In 14 years of flying in darn near every state in the USA, I've never actually made to WSIKF and I am really looking forward to it!

    I agree! Their only stipulation is around sales of such custom made items... They don't have any problems with people making their own, and there are even a few people that buy the sails from Revolution and then are okay'd to sell them with custom applique.

    I'll be at WSIKF, just secured a ride from Portland with Doc Counce... I'll be staying with Troy Gunn and Team TKO at the Super 8.

    Wow, Rick Talbott and Steve O'Brien on at the same time... I am like, so honored I could pee my pants! I hope to see both of you in Brookings... Or at WSIKF, as it will be my first ever! Cheers and hugs!

    Hehehe... Too cool. What a piece of history! For those that don't know, the FireDart was one of the most popular kites in the early days... And was featured quite heavily in many issues of Stunt Kite Quarterly over the years.

    Hey wait... One of those Revs (red, white, black) is missing the venting along the leading edge, correct? I imagine that makes it kind of wierd on the reverse without being able to dump off the wind?
  13. John Barresi
    Nice pics Serge! I take it one of them made those for their own use? I've never seen those graphics before, almost reminds me of the Decorators!
  14. John Barresi
    Very cool Penny! Definitely good material... I've passed this on to my Assistant Editor, we'll take a look at it for an upcoming issue.
  15. John Barresi
    You and I both Monkey Boy... You and I both.

    Thanks for your patience while we changed server hardware over the last 2-4 hours, we're working on adding more functionality and services to our hosting abilities.
  17. John Barresi
    Two Revs and a camera... I'd pay to see that one Penny. Next in Kitelife: Lingenfelter sprouts a third hand!

    And here are my own babies... Custom Rev I's, soaking up some sun with my Shivas. Note my trademark white, light blue, dark blue and black theme.

    Check this bad boy out... The guy in the pic is Al Stroh from San Diego, he says this one is an original final prototype, complete with certificate of authenticity..
  20. John Barresi
    That would be so sweet... I've seen mini-codys worthy of Sotich's micro world, and they seem to be darn good fliers with tissue and wood. 1/2 ounce fabric or less, carbon wisker stock... Maybe a 1 to 3 foot wingspan? I know I'd like one at some point!
  21. John Barresi
    Hehehe... I knew that Emoticon would come in handy, just didn't expect it so soon.
  22. John Barresi
    And, last but not least...

    Any word on how many Octopus they managed to get up in Wildwood? I know they were trying to break the record... Just curious.
