SHBKF Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 The kite seems alive, an entity all it's own. Just getting to the point with Revs where I can do playful things as I fly. After pasting the beach trash can a few times, then dipping in & out of the top, a lady walked by & said, "Are you starting to figure it out?" She has "Know Eye Deer" of what the little kite can really do. Actually me & that trash can go back a long way. My wife did a screaming full speed lawn dart into it many years ago. After we put the kite back together she said "Want to see me do that again?" We're still laughing about that great day. A life with kites, love em. Thanks for the inspiration. Waiting for more.

NWkiteluv Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 What a fun and playful video! I really like that song and location too. It makes me excited for next summer and getting to fly my kites on some road trips! Well done! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flynhi Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 That kite looked so relaxed laying on the net. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Dowler Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 That kite looked so relaxed laying on the net. Mostly because the flier is!! I like to think the kite mimics the flier's emotions as it does it's thing! I watched some of my old indoor videos and I can see myself nervous and unsure. But I fought through that phase to be much better at it now! Even in indoor - there's nothing to replace - Time On The Lines!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobB Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Yeah, that Painted Desert video really kicked it !

SHBKF Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Ah, roadside flyin', one of my favorite things. I now find myself flying thirty foot lines more and more. The kite is up close, the window is small and so unforgiving. But it fits my style somehow and is teaching me much. I would have never considered short lines without seeing what others do with them. Flew a eight foot dualie on five meter lines yesterday, what a rush! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reef Runner Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Another great video, as usual ! Looked like the wind was really kicking, for a while. Can't believe you missed that last "catch"............... (just kidding, you know) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted November 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Technically I didn't miss, it was just ugly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reef Runner Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Technically I didn't miss, it was just ugly. Technically, I suppose you are correct..........but with a capital "U".

basicbill Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Probably my favorite so far. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makatakam Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Technically I didn't miss, it was just ugly. I remember you saying you would end that session with a "near miss", so it was done with intent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
