Suds after thuds Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 This is Pete: here in Berlin, there's some good street kiting to be had, and I'm so curious to try one of these. Quote
jhn.holgate Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Posted June 17, 2015 Hi Pete, welcome to XK. Is it the old Berlin Airport that you have over there that's been converted to a park where I see lot of people flying? Looks like a fantastic spot. Good luck in the comp. Quote
ColinW Posted June 18, 2015 Report Posted June 18, 2015 Hi. Colin from Canada here. Just getting in to power kites, and I've bought a lot of used crap (and a couple nice ones). A brand spanking new kite would be awsome. Maybe next week you guys could please give away a buggy . Ha ha. Quote
jhn.holgate Posted June 18, 2015 Author Report Posted June 18, 2015 Hi Colin, Welcome to XK! Geez, not sure about our chances of a buggy giveaway but you never know, if we gain enough momentum, maybe we could. hmmmm.... now you've got me thinking..... Quote
ColinW Posted June 18, 2015 Report Posted June 18, 2015 No pressure! And thanks for the opportunity. My wife insists I'm lucky...I guess we'll see. Fingers crossed. colin Quote
BigE Posted June 18, 2015 Report Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) Hi I'm Ian and I fly / make single skin kites, though the making drives my wife to distraction, especially when there's a kite being bridled up Just a little taster of what I get up to, will post more pics in the gallery later: Three of the new breed type kites: Red / white 12m2 with an AR 4.7, Green / white 7.2m2 with an AR 4.7 and Orange / white 5m2 AR 4.2 (Not to scale) Edited June 18, 2015 by BigE .Joel and Chook 2 Quote

jhn.holgate Posted June 18, 2015 Author Report Posted June 18, 2015 That's Awesome, Ian. Welcome to XK and good luck with the comp Quote
filodv31 Posted June 18, 2015 Report Posted June 18, 2015 Hi, I'm Filippo from Italy. I love to fly kites and I love quedecree's videos! One day I will be a buggyer too! Please put me in the draw! Quote
jhn.holgate Posted June 18, 2015 Author Report Posted June 18, 2015 Welcome to XK, Filippo. Thanks for the kudos on the videos! Good luck with the comp. Quote
Andy456 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Posted June 19, 2015 Hi New to this forum, I have a Nasa Star2 7m (purchased just as the star 3 was released). Nasa Star kites are excellent, good build quality, easy to set up, light... Best bit is they are super stable and a joy to fly. I fly in a buggy but also learning to use the Nasa Star kite with a dirt surfer ! The opportunity to win another for my collection can not be missed. PS... if Born-Kite-Shop are looking for a UK sponsored rider,.. look no further and contact me asap. Quote
rectifier Posted June 19, 2015 Report Posted June 19, 2015 Hey, Rectifier here of SK, Canada. Loved kites all my life and have built a few over the years. I like to build out of Tyvek as it is incredibly robust in impacts with crop stubble. I ride snow out in the farm fields with my quiver of homemade NPWs, which is dominated by the experimental 7m Depower NPW21 built under the guidance of BigE the singleskin master (as is obvious in the above posts ^^^) I would love to own one of these Nasa Stars, this one is beautiful and would fill a spot for a kite on a bar. Never got any of my NPWs to fly nicely on a bar so this would be fun! Quote
soliver Posted June 19, 2015 Report Posted June 19, 2015 Loving the ever growing cast of characters!!! Some familiar faces too!! Howdy Ian always love your Nasa's and the Hammers too!!! martin8409 1 Quote

They are hard to come by these days since the compny went out of business. I have a second hand one, full Al frame. Welcome to the EK. Quote
Northern Kites Australia Posted June 22, 2015 Report Posted June 22, 2015 Considering the amount of time and effort you've both expended in getting us here so far, I'm happy to have you in the draw! But what about that line "... employees, friends, family and assocites of ... are not eligible to enter" like in most comps!? Ahhh ok.. I'll shut up now! Quote
Northern Kites Australia Posted June 22, 2015 Report Posted June 22, 2015 Hi I'm Ian and I fly / make single skin kites, ... Wow. Awesome designs Ian. I am thinking of doing the same with my FS SPeed 3 12m. I've PM'd you for advice. Thanks Quote

Ahhh ok.. I'll shut up now! What line? Where's it say that? Besides, I consider most of you lot my friends....... and we're sort of a big family Quote
