From what I heard the top three riders were using
1. Libre Spirit
2. PL Vapor
3. PL Vapor
but I cannot comfirm it!
Chris
who cares what they were using, who are the top 3, did Ozzy make it? Ari?
no matter the gear, I would rather know who rode in the race. Kites don't make the rider, Rider makes the kite.
Arjen got 6th in the Over-All Open!!! way to go Bro!!!! keep going fast!
is this Ozzy????

well I wouldn't say "who cares", I will say you are right though, a good kite alone won't bring much, but
I think it is pretty amaizing for a company to design there first real Race kite and in the first really big event to get 2nd and 3rd place!!
Hats off to Peter Lynn!!!ripsessionkites - 1-9-2009 at 12:01 PM

Yup, thats me with my new helmet,.... the Vapor was doing well overthere in his first big race event. 2nd place Vapor with John Jansen, 3th place
also Vapor with Jort Buwalda.
For me,... a bit disapointed,.....in the qualifyings Is was 6th / 7 th and then my kite got janked out of the sky, which cost me the place in the
finals,...but next day I was first in the loosers round together with Michel Dekker, so we still got placed in the finals, Michel did not participated
in the finals due to a injury, but I did,....then I got lifted out of my buggy, 11.2mtr in 5 bft is to much,..:puzzled: , and once my kite got
twisted, I that also cost me my race.
But,...the vapor has big potential we were constand in the top 5 during the starts and racesKrohn1999 - 3-9-2009 at 03:17 AM

still nice to see the Spirit by Libre won again, and againJovver - 8-9-2009 at 09:58 AM
Very cool pics! Just a qq... It looks like a lot of the guys are holding the handles near the brakes vs. the power lines. Is this common practice
when flying handles on a strop and is this because you can get more leverage on the brakes? It just seems weird to me, but then again I haven't spent
that many hours on a buggy, and never on handles with a strop.Ozzy - 9-9-2009 at 12:04 AM
Jovver,
we hold our hands more towards the brake lines to get more control during the race, when playing with the brake line you can " tune " the kite a bit
during flight, , for example, when hitting a soft spot in the sand during the race, just pull a little bit more on the brakes, and you get more power
from the kite.
regards,
Ozzy,..Jovver - 9-9-2009 at 09:39 AM

Great Video.
We have a lpng way to go over here !BeamerBob - 14-9-2009 at 04:03 AM
They certainly seem to have wadded up kites much of the time. :puzzled:
Why is it that in races you see buggies in a constant slide sideways at times and they are running at a constant speed. The video is always too tight
to see the big picture and why they would need to do that.ripsessionkites - 14-9-2009 at 02:38 PM
surface / windspeed / riding larger kites than needed for the average userripsessionkites - 15-9-2009 at 05:46 PM
