Nice dog. :)

Dogs often get such a bad press. :sad:

We need more pictures of kites and pets peacefully co-existing. :friends:

Wow, you found one ? That was FAST ! Not as pretty as the rainbow one, but you'll never find a day that there's not enough wind. Nice score !!!

Well, I did write up some first impressions back when the Jinx 2.0 / Jinx UL 2.0 were first released.

Having flown the UL a bit more since then, I have to say it's a great balance between freestyle and precision styles. Because it's bigger than the Hydra, it flies a bit more slowly. It's great on 120' lines, but feels a little too close on 75s. It's fast on the way to becoming my favorite kite of 2010.

Here's a bit of low quality video that I shot last weekend. I've posted this on a couple other sites already, some of you may have already seen it.

Things I like about this kite.

Smooth leading edge no snags.

Positive leading edge tension, not shock cord.

Positive location of the spreader connectors, not relying on the cutout in the sail.

Full length bag that also folds in half for when you collapse the LE.

Leaders with the bridle.

Yo-yo stoppers.

And I even like the colour. :)

Regards

Another shot of the 4D.

Fades and backspins very easily, 540's, taz's etc even the odd comete with the right light touch..

Actually unlike the 3D, the 4D flys similar to a "proper" trickable stunt kite. It will always be a compromise, but unlike the 3D is worth flying (and it breaks down to fit on my Mountain Bike too!!)

cheers

nice handles Kevin!

Keeping in the Revolution theme, here is a picture of my Zen (now about 5 months old). Nice in the 0-3 mph wind range.

(If the forum would let me post a bloody picture, you'd be able to see it!)
