well my #1 favorate festival is comeing as you all know so who is ocomeing out to fly with me?? i cant wait to try the rev gamers this year

site is up and running .. i knew john b wouldnt keep it down for long

cool blast flying.. i gotta get my 3 pack in there for some video work

the downbridles are the 2 white bridles that connect to the top and bottom bridles of the blast.. the help with changeing the pitch of the kite .. some fliers like them .. i dont use them .. youll have to fly it to see if you like them or not .. if not you can remove them

stacking them is eazy .. make 5 lines at 5 feet long with loops on each end youll also want to make pigtails that attach to the kite so you can tie or untie the stack if needed.. for 3 kites youll need 10 stack lines and 20 pigtails.. all of the lines have to be the exact length.. once finished you might have to do some tuneing to it .. let me know if you need any extra help

rob .. while i havent flown that kite yey .. other then mark,s prototype for a short while.. i never use prism bags for my kites . because of that reason .. once i put the LE,S together from the factory i leave it all on .. if the tensioners stretch out .. cut them off and replace them with shock cords .. you can makwe homemade kitebags out of anything like i do.. i have used cloth from all types of stuff .. even old t shirts.. if you have a sewing machine .. makeing kitebags are eazy ill tell you how i do it in 3 eazy steps.. 1.. with the kite folded up measure the length of the put together LE,S and add 2 inches to that length. 2.. cut the metreal untill you can roll it loosely around the kite and have the extra room to close the top... the result should be a big rectangle shape by this point.. 3.. fold the rectangle in half evenly,, and sew the outher edge from end to end.. finally fold one end of the bag over and sew the bottom closed .. then hot cut the top if you dont have the hot cutter then just cut the edge and with a lighter heat the frayed edges.. by this time once the bottom is sewed you see the bags pattern and you can put a kite in it.. to close the top you can use a piece of shock cord or rubber band.. this is a cheap and good way i like to make my own kitebags.. other fliers will have their methods but this is how i do it .. if you get confused on how to do it .. send me a pm..

well i had a blast this weekend with everybody .. thanks to all who let me fly their kites .. kitesquid had the sweet mini ryv 1.6 5 stack that i just couldn,t put it down.. rev flier and those sweet no sew kites.. and dave asworth,s SUL sprit quad.. with so many tallented people in one area it made for a truely great weekend .. me and brad hung out and got lots of flying time in .. those SLK kites hes got are really cool..scott weider got the mega fly going and paul d got the shotcars and i did the drunkin boardwalk night fly with my rev 2 the winds that night were perfect and i was terrorizeing hotels all on the boards .. check out some of the web shots on the rev forum.. it was a blast and i cant wait untill you all come to the wildwoods in a few weeks

if thay do that im turning my blast stack into the mothership

well we do get the humid days here at times.. but other then that my are is wind and water

the best part is that it made the local paper.. i still have the add from 8 years ago

that pull reminds me of my blast stack

well ocean city is haveing their festival fri, sat and sun .. ill be there fri and sat .. who is going to join me there??

if you really want to get a town going .. fly a big delta with lights about 300 feet in a dark field by some neighborhoods like i did a few years back ..man the cops were so thrown off

Dan.. dont forget to that you can always get a 4 wrap if you dont want to double up rods..

what part of nj do you live in??tgheir are a few of us in nj that get together and do weekend flies..

sweet flying with that hellicopter .. i thought at first you had no control of that thing but after a few minutes i started to realize how your were rippin up the skies lol... 2 good starter kites i can suggest is either the b series or the 1.5 .. they are the 2 best kites for control espically for beginners.. seeing how you fly that rc .. getting used to a rev should be eazy for you

hell yea i live and breathe it ... everyday for 20 years...

nice flying man. i enjoyed them very much

well penny im the total oppisite im always trying to find new ways to make my kites better then what thet already are

i remember the mega bite walk therugh back then .. that kite took up half the beach.. and the cool rig that curtis davis made to fly a kite with his mouth..

how about the summer 1994 issue with a few looks of kite water sports..pierre fabre was doing reasearch on that wipcat system.. and of course mel govig doing the 1st buggy blast at ivanpah lake bed in navada.. it just gets better and better .. great year for kites and one of the better issues i liked in the kitelines section

well it will be posted on may 15th so ill have it just in time for wildwood ,s festival ha ha ha

i seen those kites too a while back and reported them to john b .. rev im sure is aware of it.. he will be able to tell you better the i can.. now if you want a good rev power kite the blast or power blast are really nice to have for a hard pulling day of flying

good video there john that weave is sick .. as well as the other move they do when they twist the kites inside that line.. all 6 sit in a line and 3 of the move therugh eachother.. that was cool.. i iquad thinking of any dual line routines??

in time youll know what the kite is doing by feel .. little movements are the key really.. you have to just relax and lose yourself in the flying .. most new fliers that i ve seen always worry abouth crashing and get to tence .. with that it causes you to handle the kite like a mad man and all control is lost .. just remember take your time with every move .. a good rule is to do on move at a time .. it gets annoying after a while but at that point you ll have it glued in your head..
