  1. I lost my count how many times I have watch that video ... at least 10 times ... that is one of the best quality and best viewing video of a dual line stunt kite ... no fish-eye len, no go pro, no earthquaking, no zoom in and out ... very pleasant to watch ... just simple and elegant ... Well-Done !!! p.s. it would be nice to know what camcorder did he used with.
  2. now that got me interesting what you wrote ... thanks for the useful tip I am gonna do the nose leading toward to me trick ... because flying it normal as is in light wind makes me somewhat a huge battle on the handles position to keep the kite steady-ier. isn't it the same thing to adjusting the lines at top/bottom handles ? if not, then explain, please oh, by the way, i finally catch my Thunder ( rev b ) after yank the top lines and throw it back to air flying again 5 times in a row, after like 50 yank tries today ... it's required how much yank to make the kite nose forward just right ... approx 22 ft lines
  3. that reminds me of and sounds like Rodney Mullen (link) ... the last 2 paragraphs

  17. Product Description The Echo's easy, floating flight will increase your flying time outdoors and have you flying indoors in no time. Increasingly popular, indoor flying makes you really feel one with the kite; the lines become extensions of your arms. Well balanced for flat spins, Paul de Bakkers's Echo is graceful yet agile. The stiff .125" carbon tubes help the kite hold its shape outdoors in light winds and make indoor throw and catch maneuvers easier. Outdoors, it flies effortlessly, even in 0 to 1 mph winds and still performs all of the basic and advanced tricks. Made of .6-oz. Icarex polyester with carbon spars. 6'-0" x 2'-11". 51/29" case. Use 50-lb. Spectra or Dyneema line. Paul recommends 12-14' lines indoors and 25-35' outdoors. Product Specifications Skill Level: Intermediate Minimum Wind Speed: 0 Maximum Wind Speed: 7 Very interesting ... and the price is good ...
  18. I would love to buy it, if it was non-vented rev b, because I already have mid-vented rev b which is my first rev kite I bought. It's possible to trade my regular Rev 1 set plus green racing (2nd) frame set for it, but I am not ready to give my Rev 1 up yet, because I am still practicing it with patience and compassion ... I love my Rev 1, but it doesn't love me completely yet ...
  19. Found the video ... it's very nice
  20. Kite and sleeve only ? What's the dimensions ? ... Maybe my uncle may be interesting in it ... it would be great if it has all the details without questioning to make it easier to sell and faster ... good luck.
