RobB Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 How does one locate his or her subscriber ID? I'm sure JB will be along soon to fill you in on that info... I don't know if that information is available on the website anymore, maybe it is in your welcome email ? Good luck in the draw & welcome to the forum ! ~Rob. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted February 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 How does one locate his or her subscriber ID? Mr. Bailey, your lady luck should favor #1052. Sorry for this inane step, but the subscription process (forum and PayPal) does not have a function to assign and distribute subscription numbers, so I generally update the master records once a week and look up sub #'s upon request. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobB Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Yup, this would be a great way to convert a die-hard dual liner to the dark side... I like to think of it more as wrenching a poor soul from the depths of the shadows into the beautiful light of day. Yup, dual line is a tough road to travel... lots of frustrations along the way. But that's what makes it so worth it in the long run. I've been recently dabbling in the 4 line discipline, kind of liking it, but only in higher winds. This set would be what I would need to forget my duals at home for a while... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John, didn't this information used to be available in either the member profile or the master member list ? Just wondering... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted February 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Neither - we've gone through a couple stages of "# display", wherein members had a signature graphic I gave them in their signature or a number I manually added to their profile, but these days folks usually just include it as text in their signature like Tmadz has done in the first post on this page. The main issue is that I don't want to administrate every addition and removal of such an item... Until it can all be automated, it's got to be member-managed.

Let the drooling and banter begin! I don't want to be a spoil sport by any means, and I know that you guys are the best in the world at flying these kites, but rule number 1 that has always been beaten into my brain is to not fly kites near power lines. Those last 2 videos really don't set the best example for following that rule. Just sayin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted February 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 I didn't plan on uploading any more footage from there, for that reason exactly. FYI - that's actually my nearest practice field, just 2 blocks from my house. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobB Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 The whole thing about flying by power lines is more critical when you're flying a single line kite with little control and a variable amount of line. With a sport kite, the line lengths are fixed, and the pilot usually has a really good idea what's within the immediate range of the kite. Error on the side of caution, but I don't think John was in any immediate danger in the videos... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkieRob Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 The only danger in those videos is the danger of a complete addiction to B2's! 977 RNG is your listening... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
