  1. Been a while since I've posted anything here but thought this might be worth a share. Not able to get out as often as I'd like these days but still trying to keep my hand in.
  2. For Sale: 9m Gaastra Jekyll (2012 edition) LEI kite with bar and lines. No pump. Kite is in great condition with no tares or repairs. All stitching on the leading edge is intact. This kite has been used on land but taken minimal abuse. This kite would suite intermediate and above. Not a kite for a complete beginner. £400.00 - Collection from the Wrexham area or willing to post but buyer pays for posting. For Sale Photos by ChrisPKiting | Photobucket
  3. Come and compete Seriously do... Last year i could only manage 2 tricks and could only jump with the kite on one side of me. The comp pushed me to jump with the kite either side (during the comp, Hank shouted 'Send it!!!' and so i did). With the weather being pretty bad last year i didn't get out as much as i'd liked to have done so this year i went in with about 5 tricks. But on the freefly day i learned a few more, not perfected but they are there. To me its not about placing 1st or last (i do like last though) its about meeting up with the best and getting advice and really pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. I'm still very much the noob of the bunch who fly in the buggy comp but i'd recommend anyone who likes freestyle to come take part
  4. No typo... Smallest kite i have is a 9m and in anything above 30mph it scares the proverbial out of me ;-)
  5. Might be heading that way this Sunday, just hoping the wind eases off a little and the rain doesn't show
  6. Just waiting on my house to sell and i'll be investing in a Speed4 10m first, then looking for a 15m after Going from an LEI to the speed is like childs play. Very easy to get big airs and i feel very safe when i'm up there. I'd like to have gone higher but as it wasn't my kite i didn't want to run the risk of damage. Awesome time though, much better than i thought it would be and even with it being soddin cold i had the best time up there. Looking forward to my next visit up there
  7. Slightly different circumstances but i live in a 3 bed house but i have no other storage so for me its simply remove the back wheels and the forks with front wheel still on and store upstairs in the spare room. To help keep things a little bit more dirt free i had BuggyBagMan make me 2 sacks. 1 holds the front wheel and forks and the other holds the back wheels. makes it easier to get them upstairs too. 5 minutes to take apart or put together
  8. Great.... So I'm going to be driving one of there buses with that slapped on the side... Oh the joys :/
  9. Also nice to have met you Tony... Nice putting names to faces. See you up there again sometime
  10. I think a lot of the Midlands flying sites will need a few weeks to dry out properly. I know the MASC site was water logged the weekend and KKC is in a similar state. After all the rain this year I think we could do with a few months of nice dry windy weather
  11. The brummy on the LEI would have been me I thought the winds were pretty good that day which just goes to show the kind of winds we fly in at the old airboss site Hope to visit Hearsall some day soon (25 minute drive makes me wander why i haven't already) and i'll be back up the hill at some point too
  12. Great edit and nice track... Watching brought back loads of good memories of the event Roll on next years
  13. Well i came up on the Sat but the wind was in the wrong direction and not enough of it. Great for the paragliders up there though. Saw about 15 in the air at one point plus a few gliders. My sister was happy though, more photo's for her portfolio Will be up again at some point though and hopefully the wind will be there too
