Re: Another sickk edit!!!

Hi Rory, I really enjoyed your movie, It's my kind of style of riding. It was a nice surprise to see a solid edit on Gokova, I was down there in July and it must have taken a lot of effort to get all those nice shots. Maybe next time you post give people a clue what type of film it's going to be the...

Re: Bars Breaking??? How many people have ever had theirs f

I broke a well know brands bar clean in half on the first use once, I received a new one promtly under warranty so I'm not going to mention the brand.

I have mostly used slingshot over the years and have never had a problem with a slingshot bar.

Re: Hooked in kiteloop/megaloop advice- rpm users

You need to buy a new kite if you want to do a megaloop or have more fun with hooked in loops. I had fuels from 2005-10 then moved to RPM's in 2010 and experimented with all of the sizes. The RPM is the bollox in every area except high jumps which is what you want for kitelooping. I have pulled some...

Re: Zaafarana Egypt

I went last year, I agree with Pingo. The spot is good, the kite school is really great and the wind pumped whist I was there and it was uncrowded. The hotel on the spot is the worst hotel i've ever stayed in my life and I've stayed in some $hitholes. The food at the hotel wasn't fit for human comsu...

Re: Slingshot Rally Kite Faults

I've just done a 4 month solid season on the rally 12 as my light wind kite and RPM's, I used the 12 rally for substantial amounts of time. Reading this I had to get my Bar and kites out to check them. I was using the 2011 rally bar with my R12 and RPM 10m and had serious abuse over the past few mon...

Re: RPM relaunch problems

I teach students on RPM's. Make sure you let the bar go (so the kite depowers) before you pull on the right or left steering line, the most common mistake seems to be trying to relaunch with full power or pulling the steering line too hard making the kite fall backwards once you have it on the wing ...
