Very good comparaison between the Infinity and the Racer. And that is exactly my experience with theses two kites. I just want to add that for a beginner, the Infinity is a much better choice because it is more stable, much easier to relaunch and will not fly over you in LW when you don't move the kite like the Racer. But for intermediate riders that want to go fast and upwind either for freeride or real racing situation the Racer is an incredible kite. I was also very impressed with it this winter in snowkite races to a point where I am seriously considering it now. I think that combine with my raceboard it will be a great LW tool! And when the wind is higher this kite jump really well with nice float.

Hello Mr."Seb" & Mr."ym".
You are correct, the RACER 17 is a totally different kite then the INFINITY v1 or v2 . The RACER was designed to race and it increases its speed while you are riding it, it's crazy. Also it was designed for amazing hang time and to go upwind incredibly well, way better then the INFINITY V2. And once again, you are right, this kite is more for advance kiters that are into racing or want to glide.
On the other hand the INFINITY v2 is way more fun, because it is faster and more responsive, it pivots on its axes which is amazing for the waves or kite loops, relaunches way easier and way more stable.
Personally the INFINITY v1 or v2 is my #1 choice if you are looking for an all around kite to have fun. The RACER is more for racing.

This is an email I got from a rider that bought a SCREAMER 7/9/12 (3G) five months ago and loves them. But less then two months ago, I sent him a SCREAMER 10 LTD (3G) to demo just to see his reaction and told him if you like the SCREAMER 9 you are going to fall in love with the SCREAMER 10 (3G).
This is the email I got from him today:

Demitri,
I don't know what the voodoo is behind that Screamer 10, but that is HANDS DOWN the most amazing kite I've ever flown. More to come man, I'm still settling down from the most badass session I've ever hard.
That kite made the world stand still man... holy shit.
Matt
(today was the first "real" session I've had on it since you sent it out. Puts the Screamer 9 to shame; I didn't think that was possible- more to come on this session)

Hello guys,
In order to come up with the new EPIC Chicken Loop, we had to test lots of other kite company Chicken Loops. But the one we liked the most was the idea that BEST had. So we took this idea plus other ideas from other Chicken Loops and worked around it to come up with something different, easier to release under pressure, very fast to put back after released (all it needs is 2 seconds to put it back together), plus very easy to clean and to replace parts if you need to. This Chicken Loops looks nothing like a NORTH CL, but it has a ring like few other Chicken Loops in the market have. The new CL that we have been working on was made from different ideas of other Chicken Loops in the market. So in few words we took everything that was good from other CL kite companies and came up with our own Chicken Loop. A lot of work goes to my designer "Momi". Also you are correct, what makes this CL release really nice is the angle from where the ball comes out, plus the simplicity. The ball comes out from the side compare to most other Chicken Loops out there. We had to test different angles to choose which one was the best.
Just don't forget this CL is only a prototype. The final production will look really nice.

Same thing goes with all the other EPIC kites products we offer. We do a lot of testing with other Kite brand Manufactures and that is how we are able to come up with such amazing kites, boards, bags, harnesses, and so on.... But not to forget most important is the feed back we get from all of you guys.
Thank you so much for all the help you have given us for the past 3 years. :thumb:

From page 75 of Epic Kites 2011 Thread:
Most of the EPIC ATTACK part 1 & 2 videos were filmed on the "3 Generation" kites.
So yes, you can see the Screamer 12 "3G" and the Screamer 10 "3G" in these videos.

Hello Mr."GrodanBol". In this video called "EPIC ATTACK part# 2", I am using 3 different size kites kites, but they are all SCREAMERS.
Screamer 10 ltd (3G)
Screamer 12 (3G)
Screamer 14 (3G).
They are all SCREAMER models. But if you check some other videos in the waves you will see that all the kites I use are RENEGADE models.

Back in January Masskiting.com and Lewis County NY held the annual Tug Hill Snowkiting Event. We finally finished putting together a short movie from the weekend and I wanted to share. We had kiters come from all over the east coast and mid west. It was a great event you can check out more info here,

I wanted to share the video and also give a big shout out to Epic for supporting the event. Dimitri was generous enough to help sponsor the event sending a complete line up of 3G renegades and screamers as well as a donating a ton of swag for our raffle. We raised over $500 for the local food bank and everyone had a blast. It was great to see so many companies come together for one great weekend.

Also sorry I couldn't post the video directly in this post vimeo doesn't like me today...
