Using your same back woods, straw man argument.....Bille wrote:Billy B. wrote: ...

The fact that you just had to be a dick one last time really shows your hand.
The part Your NOT grasping is that Brian HAS the land-speed Record.
He used a Foil-kite to do it with.
And Your more than welcome to "Try" and take it away from him with your LEI, any time
you want.
And if you do, then i'll pay-pal Ya the money for a 6-pk of Beer !!
Good Luck ; you'll Need it.

The part Your NOT grasping is that Rob Douglas HAS the water-speed Record.
He used a LEI to do it with.
And Your more than welcome to "Try" and take it away from him with your foil kite, any time
you want.
Good luck; you'll need it.
Again what point does this prove? One person went out and went wicked fast and that is the awesome part.
If Brian would have gone out on a LEI and gone 2 mph less he would still have the record and you would still have your same argument only claiming LEI are faster. He went fucking fast because it was windy as f*** and he has a fast buggy and he was charging. It may have been all Brian and had nothing to do with gear but just his sack size that day.
I love how earlier in the discussion you started claiming "what about the normal guy" now it is all about one guy? Just seems like a big man crush on Brian to me.
Fast land sailor solid wing, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRFRQXPtXTs , fast as f***
Big Americia cup AC72 solid wings, fast as f***
Sailrocket fixed solid wing, fast as f***
Hydroptere stiff carbon reinforced sails. fast as f***
Speed windsurfers mylar and carbon with batons rigged solid and only flexible to tack. fast as f***
Speed kites, soft dacron, around a bridled or inflated frame???????? not as fast as kites could be...
On of these things is not like the other, one of these things needs to improve......
Again he went fast because he had gear to go fast with and went out and did it, it sweet storm winds. To be too ignorant to comprehend he may have gone faster, is your issue not mine. He and I agree the kite is the current weak point in going faster. Perhaps using other gear maybe even a different kite style.
He used what he had available, that does not mean it is the fastest gear, it means he went fast with it. And he and his gear have a record, not just his kite. I love how you keep claiming I am discounting Brian's accomplishment, but you clearly credit the kite and not the complete system for the success?
I heard the ski brand that won the down hill is the fastest kind of ski...
I heard the motorcycle that set the speed record on the salt flats in 1988 is the fastest kind of motorcycle....
I heard Rob Douglas's water kite was the fastest kind of kite ever....
I heard that a buggy kite is the fast kind of kite ever...
I heard that a paraglider is faster then any big kite and should be converted into a kite....
Again unless there is a true shakedown comparing several types of kites at high speeds using the same medium, buggy, board, skis,skates, what ever, there are to many variables to prove any one kite superior this early in speed kite development.
