  1. Nah, i dont really want to hafta deal with 4 lines lol.
  2. Hmmm John, i think im gunna go with cesium. Btw, when I said "Night", I ment net. Lol, i pulled a stupid their so yeah... I think the cesium is it. I like what ive heard about it, the design, and the flexibility with freestyle, but the precision it can have. I dunno, I just think it fits me best.
  3. Ty dorsal, and audio... I just prefer to do it over the night...dont know why. Some crazy fetish I guess lol, so who can tell me about the century 21 kite?I like the kite connection site, I dont see the cesium on their, but I think its between the cesium, and I dunno trying to find another runner. But yeah how about the c21 by level one?
  4. Aight i looked up the Jtm....nice looking kite. The site i found it on doesn't exactly give the retail price of the kite(think its skyburner), whats a good site to order it on. Thats prolly how i would be ordering it, or any kite. So, tell me whats a good site that has like the Jtm, Cesium etc just kites like that...preformace kites
  5. Aight guys thats lovely...try to stay on task here. Like the prism e2....it says its a recreational kite, among with some others on their...does tha tjust mean from beginner, to complete newby?
  6. Hmm sounds good, but can i have the link to the JTM kites? Ill look into both. Thanks for your input. As far as precision goes....if I was gunna get in competitions later on, i would get a new kite absouletley. Again, im not quite sure if precision is what im going for right off the bat. Right off the bat im going for trying just to actually complete the trick!
  7. hmm, ok thanks for your help with the locations. Ill look at each of em. My flying field is actually out by alvadore....if you know where that is, and its nice and flat and windy sometiems so i can check....assuming theirs noone out their. Audio rob, thanks for all your input. I see where your coming from...i mean with all the different types of opinions that people could have, since the question" What is a good beginner stunt kite" yes is very subjective and a very vague question lol. I am not sure what kite though. Ill check out the cutting edge shop when i can, and the kite shop too. Their use to be a kite shop in downtown Florence, but it moved somewhere. The cesium looks like a good kite, but im not sure. Is it a freestyle, or a precision type kite? Or the level one looks good too. Again, i can learn pretty fast, so even if the kite can be a bit more on the intermediate/advanced level, i will be willing to learn to handle it. Thanks for your input, but being a bit more specific, you personally rob what do you think are some good intermediate kites? Ones that should hold up on some bad crashes(if any), and ones that are overall just a good intermediate kite lol. Other please post too on your personal opinions. I will consider and look at them all, considering their close to or under 200$. About like the stall thing, i mean ive pretty much mastered stalls even on my Fast Trac kite. I mean, i can get it into a stall, and control it very well....ofcourse theirs the point eventually where the kite will want to start coming down whatever way, but even then im good with recovery. Ive got all the basic skills down, now i would just like to progress. And my take on it is which was the exact same on my first rc aircraft.... I rather get something that might be a bit harder for me to learn on, but will be capable of many tricks, or in rc case a bit more touchy, but maybe a faster, more manueverable aircraft....then to get a kite which is just right for me now, and then have it not be fast enough etc, or whatever the supreme quality of good trick kites are to suit me.
  8. I was taking your advice, and looking around. I saw another post about a guy asking virtually the same things about the kite. So overall, based on what you know what do you think of the Cesium from L'Atelier? Or, also the e2 looks like it could be for me. One thing about flying is that i get it pretty quickly. I fly rc planes, and I didn't exactly start out with a "trainer", but i learned it fast and now im going good. So i would rather get something that will be a bit more trying, then something that im gunna hafta upgrade again, this is going to be for christmas. So anything under 200 is always applicable!
  9. Hi, first off, i would like to introduce myself. My name is Kevin, I am 15 years old, and live in Eugene Oregon. Anyhow, ill give a brief history of my kite experience. Every labor day weekend, my and my family go stay at driftwood shores hotel, in florence...if you know where that is. Well last time we went... I was in a store and found a stunt kite for like twenty dollars(the Gayla Fast trac) So I flew with that all day 1 day, and sadly the next day we left, theri was no wind. So yes, i can control the kite, do some loops etc. I just have a few questions. I just went today to Florence, trying to fly it and their wasn't enough wind. Whats a good amount of wind to have usually? I mean, if i go to the beach it is usually florence, because we like it their and its close....but the wind is pretty calm sometimes, so its hard for me to work on anything. Ive been looking at prisms site, because they show animated diagrams on how to basic tricks.. I.e the snap stall etc. So, what should i do to really learn? I mean I can't go to the beach all the time, and its never really windy enough here. Also, im not saying that i need a pro kite, but would the Gayla Fast trac which im using be able to help me learn those basic tricks like snap stall etc? Or what would be a good kite? I mean, the controlling the kite part is really easy for me, and so are flips etc....so im not quite sure. Just, basically what should i do to really get started with the sport? Whats maybe a good kite to upgrade to, some good things to work on.... Any good places around florence that usually have sufficient wind? I mean, ive been reading that less wind is better, but i have had little to no wind, and i think i prefer really strong wind to that. Then after i do a roll, or flip or whatever lol my kite does stall out, and me having to pull out all the stops to keep it airborn.... so im just looking for some good info to start off with. If any of you guys are going to be down flying around florence some weekend, let me know. Ill come and watch, and learn a thing for 2 about the sport. Also, any good links for videos on simple tricks? Thanks
