One thing that moved me into such a state of "Compassion" for Gregg was that he gave me a reflection into my past and what my life was like before kiting and Kitelife! I was "just living" then, now I have a "Life"...and a very happy one too! (Even my relationship with my wife has improved! heehee!) I think I had taken my joy of kiting, all the kiting people I've come in contact with and my happy life today sort of for granted and Gregg woke me up a little to everything and everyone I'm am so grateful for.
The other thing that he brought to my mind is that, here is a guy that tuned into Kitelife for some reason and joined to be a "Subscribing (paying) Member". The only reason that anyone would do that is because of what he found here (and he didn't need text book knowledge). He found the same thing that I found here when I showed up..."SPIRIT"...Kitelife, John and all the people here have Spirit...The True Spirit of Kiting. Yeah, the continual kite give aways are great and certainly help increase one's interest in joining...and the massive amount of information and videos on kiting is unsurpassed, but it the Spirit and Comradeship between all of us that makes Kitelife what it is and that is what got me onboard! This site has more information on kiting then any place, but it has never become just a text book study on kiting it has "Life"!
So, thanks Gregg and we're glad you are here! And I hope you win! (But, there are limits to my compassion...heehee!! In future contests, you're on your own!! heehee!!)
Keep It Up!

Well said, Duane!!!
