RobB Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Hey there... I thought I would share a little flying from my local spot with everyone. The kite is a Sky Sport Design Fearless Tattoo. One of my favorite low wind kites, I'm just starting to click with it after trying for a year. ~Rob. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobB Posted November 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Very enjoyable video Rob, great music, thanks for posting. Hey John... Thanks for watching... glad you enjoyed. You know where I started, and your advice & encouragement helped a great deal for me to get to where I am now. Learning on your own is a slow, frustrating process at times, but watching videos like your Sea Devil demo provide the light at the end of the tunnel. You know, I watched that video, and ran right out to buy a Sea Devil. I was so disappointed that mine didn't fly just like yours the first day I flew it ! Well, here's another Fearless video for anyone who has time to watch & listen. It's the vented light version of the Fearless in ~10mph of wind. ~Rob. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Again, very fun. I love to fly, to hear it motivates folks like yourself is icing on the cake. <grin> Keep on rocking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airhead Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Rob, I found your videos on YouTube today and immediately thought you would have posted them here-- I was right. I was watching a video of tricks and saw a user named "Must86" and knew it had to be you. I've been checking out your tricks and kites and eyeing your locations for flying, which I think I realized after watching a few videos. I said to myself "HEEEY! I think I know where that is!" haha You pull off some pretty cool tricks in succession and your flying is really smooth. I've been studying your videos. Keep it up!

RobB Posted August 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 OK, Airhead... Here's my latest kite, all the way from Sweden ! The kite is a work of art, and tricky as H3LL ! You've been out to Cedar Beach ? Not a world class beach by any stretch, but the wind is. East, West, North wind is unobstructed, and the South wind isn't bad, either... Give me a holler when you're needing a break from classes, I'll bring a bag of kites ! ~Rob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airhead Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 I saw that video. That kite looks awesome. I went to Cedar Beach with a friend on a day when we had nothing to do. It's the only beach I've seen that's bare and that very few people go to-- a true gem for kite flyers. I can understand why few people go there, though. It's rocky. This semester will be brutal, but I'll give you a heads up if I'm free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobB Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Well, that's the North Shore for you... if you don't like a rocky beach, get in you car and spend an hour on the road to get to a crowded South Shore beach... oh, and spend $10-$25 to park... 8) I won't have much time in the next few months, either, as my 3rd child was born on Monday, but you can expect to see me out there for a few hours on Sunday mornings, as long as it's not raining too hard ! ~Rob.

John Barresi Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Great vid Rob! One suggestion though, I'd try to change the camera angle or setting periodically on videos over 3 minutes in length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobB Posted August 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Yeah, John, I know it's a little long and I should've left more on the cutting room floor. That's why I tried to choose some fun music to listen to. As far as camera angle... well, I wish I had someone to take the video that knew more about videography than Mr. Tripod ! It would probably also help if I could learn some more tricks ! ~Rob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Dowler Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Nothing wrong with those tricks!!!! Yeah you could change some stuff, but what a great show!!! Keep on!!! ( and that's an order)!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobB Posted March 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Glad you enjoyed those, JP. I fly every Sunday at a local beach, but could meet you somewhere in between if you're interested. The best time to fly is in between Labor Day & Memorial Day. It gets tough during the summer with more people at the beach & admission charged at the beach (some beaches out here are up to $50 for a day pass...) Come down to Wildwood on Memorial day, and you'll get to hang out with all the hard-core kite-heads... http://kite.org/activities/events/event-calendar/ I am so excited for WW this year, it's been a couple of years since I've been there, and it's a great time. I've got my place down there from Thursday-Sunday. Bringing the whole family & our friends ! I think John's going to be there, how many others ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobB Posted March 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 I always go back to this simple trick that is so hard to master... the Side Slide. It's really easy on a four line kite, but on two lines... a real challenge of your control. This is the first trick I learned, and I'm still trying to get it right. Anyone else enjoy the Side Slide ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Dowler Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Yes! And you're right in the difficulty factor! Mark Reed even says that it is the move to learn with the initial stall first, then slide!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyPuppets LimitVoodoo Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 I love LOVE the side slide on a dualie! I could (and did) literally practice for hours on end... On the Rev, my equivalent is the upright slide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joespickles Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Tried that , Not a skill I have attained yet. I love the way it looks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 I love side slides too, great fundamental skill... Nicely done Rob, very smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
