Hello peeps I'm looking at trying to get a demo on a 2016 Vegas anybody know of any.....seems there aren't many about these days? Can anybody help?

Lol Mick. Well I've just had a big bowl of Porridge and now I'm off kiting just to show what a hardcore geezar I really am *beats his chest. Lol

Pmsl [emoji23][emoji23] I hope everyone knows that wasn't some kind of poor attempt at bragging rights

I have an 8 m Vegas, I can safely fly this in well over 40 knots, in actual fact I've been out on it in 50 + without too much concern. I don't need a smaller kite, anything windier than that is too unpredictable or not fun anyway

I thought as much moose lol

I'm assuming this is a newer thing with the Rebel as it never used to able to be flown 4 line? Had a similar thing happen to me on a launch when my 5th came off, the tips off the kite nearly touch and there is a whole lot of power, I was dragged up a very small beach on my ass but luckily someone was at hand to grab me and someone else grabbed the kite. I didn't fancy cuddling the coastguard comms mast [emoji37]

i find Billabong Suits nice and flexible, this was confirmed by a friend who works in an outlet with loads of different brands, he says they are the most flexible, maybe try one. Would never have a mystic one personally as i find the seam across the back is bloody uncomfortable.

Tapatalk is playing up so can't reply with quotes. :flushed: I find it strange but then don't know all the facts, maybe the likes of red bull are chipping in but I'd have expected him to mention that as they are his sponsors.....but then I guess nobody else would probably bother contributing if they knew that to be the case. I'm sure he believes it to be the best treatment in the U.S. and why he is doing it but then if you can't afford it. I'm sure I'd see this differently in his position (obviously I hope I never am), he wants the best chance I'm sure. As for well paid, I'm not so sure, there were rumors of what best paid him to join the team but they were nothing more than that as far as we know but I think sometimes you'd be surprised at how little some people make through these things. always difficult to say, all depends on merchandise etc no doubt. He isn't pushing kit like the likes of the hallow brand. He hasn't even got his own kite per say has he? Iim assuming the extract sells well in other countries, I've never seen one over here

it is terrible news for the guy, shoot me sown in flames here but....im still left slightly confused about the fundraising bit, could he not return home to get treatment for free?, or dare i say one of his sponsors contribute, im really not sure how i feel about it anyway regardless of all that, hope he makes a full and speedy recovery.

nice, good work

If its a real deal then it sounds far too good......so probably is too good to be true lol

not sure of the Name of the meds squiznick, but i have been to Egypt quite a few times and i swear by using alcohol Gel regularly to clean my hands, after being rough the first time i was there and seems to have done the trick ever since. Touch wood, as they say.

:

lol you are a brave man clearly, good job you know Mark and Sarah, although i suspect your next meeting with Sarah may go a little differently to the last.....there maybe violence lol looks like me and a few friends will be slightly further up the coast for a few days that week

oooooh i might well be up your neck of the woods that week now so may well be there. might try me a new screamer

just think Andy, if you got yourself a job and worked hard you might be able to do the same, jealousy is ugly my man I have to say Colin I had never rated the F one Bars in the past but think they have vastly improved more recently. You'd go along way to beat the North 5th Element trust system. I still say you should just get to know your own safety, but standardizing my help others assist so couldn't be a bad idea. Having said all that i think if you are really in the poo you'd struggle to release anything in time, i hope i never have to find out

For sale, 10m Vegas, one bomb proof pro repair to leading edge, tape to one part of canopy covering a couple of pin pricks see pictures . Otherwise kite in good condition. £200 kite only

lol no suspense for you Mark i suspect

sorry but that is absolute Cack lol Does D not know you have told us all they on the way anyway, he could have saved himself the trouble and money of making a pointless Video with nothing in it lol

:eek:

Columbus direct were SH1TE when i had to claim last time, waste of time, would never use them again

looking good Mark, yeah i can imagine its not easy to keep up with the ever changing gear, seems to come round quick, must be alot of work goes into this. the board looks great as well, have managed to salvage my Ballistic for now, its not pretty but it still feels exactly the same....but no doubt ill have to admit defeat and some point and ill be on your ear for a demo

looks Good Mark, easier to navigate, not here to pick holes but there is some anomolies on the Blankforce Mk 5, price is lower in the description and say new 2014 model.

terrible news, poor guy, RIP. just goes to show how things can go wrong. I remember a line becoming wrapped round the end of my bar after a failed raley, kite started looping and i was pulled backwards though the water so quickly there was no way of getting to my quick release which was on a handle pass leash, its now on the side of my Harness, i was lucky that the kite crashed and didnt relaunch.

All sold
