Hello everyone, i have just joined your community after lurking for a little while, My name is david and i have been flying about a year, i currently
fly "flows" a 5 & 3m and ride in a flexi bug. I live literally in the centre of the uk in a small town called "Nuneaton" so fly inland mostly,
occasionally getting to the coast for some "proper" wind..Anyhow guys thats me and i look forward to contributing and you never know i might actually
make sense at some point..atvb davidMaven454 - 18-12-2009 at 01:54 PM

Looking at the videos from the UK, and having ridden there briefly, it's amazing how many large, open, public fields there are there. In N. America
there are maybe 2 or 3 large (>20 riders) land based kiting festivals. I've heard that in the UK there is one nearly every w/e.
It's especially strange for us here in Ontario, where there is tons of land, but no one lets you use it. Lack of land access is severely limiting
land based kiting here, and as a result, land boarding skills are probably 5-10 years behind the riders I've seen in the UK, and Holland.indigo_wolf - 21-12-2009 at 01:25 PM
Make sense?
What fun would that be?
Welcome!!

CHEERS SAM,my thoughts exactly:duh::frog:..William rx7 i have to agree we are very lucky over here we do have a lot of open flying spaces and we do
all tend to seek out other flyers, so yeah in that respect it`s great, But we also have a lot of restriction in certain areas due to irresponsible
flying and it has to be said members of the public who see a "kite" and some loon hanging of the end of it laughing like a banshee and think they are
in mortal danger....Before you know it another ban is in place..Personally i`ve got an immense journey of about 150 metres to my local spot which
consist`s of 4 football pitches laid out side by side..(that`s proper football):frog::D alright fellas calm down lol..you are all welcome to come and have a sesh with me whenever you`re ready!! atvb guys david
