ok chaps quick question, what is Hydro? I've missed that I think:o Had some fun up the lickeys this afternoon, nothing too heavy but some gusts were enough to get me a bit of a jump good fun :cool:Riff

I've discovered a smallish place in Dudley, just off of the Birmingham New Road up from the big KFC... a bit of waste ground. Quite hilly and not massive... not good for buggies I suspect.

to the two blokes on the hills today who helped me sort my pepper out when I was in a mess with it. Cheers fellas, I should have asked your names (doh!) See you again with luck Riff (with the big yaller boots)

Who's there tomorrow?

two words for you my friend: "KITE KILLERS!"

rather jolly good

very good - impressive

doesn't work (using firefox)

personally I've enjoyed the sites and the look... colours are... muddy tho. I'd like to see one in action but then as a noob what do I know?

So we just look for a big pink thing in the sky right? That's it?

How was your weekend? I spent most of it suffering with a stinky head cold... not as deblitating as man-flu but enough that wherever I went I'd leave a trail of lung butter. Not good for running around in the wind with a "streabig doze" :(

weatehr forecast fr tomorrow looks better

Thanks mate... I was in m h today too, but don't know decathlon... but shorts & a tee sounds really cold

talking of clobber, where's the best place to get all weather kiting gear?

hey hey whatcha got mate?

2nd one... does what it says on the tin. Top one could be Left Handed Flyers or luminous haired flyers or lunatic hooligan flyers... etc etc ad infinitum ;) Riff:cool:

great pics, tho for some reason the vids aren't working. I am using Firefox as a browser

It's an event in Wales in 10 days or so over that weekend I think. I'm afraid I'm not gonna make it either, so you won't be totally alone I'll be heading over to the Lickeys or Sutton instead I reckon Riff:cool:

That's cuz he's very brave. I was wearing my new knee pads and I'd have winced but he just grinned (seriously I thought he'd hurt himself but thankfully not)

Hi mate, glad to see you're still around. How are the knees from that quick flip you did on saturday evening? I felt that from 20 yards away Hope all's well:eek: Riff:cool:

I spent an hour on the Lickeys on saturday evening and all yesterday afternoon with some mates at Sutton. Great stuff

Ah sounds good mate but I don't know it... can you be more specific? Cheers Riff

excellent!

At the risk of playing devil's advocate, I'd say try something else. That's based on my (very recent) experience. I've only just started kiting (august in fact) and started with a 1.4 Buster, as recommended by a friend. I was seriously considering a 4.0 Buster as a 2nd kite but Dan (I think) at Powerkiteshop.com told me to try a 3.5 Pepper - he said he'd sell me a Buster if I wanted but said I'd do better with the Pepper. He thinks the construction of the Pepper is better since the Buster's slightly older now and to be honest, he even advised against the 4.5 Pepper. In doing so he screwed himself out of £30 odd quid because the 3.5 Pepper's a lot cheaper. I have just taken my Pepper out at the Lickeys and it had me all over the place, I was scudding and dragging and had a great workout (Kite killers are wonderful!) in pretty gusty conditions I love my 1.4 Buster, but I feel I've made a good choice Cheers Riff:cool:
