That's a very long drumroll!

I have been really wanting to get 1.5B mid vent, can barely stop myself from getting one, maybe this is my chance

Wow! amazing precision! I think this is my new favourite video

Hi again! I'm making a little progress every time I go flying but no matter how much I try I can't fly in reverse (unless I'm going from the top of the window down letting gravity do it's thing). When I try to go in reverse I hover and then slowly add more and more brake until one of the wings flip. What am I doing wrong? BTW the dark side is addicting

I found this: http://www.thekiteshoppe.com/categories/Kite-Line/Spools-%26-Bulk-Kite-Line/Laser-Pro-Bridle-Line/ Which bridle line should I get for extending my leaders? Any recommended site for purchasing bridle lines? Thanks for all the tips & help!

Waaa! Went to the beach to fly my kite for the 3rd time today, the last two times weren't so successful as the wind was very weak. Today the wind was 8-10mph I was able to fly for about 2 hours, finally! This was awesome. I started by trying to fly from the ground to the top of the window and back which went surprisingly well, then I start trying upright hovers and flying figure 8 which was a great fun. I was able to do some sideways hovers but not for very long and very wobbly. Didn't even try upside down hovers Now to the questions: 1) When flying across the window at high speed I can hear a flattering sound from the sail, is this normal? 2) How do you get all the sand our from the leading edge? 3) I started with my lines attached to the middle knot in the handles and kept adding more brake (moving the lines to knots that are farther away from the handles) until I got to the last knot which was still very easy to fly, does this make sense? shouldn't it be difficult to fly with so much brake? or is it because of the strong wind? It still felt like the kite has a lot of "drive" 4) I used 2 wrap rods, are they strong enough for this kind of wind? should I fly with the race rods next time? (I found out I'm not using the race rods only after I finished flying) 5) Any recommendations for things I can practice or should I just keep with the basic upright hovers and the regular stop & go around the window until I feel comfortable - thinking of something along the line of "Dodd's 6 step method" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbxWySL5MRk) I'm sure I have many more questions I can't recall right now so apologies in advance for not putting them all together Can't wait to go flying again tomorrow!

Wow thanks for all the great replies. Today I finally got my new Rev, it looks awesome - never seen a rev in person before Went to a nearby park but couldn't really fly for more then few seconds because there was not enough wind, in the few guests I was able to take off I managed to get to the top of the window and then crashed all the way down. I was trying really hard to keep my wrists together but it's possible I let some 2 line instincts kick in... I think I need to buy handcuffs I will try the beach tomorrow and report back BTW I got two frames with my kite, "2 Wrap professional use only" and the race rods, which one should be better for light wind?

Just interested in what would be your pick if you had to choose one video online to show what the revolution is all about to someone who has never seen a rev kite.

Would love to know mine. Thanks!

Hi everybody, I have been flying 2 line kites on and off for the past 5 years and always been eyeing 4 line kits. Since I ordered my kite I have been reading and watching everything I could find online, probably watched every video by JB at least once while constantly refreshing the USPS package tracking website. Some questions: I ordered a Revolution B series std, I'm still not sure this was wise as the mid vent might have been a better choice? The wind conditions here keep changing so I was hoping the std will allow me to fly better on those days with nearly no wind. I upgraded to Race frame, I understand its lighter and more flexible but is it as strong as 3 wrap frame that originally comes with the kite? And one last question: I noticed that the posting to the forums has been on decline for the past 2 years, I really hope I'm missing something and that kite flying interest around the world isn't in decline... Thanks in advance for the help
