  1. You could kick "fly with intent" vertically on the right side of the kite translations and remove possible confusion.
  2. Ahhhhh, this is more like it. Welcome back Karma Drawings. I missed you.
  3. Kitelife logo across the shoulders in the back. Website on the bottom of the back (you don't tuck in your shirt so it would still show). JB logo on the left upper arm. Something clever like "WHUMP" written in a fancy script across the chest.
  4. Glitch, get a mid vent and a set of stacking lines and fly a progressive vent stack with those 150# lines. That's what I would do.
  5. http://kitelife.com/forum/gallery/image/5171-gettin-rowdy/
  6. So is the situation that a batch of pros got a non Bazzer leading edge without customers being told? I've tried to follow the fb posts, but nothing was really clearly explained
  7. Greg, I, like Ralph, deal with trees and hills in East Tennessee. I'll tell you my secret. Vacations to the beach and waiting for the leaves to fall off the trees in the fall. Seriously, though, get a Rev that is set up for light wind flying and short lines. It will take time. It will be frustrating. You will want to break it and throw it away. I will promise you though, that if you stick with it, and get to where you are decent in choppy,tree and hill, swirly winds, when you get to an open spot with clean winds and room to roam, you will make the flat landed, beach flyers look like amateurs.
  8. Josh, I want to extend my personal thanks to you for agreeing to extend the drawing deadline. By rights this prize should be yours since you were the only entrant at the time of the original deadline. You chose to put the good of the whole above your own personal gain. That is the kind of thing for which the karma drawing was made.
  9. I'm adding $10 to the original $25 prize. I'll help you get your new drawing posted. Congratulations!
  10. All, I have had a discussion with Tmadz and jeepinjeepin, and due to the lack of participation in this drawing thus far the drawing date is being extended to October 3rd. If we do not get sufficient participation by that point I will be discussing with JB the possibility of shelving the karma drawings at least temporarily. Barton
  11. Great prize! I'm going to add a little spice though, Todd, if you don't mind. Participation seems to have waned a bit of late. So for every 3 people who get "In" on this drawing, I will add $5 of my own money to the gift certificate up to $25 additional dollars. 15 people means you get a chance at $50 instead of $25. Spread the word, folks. This is a really great thing we have going here. -B
  12. Todd's drawing is posted. I'm locking this one down. Thank you everyone!
  13. Congrats, Todd! A couple of days is completely reasonable. If you need help with your post, when you're ready, give me a shout. Well done, Josh. Thanks for the great prize.
  14. Thank you, Nick for offering the great prize. I will say again, there was nothing wrong with this prize and no reason for you to feel you need to offer something better WHEN you win again. There's a lot going on during the summer and traffic to the website is typically down a bit. The karma will continue to roll. Congratulations, Josh on your win. I'm locking this one down. Josh's drawing is posted. It is as predicted and pretty good. -B
  15. Fred this isn't an automatic entry drawing. If you want to be entered you need to post "I'm in" and be willing to host the next drawing. -B
  16. The summer doldrums are upon us, gentlemen. Things take a bit of time to get up some speed. People aren't on a frequently (they're out flying), and it doesn't go as fast as December. There is nothing wrong with the prize, Nick. I would be in if I didn't already have 2 different anemometers. Just give it time.
  17. Lucky Nick has posted his drawing. Thank you, Josh, for offering this excellent prize. Thank you everyone for keeping the Karma alive. I'm locking this one down. So the banter continues over on Nick's. Everyone get "In", since Nick's hosting the drawing he can't enter and win. We all have a chance. -B
  18. Like I said. When the luckiest man on KiteLife gets in, no one else should bother. Congratulations, Nick. If you're ever in my neighborhood and the winds get up, we can fly our matched pair of karma microns. http://kitelife.com/forum/topic/5442-karma-71713-new-kite-pics-to-come/
  19. I don't know why anyone bothered to enter after Nick.
  20. Are the black panels a single piece of ripstop? If so, that would fly more like a single skin Rev than an EXP. Probably great in low wind with a lighter frame.
