Calling all twinskin users

-mj- - 4-3-2010 at 02:38 AM

Hi everyone,
Last year we were exited to see such a diversity of Twinskins on the playa and that has lead us to an idea.
What we would like to try is to get as many Arc's, old and new, as possible in one picture.
So if you own one (or more) and have the possibility of bringing them please come find us (look for the Peter Lynn banners) and join in.

This idea would require a bit of planning but as we all know winds&weather don't care about plans so we will have to decide when to do it when we're out on the playa.

I will make sure there's a little something in it for everyone and ofcourse we can send you a copy of the pic in high res.

See you out there, only 24 days to go!

Cheers.

Wish I could make it, would love the picture.

Hafta' see if I can learn to fly mine first:smilegrin:

Bladerunner - 4-3-2010 at 07:28 AM

I'm in !

CSA , I will have a 15 and 10 . You ( being larger ) can fly the 15 Syn while I fly my 10 CH.

Yet another time I am sorry I sold my F-arc!

BeamerBob - 4-3-2010 at 07:46 AM

All 3 of mine will be there. I can share too.

carltb - 4-3-2010 at 08:07 AM

geokite - 4-3-2010 at 08:08 AM

Sounds great, be there with bells on!

bobalooie57 - 4-3-2010 at 08:14 AM

Now there is a shot for the Gallery, so everyone can share!

lad - 4-3-2010 at 08:18 AM

If I do make it out there, I'll be empty handed. :cool2: So I'd be happy to babysit someone's spare arc for the pix!

PHREERIDER - 4-3-2010 at 08:31 AM

cool with that

-mj- - 4-3-2010 at 09:00 AM

@ wolfwolfee, too bad, that Guerilla would have been great to have in it too!
@ heliboy, I’m sure there ‘ll be people that can show you the ropes, no worries.
@ Carl sure thing.
@ bobalooie, good idea, will put it up there.

Everyone else, big thanks, probably too much to wish for but I’m hoping to get all models in there, I’ll bring my F-arc and see if I can scrounge up some of the other classics.

not with that big pink skirt he wears, the CH 10 is better suited. Rofl.

macboy - 4-3-2010 at 02:04 PM

Now....what're the odds we can find six others to fly the extras? Wasn't sure if I'd be bringing them all but for this cause I'm game!

Wait though....I don't have bar & lines for all of them. Prob only enough to get 3 flying at once. Maybe 4 if I pull the bar & lines off the Access for the pic.

macboy - 4-3-2010 at 02:05 PM

Solution! These things are stackable! :lol:

ripsessionkites - 4-3-2010 at 02:48 PM

i have extra bar/lines, and can hold one in each hand. auto zenith rules.

csa_deadon - 4-3-2010 at 03:21 PM

Keep it up rip, I'm gonna have to replace your redbull with caffeine free, diet mt. dew! btw sent u2u concerning skirts.

If there's an extra one, I'll give it a try. I always wanted to fly one but never got the chance.

markite - 5-3-2010 at 01:29 AM

ahhh man you guys are killing me, I gotta stop reading the NABX forum about this year's event. The biggest one planned in a while and it's the one I'll miss - so very unhappy about it. In fact, there won't be any of the usual gang coming down from Ontario Canada this year so that's 6 dedicated twinskin fliers out of the picture. I'm tempted to send a couple of my kites to friends just to take down and get dusty so I'll have that lovely feeling when they come back.
Sounds like it'll be an awesome photo op.

I didn't know about this ! Sorry to hear. Canada can't be properly represented without the Ontario gang.:no:

doublespeed360 - 5-3-2010 at 08:38 AM

going to miss you guys, will get extra dusty for you. will leave a chair open at the dirty buffet.

SCREWYFITS - 7-3-2010 at 04:27 AM

If there is an extra or demo that I could use, count me in!!!
