Re: Cost Breakdown of Kite Package - Online Only vs Shop

Local shops should demo gear for a price and then discount that price if a person buys the gear. I know if I demo gear from my local shop that I better support them for supporting me. That would be really crappy for me to go and demo someones gear and then head out and buy it online while giving the...

Re: Reel Leesh

Dude, your from India! Just toss your woman a piece of chicken, some curry, and tell her to behave like she is supposed! Or just teach her how to body drag, but don't let her kill herself with a leash.

Re: Which is better: Slingshot 2009 RPM vs. Slingshot 2010 R

09 and 10 RPMs are the same kite with just different bars. 2011 is also the same but has the split strut design but the kite flies the same. They are all great so go with the best deal you can get!

Re: Slingshot Rally

About your leading edge collapsing. My Rev did that only when under heavy load like a kite loop. Pretty much every time. Really scary to see. Tried everything but it ended up that the center 2 bridel points on each side were a bit slack when really under load. I fixed this by lengthening the 3rd br...

Re: Slingshot Rally

Has anyone had problems with the rally's leading edge loosing it's shape when doing powered moves? I did a demo of a 14 meter when I was down in hatteras last week and every time I sent it through the window on a loop or transition, the leading edge would collapse between the bridal attachment point...

Re: Catchin Air - Discovery Theater HDTV / Jan 06, 9:00 pm

I completely agree with geopeck! I was on the beach when Sean and the the rest of the crew showed up in homer. They ended up using my land board for a few shot on the beach there before they headed over to windy bay, or not so windy bay. The show did a horrible job showing the stoke of Sean and Andy...

What mountainboards are best for kiting?

I live in the midwest and winter isn't coming fast enough. Seems like I would get a lot of use out of a landboard and was going to pick one up. I have done some looking around and it looks like MBS and Ground Industries are the biggest names out there. Does anyone have any good info on what boards I...

Re: 40 kt + Squall vs. 11 m Crossbow

I think Darkaunman was being ironic/sarcastic, along with some other posters in the thread. Don't feed the trolls 8) Here are some facts: -Dumb people sometimes die doing dumb things. Flying any 11m in 40-50 kt squalls just to see what happens is dumb and if they die doing it then they died because...

Re: 40 kt + Squall vs. 11 m Crossbow

I don't think Rickl is pimping right here. He is just giving helpful information about good products. I am looking at getting a new kite and I need a kite that can handle squalls like this one. I ride in the midwest and we have squalls all of the time. If I am out on the water and can't get back in ...
