  1. Whereabouts do you go in Wolves? i've moved down there and don't know of anywhere big enough to do traction activities? dan
  2. how much for the surfer?
  3. as the title says which 1? would be used on grass. any1 got any vods of the dirtsurfer being used with a kite?
  4. just getting back into kiting after an 18 month break. moved down from stoke and now live in wolves, so my knowledge of the area is very limited. any recomendations for flying sites? i know of Sutton Park, haven't been down there yet but when i get chance i'll give it a go. Went upto Cannock Chase earlier today at the Pine Cafe, no wind but managed to get my kite set-up for the 1st time without getting any tangles. (does any1 still go there?)
  5. looks like fun....crazy barstewards....how do you learn to do that kind of stuff!....takes a big pair of gonads
  6. good vid you guys look like you enjoy your kiting. reminds me of dirty sanchez, who cares about helmets, live dangerously!
  7. have a look on TAL they do a price match
  8. i had a blade III 4m about 18 months ago now, it was a nice kite but i couldn't get many jumps out of it. i did tweak with the brake lines by tightening them by about an inch and that gave me loads more power. i found it easier to jump with a 3.5 bullet, but that was because i could really speed the kite up, run with the kite then crank it in the opposite direction, which would get me in the air upto about 6ft and then drop like a stone! maybe the answer is to go for a larger kite. i'm looking at the mac bego at the moment, haven't tried one yet but they have loads of lift and an excellent write up:cool:
  9. What size is the guerilla?
  10. Wot kite are you using in the vids?
  11. Jus been searchin ebay & I found a 5.0m radsail pro II brand new RTF for £130 very tempted. Any of you got any comments on them? I saw a 4.0m flying in South Wales and thought they looked quite nice.
  12. those little barstewards! didn't get ur pm
  13. About 18 moths ago I parted with my blade II 4.9, bullet 3.5, pkd buster 3.0, and blade III 4.0 as I bought a house with the misses, smart move or what (i don't know!) My birthday is coming up and my lovely misses has offered to buy me a kite. I have had a browse on the net and found that since I was into the sport lots of new kites have come out and I can't believe how much everything has progressed. I'm looking for an all round kite. I've searched the forum for the rhombus amun there doesn't seem to be much about them and there isn't many places that stock them. I quite like the look of the new radsail or I may go for a SH Blade. Bearing in mind I'll have a budget of no more than £200 has anyone got any recommendations? Or any comments on the amun? I'll maybe get a board further down the line but I want to do nice floaty jumps.
  14. i jus got a quadrifoil harness form powerkiteshop with a free strop been using it for about a month now. it increases my flying time dramatically and found progressing to a harness real easy. i've been flying for about 18 months so i would say i was a competant flyer that gets caught out now and again! some people don't like the quadrifoil harness hence the nickname ball cruncher but i have'nt had a problem sort your tackle out before you put it on and away you go. for £40 you can't complain if you don't like it stick it on ebay and you'll probly fetch £50 for it!
  15. lol i'll have to try em, i can skate and kite so why not combine the two. probly try browsing ebay. i'll let you know how i get on.
