    Finally finished this one. Turned out pretty good. The hexcam fabric and webbing is a little busy, probably do the next one with black webbing. Learned a few new techniques, but I still can't edge bind corners and have both sides match. Probably a patience problem.

  3. @DTill I hope your beautiful pinstripe kite bag has gear for it.

    That bag was traded for a Super Blast R/W/B. That bag is now in New Hampshire, with an old competition flyer who remembers "Young John". I've built a few bags since then, will probably be bringing a standard and full vent Djinn , a homemade mesh and a set of northern lights . I should be good to go.

  4. The B2 is a 72 inch leading edge kite. Much smaller than a 1.5 sized sail. It's the quad version of of a Prism Micron. Very fast, twitchy and fun. Not for beginners. John makes it look easy, it's not. Cool kite, not a second kite more like a 5th.

    Anyone have a mountain board sitting in the garage? I'm a snow /skate boarder. So Looking for a fairly nice one. MBS Core 94 or nicer.  Just picked up a power blast 2-4 and looking into land boarding . I could trade one of my custom kite bags for it. https://www.mbs.com/boards/10201-mbs-core-94-mountainboard-axe

  6. I've been using the tape from Fly market with no problems. I was going to order some through Into the Wind because it's cheaper. Don't want to trash any vendors on here, but where did you get the problematic tape?

    Remember the difference between an amateur and a professional: the amateur only practices until they can get it right; the professional practices until they cannot do it wrong

    I tend to do the travailing bicycle as a rotate tip stab, a rotate tip stab. Then a catch and throw . I"m rank amateur. But if you tap it down with authority you look like a pro.

    You should come to Lincoln Summer Fest. Tons of friendly flyers. I've met many great people here. There's a festival south of the festival. All the people that show up for the show put on their own show. Your not that far away. SLC to PDX + a 2 hour drive.
