It seems that even the Flexi guys realize that the changes from the IV weren't necessarily improvements.

Hey Kiteguru, where are you...? Thought you'd be all over this....! :singing:

DAKITEZ - 5-8-2011 at 09:19 PM

I got em first ... little asian boys need to get in line behind the men :lol:

Looks like the crossover line is back that was on the IV.











Drewculous - 5-8-2011 at 09:20 PM

Mine is somewhere between uk and nebraska... Any day now :evil:

And just think... In six months mr mougl will have it paid off :lol:

Kamikuza - 5-8-2011 at 10:19 PM

Looks like a paraglider :o

Bladerunner - 6-8-2011 at 08:12 AM

I look forward to Rip' getting that one in " For Kite Mamma " Yea, that's IT ! For Kite Mamma.

Then we will get a picture of the kite in the AIR rather than how Dino flies them !

:kiss:

tridude - 6-8-2011 at 08:24 AM

again if any of you decide to dump a 6.6 6.5 or 8.5 BIII or BIV for the VIP shoot me a u2u..............................

nice kite, are you going to look at it or fly it???

its probably too much kite in the hands of Dino. :moon:

looking forward to your freestyle vids / pics. hehehee :thumbup:

DAKITEZ - 6-8-2011 at 09:15 AM

they are not for me. You guys know I am not a jumper. I got them to keep my TR's happy :P

I am not bringing in any to sale. The profit margins flexifoil has given us now does not even make it worth my time to sale one. Especially since they are not stocking them in the USA and we have to order them direct from the UK. If I sold one at retail price and did not charge the customer for the shipping costs from UK I would loss money. :thumbdown:

mougl - 6-8-2011 at 09:35 AM

Omg!!!! Look at the AR on that thing!!! Want NOW!!! :lol:

Drooling here...

keep talking old man. Are your blades back from getting bronzed so you can hang them over the fireplace and remember the old days :moon:

shehatesmyhobbies - 6-8-2011 at 02:43 PM

Awesome looking kite! Bet it's a beast!

probably is especially without the 10.5 sitting behind it, same as the IV series...................I owned an 8.5 BIII and it was a beast......I could hold it to 14 mph static, boosting some big jumps.................cancel your gym membership with this one!:thumbup::thumbup::shocked2:

Drewculous - 8-8-2011 at 12:36 PM

tri- i just noticed your mood... :lol:

/veer

i cannot wait till this kite is in my greedy little mitts! Ahhhhhhh!

mougl - 8-8-2011 at 07:22 PM

Drew, bro, I know the feeling! I'm feeling like a kid on Christmas eve. So stoked!

Must....
Have....
Kite....
Soon....

I showed my XR+ a picture of it's new engine. It sort of looked back at me with a strange look of lust in it's eyes. It then realized I'll be the pilot and I swear it let out a snicker. There must have been a duck nearby because I swear I heard "Aflac". Odd.

OUCH !

I deserve that after my dismal performance at NABX this year !
The blades aren't getting bronzed yet. I just realized it's time to start showing you folks that there is more to the " old man " than just blades. I can beat you sitting on my butt as well !

You will know me when you see the Big Yellow Taxi up front !
:wee:

Drewculous - 9-8-2011 at 06:47 AM

The Blade IV was a sexy kite. It is just a beautiful thing in the sky and flew so perfect that you liked it even more after getting it in the air and started realizing it is the total package. The press release mentions the Blade IV so maybe there's lots of good stuff in there.

DAKITEZ - 11-8-2011 at 12:43 PM

Screwyfits got his VIP out yesterday. He called me after and only had one word to say "SWEEEEEET!!!!!"

Drewculous - 11-8-2011 at 01:22 PM

2.5 hours... Ill see if I can elaborate on that lol

tridude - 11-8-2011 at 03:46 PM

bout time someone is talking about a FB kite.........................reminds me of the old days!! If this kite is half as good as the III, and IV series, wow!!

awindofchange - 11-8-2011 at 06:03 PM

We got em in stock here, and they look SAAAWWWEEEET! Going to take one of these out for our Friday Night fly's and let everyone have a turn on her.

BeamerBob - 11-8-2011 at 06:10 PM

Kent, maybe I can swing a visit to the Friday fly this week. I guess if I get near UNLV I should see some ripstop in the air? You told me once where it was but I barely knew how to find my hotel and your shop! lol. I'd love a go on this if the wind isn't blowing 15 gusting to 30 like it is today.

Edit: Got my kitchen pass for tomorrow night. I've got a set of HQ Toxics that need to get the bridles bedded in.

mougl - 12-8-2011 at 11:37 AM

Have the tracking # on mine. Can't wait to give a report!!!!

Drewculous - 13-8-2011 at 08:23 PM

So after a fantastic anniversary dinner... A few vodka tonics, and several bottles of wine..... I noticed the wind was blowing ever so slightly.... Needless to say... I had an awesome time with the vip in 5mph winds... Lol!

Very relaxing buggy sesh.... Even did my first mini CB :lol:

Had to pack it up when the moon slipped behind some clouds..... Black doesnt do so hot in the dark of night... Wooooo!

Cant wait for some big wind.......... This bad girl just wants to go up!

tridude - 13-8-2011 at 08:33 PM

glo stix/pull ties for nite kites..................

Drewculous - 14-8-2011 at 04:52 PM

I need some of kk led lights! Those are sweet!!

tridude - 14-8-2011 at 05:04 PM

not familiar with those........................sound cool though. My night kites have been on water so two on the tips, one on the harness and one on the board grab handle......................love nite kiting.......................so whats your first impressions of the VIP?

Drewculous - 14-8-2011 at 06:58 PM

Kamikuza stuck some in a synergy and they looked sweet!

I really like it, I need to play with the adjusters a little... And I need more wind.... So far I've flown it in like 5mph wind... But its a tank in those winds!

I hope to top it out at 20mph lol, not sure on that one tho.... Based on my preferred twister winds... 20 should be a riot!
