  1. It was great to meet you. Can't wait to tangle lines again! Maybe by then I will be able to fly a dual
  2. It has the JB dragon logo and says JB and ECKFC
  3. What a weekend! Amazing people and pilots.... John is simply an amazing teacher and person! Can't wait to do it again....
  4. I like that one. For a little tweak you could put JB's logo just below the bottom apex of the rev. The front is even more interesting....
  5. Got my first taste today. could not get a comfortable position on the grips...with some adjustments to become comfortable, I can see it being a blast indeed. I still had great fun hanging on! Also got to see Terry Rankin give it the run around on the beach today.
  6. Chilly today..but a full vent kind of day...
  7. They said "Go west"......

  8. There is 1 more you will see in a few days but ya me too.....
  9. I have been a beach bum most of my life and worked outdoors in Florida. Not until recently do I try to take care. All of the above are put into use. Mostly the hat , sunscreen, and uv based materials. Just got a buff, it will get a good workout in a few days .......don't forget the eyes with quality shades!
  10. I need to work on that forward flight move myself
  11. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=549510178463473&set=a.313931022021391.72763.128008340613661&type=1&theater Bring your shorts and sunscreen...it's warming up!
  12. Im in ,.....here is mine that Captain so graciously passed my way on our first meeting...
  13. Mr. Dave Shenkman is still going above and beyond for my needs and have had no reason to go elsewhere as of yet. http://www.kiteconnection.com
  14. Guess I will throw an idea hint out there for someone...... One of my original thoughts for a 2 sided shirt is actually posted in the first post and could be copy and pasted directly for the design with no modifications other than maybe color. In my thoughts it would be the front of the shirt , with the back consisting of more details from the same post. I have not mentioned this one to even John. SO we will see if someone gets it....
  15. Thanks for all the suggestions..I originally was thinking of a smaller handle to reduce my inputs in the strong stuff. I have taken the advice and backed my grip down my regular sized everyday handles. This helped a good bit, but will take some getting used too...not a real comfortable position for me. I think next try... I will set up 2 sets of lines and handles for immediate swap and side by side comparison. I tried multiple sized handles in the beginning when my skills were not as good as now..but it was just more stuff to carry on everyday sessions and more stuff to try and get used to.... maybe it is just time to try it again As far as hand position...this is constantly changing for me...I started paying attention with these issues. I have heard it described here before...depending on desired movement ...the handle grip goes up and down in the arches of my fingers , to sometimes a full grip with thumbs up top.
  16. He will work it off either way next week at the clinic
  17. Congrats my friend! Guess we will have to subtract some lines from our next get together
  18. Nice way to start! Looks Good and got the ideas flowing
  19. Good luck everyone! 2 lines still not pulling me hard enough but i know the time will come!
  20. No idea....is a bad idea, As John stated , it can be "cleaned up" in the later stages. This is all about ideas and being creative. So throw your thoughts out there. Everything in life starts from 1 simple thought. I work on turkey day...I will whip up something and submit it to get the juices flowing.....just to prove ANYONE and ANY IDEA is good. Maybe even submit your concept as a rough sketch to secure your idea? It can be improved upon and a final entry can be submitted before the end date. This is about everyone here...so any feedback will be taken into consideration to improve upon possible "future" concept drawing challenges Now where is that smiley holding a http://www.johnbarresi.com sign?
  21. Rev fliers everywhere want to know #gotwhump ?

  22. Don't know how all the #ing works. Will need help on that end. BUT #gotwhump on instagram and Facebook started....post your favorite whump photos and share Entry designs and drawings should still be posted within this thread for review.
  23. The original post has been tweaked a bit after an hour nap on 24 hours up and going Be sure to take a gander and skim it over again...Thanks
