It still amazes me that people think size is whats its all about when talking about kites. A recent comment to me was a 4.9m Reactor wouldn't pull a
225 lb guy around in a buggy, that just blew me away.
I been deciding how to sell my kites as I don't want anyone to get hurt so I thought I'd stick to this site but its apparent that it just doesn't work
that way. No matter where you go and what you tell people that there just that people and make mistakes no matter what you try and teach or tell them.
Man, what a crazy world we live in.

Hey wolfie how true a statement that is.
Have recently met this family, all the kids want to do is get lofted.
And will not listen in regards to protective equipment.
What do you do Harp on or turn a blind eye.

during this years snow storm the wind was in the 40s and 50s and some snowboarding friends of mine wanted me to take out my 15m Charger. I told them
that I would DIE but that didn't deter them from trying to get me to go out there. people don't understand about control technique and style...they
just think about brute force............ignorance is a killer:dunno:

I definatly appreciate you guys. I wish more people had sense. I had a friend who bought a 5m Ace and went against my advice and took it out in
35mph winds. He got lifted high and crashed. Luckily didn't break his bones but not too long after that he sold it. I was dissapointed that he
didn't stay involved because he was in a rush to get big air. I wish I wouldve had guys like you give me advice when I first started:bigok:
