    Late night=late start this morning. Winds 4 mph. Before taking metro all the way downtown I'm gonna wait and see if the winds pick up a bit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Makatakan, good point. Although I have spent much time trying in low winds, Any practice is better than none at all. I'll be there regardless and if winds don't show I'll do some maintenance as you mentioned. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Good question ACrop. I work late nights so I should clarify that early morning to me is 9-10 AM. LOL. I plan on being there around that time unless the winds are low. If it looks like the winds will pick up later in the day I may delay to afternoon. I'll make that call as I wake up. I will post as soon as I get up. I'm still new at this so I'm really bad with low winds and would hate to head down there and not be able to practice. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I have an unexpected day off on Tuesday Oct 4 and the winds look like they may be in my favor for once so I'm heading down to the Washington Monument in the early morning to try and get some time on the lines. Need a break from that meeting? You on vacation and tired of the tourist bit? Stop by the old dead tree next to the monument and do a little flying or just say hey. Here's to hoping the wind cooperates. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    No sweat John. I did figure a way to make it work. I loaded them onto my mac. They were mkv files which I converted to MP4 then into iTunes then synced onto phone for easy viewing while on the go. I'm sure there's an easier way but that's how I made it work. Thanks brother.

    I ended up getting one of these and was able to fit 2 kites and extra frames no problem. Flew to England and France and back to the states without any issues to carry this on all flights with me. No problems with security anywhere. Was asked a couple times what Was in there and when I told them kites all I got were smiles back. Stored in overhead on planes.

    Thanks for the reminder about the tutorials. It's telling me that I am no longer a subscriber. I think I subscribed last sept. But I did load a few of those videos onto my phone last year. Just watched the one on the bicycle rotation. I have to admit when I first watched it last yr none of it made any sense but after more time on the lines this past yr it makes a lot more sense now. Thanks again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Plus I'm nervous about the spins I just started doing. Seems I can only spin real fast. Not sure why but I can't figure out how to slow the spins down. Plus I can't keep them level, I spin but it spirals downward and eventually into the ground as shown in the end of the clip. Btw,John,Wayne greatly appreciate the time your taking with this amateur.

    I put this clip up knowing I could learn from the veteran flyers, the feedback is great. I see what you mean about my arms flapping around. Bad form. Although I know not to move arms/hands up down or sideways once in a while when I get in a panic spot the reflex is to try and bring the kite up with arms up.working on that.

    Trying to figure out what I did wrong here. Felt like all the wind just got sucked right out of the sail and it just dropped right in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Really tho, I did NOT learn my lesson Did the same thing the next day only that time the next wave dragged the kite INTO the ocean and had a hell of a time pulling it out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Here is a quick little clip of me learning an important lesson. " don't try tricks you haven't perfected while hovering over crashing waves."

    I am flying to Europe this summer and would like to avoid checking any bags. (Carry-on only) I have a travel frame which will be no problem but I am looking to buy a new rev that will come with the normal size frames. Will I have any problems bringing a kite bag onto the plane or will they make me check it because it's too long? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. FranckPG
    Wayne thank you for the idea, however It would be much easier and safer for me to just buy a back up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Broke a piece of my travel frame and would like to buy a new frame for my EXP. Looking for a 2wrap or lighter. Travel size would be great if there is such a thing however I do need a back up. The travel frame did come with extra pieces but I better get a backup before I break anymore. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
