More air? Lol! The biggie looks like a kite I should own ripsessionkites - 5-6-2011 at 01:32 AM
the refined bridle and bridle material (same as the pro series) gives it more solid feel.
the reduced drag makes it faster across the window giving you more pop.
i know a few shops having demos, so try one out.

This kite is the bomb. I like it much better than the previous version and there was nothing I didn't like about that one. The new color schemes
are a hit as wellDrewculous - 5-6-2011 at 02:30 PM
sweet deal, so the bridals are like the core's setup?
Awesome, one more kite to add to my list....

I have not had the chance to fly the new R yet so I am curious to why it is so much better.ripsessionkites - 6-6-2011 at 12:38 AM

Twister IIR - does the "R" stands for "race bridles" or "refined" ??soliver - 9-1-2012 at 05:24 PM
I fly the 5.6m Twister IIr.
It is my first kite and a biggun' for a first. It is UBER lifty! Esp. in wind over 10mph
I loves me my twister... but sometimes he scares me.
It IS really an awesome kite, really fast, really lifty. Flies and pulls great even 3-4 mph winds. (which are pretty common around Atlanta).
I can't compare it to the old II though.soliver - 9-1-2012 at 08:02 PM
Drewculous,
I posted this vid on youtube to show some friends and family my new "hobby".
I am a newby, so I'm sure my skills and technique leave something to be desired, but it may help you to see some of it's flying characteristics and
get an idea of it in the hands of someone who is not flying it for a product demo.
the only problems I have had with it is that it seems to get the wing tips wrapped in the bridles semi frequently. At least this happens once or twice
per session, maybe its user error.:P
I love the kite and only got a beamer because it was too much for me to handle at times. I bought both from Big Mike who posted above. He is great to
work with.

Good job
I see in the notes that you had to change the music but I liked it -some improve to go with the flying "style.":singing:
Kudos on gauging the wind and your skill well, I can tell by the luffing and jelly fishing that it was barely flying which is the wind that you want
to learn a kite in.
We all work with what we can find in inland fields but that location looks very turbulent to me. As a general rule any tall object will disturb the
wind for 5 -6 times its height downwind and you looked to be 1 -2x from those [albeit beautiful] trees and light polls. I have had good luck with
"soccer complex" style areas with 3+ soccer fields of space which in suburbia also goes a fair way towards getting clear of those wind shadows.
Keep up and you will be buggying/ boarding in no time with a quiver of kites on the sideline [and or that understanding wife of yours flying next to
you :saint:]soliver - 11-1-2012 at 07:23 AM
Thanks for the advice. I've heard different numbers for how far to be from tall trees and buildings, but truth be told, this is about as good as it
gets in the metro atlanta area, and I'll take what I can get. Not to mention this ball field is on the property where I work, so I'm typically there
an hour or 2 before work,... extremely convenient!
This field runs east-west nearly 900ft with pretty big roads on either side, and it is pretty decent wind there the closer you get to the middle of
the field. The vid may be deceiving.
Appreciate the tips!herc - 11-1-2012 at 07:30 AM
@soliver: really nice that you can kite every day that has wind close to your workplace.. get yourself a mountainboard or trailskates soon! the real
fun starts if you get moving on a board/skates! eventually you will get used to the turbulences. our only kiteplace in my town with smooth ground for
boarding is also a soccer field and that too has trees around it. long lines help a bit to get away from the ground level turbulences. but it is still
gusty like hell. but: better than nothing..
enjoy your twister! best low price kite EVER !
