Quad Mega Fly Workshop (Mar 24-25, 2018)
John Barresi replied to John Barresi's topic in Scheduled Events
4 spots filled, we're at 6 pilots already counting the instructors. -
Join us for two full days of quad mega fly activity and instruction with John Barresi (Team KiteLife) and Scott Weider (Rev Riders) in Long Beach WA including shoulder to shoulder team maneuvers, overall team awareness and technique relevant to mega flies as well as 4x4 GRID FLYING if we’re able to gather at least 16 pilots (including our two instructors), this is a chance to really hone your skills for mega flies at upcoming events such as WSIKF. There are 23 spaces available, allowing for as many as 25 total pilots including the two instructors to make a grid of 5x5! We start at 10am on Saturday morning with general roundtable discussion and orientation about participating in and managing quad mega flies, moving very quickly into what should be nearly non-stop mega flying for two straight days (end at 4pm each day) and of course, there will be remedial assistance for pilots who need it. NOTE: There will be opportunities to not only be part of these team exercises, but also to actually LEAD (with help and support) if you'd like to expand your skills even further. Registration fee is $125 per person ($100 for KiteLife Subscribers) and includes TWO FULL DAYS.
