Reactor IIs Sold

BeamerBob - 12-3-2012 at 01:23 PM

As I progress in my buggy riding, I think I'm ready to move past the Reactor IIs. As nice as they are, I'm comfortable enough in my riding to shift to the racekites and the Phantom IIs. I have 2 prime examples for sale. Both of these kites were custom made for Ripsessions with custom colors in Red/Gray and not a spot of white on them anywhere. Also they are made with a different fabric called Chikara Pro. I understand this fabric is a lighter weight, but it feels really crispy and tight. No damage or repairs whatsoever.

3.5 in action



Prices include shipping to lower 48. Arrangements can be made otherwise.

Kite Only with PL bag. Add lines/handles for $70.

Prices reduced to not reflect 2012 price increases.

Reactor II 2.2m $240

Reactor II 3.5m $270 Sold

*** Hijack ***

Curious to see if the Phantom II will be able to take you faster than the Reactor 2's?!? Granted there could be other reasons for the purchase other than speed?

Wish I had the money for that 3.5!

*** EOH ***

My new affection for the Prodigy, and my ambitions to get comfortable with the vapors, along with the Phantom IIs ordered, I'm really triple dipping to keep these kites. This still has me overlapping. The Prodigy sits between the Reactor IIs and Vapors, so I'm not sure when I would choose the RII over the Prodigy now that I have some time in on it. I have the 2.7 vapor sitting right behind the Prodigy for even higher winds. Great kites for somebody but I need to move them out.

dude, bad timing for me but good for someone else.....................

BeamerBob - 12-3-2012 at 04:40 PM

I looked at my pricing again and reduced them to not reflect the 2012 price increases. These are ready for nabx and I can deliver there or ship to you.

I would be more than happy to try them out at NABX and take some good pictures and write a review to help you sell those RII's.....

Let me know if I can be of assistance......I will be in town a day early and can lay the kites out by your pool and get some great shots..... I am sure the reflection of that clear blue water will make them look stunning.......

BTW..... do you have any beer left in the frig??????

don't forget the Showgirls...kites by the pool always look good with Showgirls! :duh:

g00fba11 - 12-3-2012 at 06:35 PM

Thanks lad..... almost forgot....... gotta have some showgirls and pool babes.....

That reminds me I think BB is having a pool party Wednesday night during NABX...... I suppose I should help him get the word out.....

I wonder if Dino, Ricardo, and Pokitetrash would be willing to give a hand getting the word out and making sure all those at NABX that want to come have directions.......

Check back soon...... we will be posting times and more details......

Be warned I have very boring parties. Fancy dress code too. No dust allowed. Beer just ran out too and dang, just about to drain the pool for plaster repairs. Did I mention I need some help with plastering? Goof you are so kind to offer to help with the kites and organizing the work party!

Tennessee orange and a Power T might get you in the door, even with dust on you. Oh wait, I won't be home!

party beaver's house ... pass. fingers crossed to be locked up in bed at the hotel room.

speaking serious

these are my custom reactor II from World Cup. I only used them once and there pretty much set ready to go for speed and course. I only flew them on grass and never needed them for WC in the end.

Beaver was the first to get them fully dusty on the playa.

the RII 2.2 can do 100km/h easy ... i know this cause I set my PR on one. (sadly #11 now)

the custom colours are one of kind. there is no custom vapor or reactor in this colour scheme and there will never be another one. it has zero white just the way I like it.

perfect sizing for the NABX goers

BeamerBob - 13-3-2012 at 10:02 AM

Thanks Rip. I love that these kites don't have white on the underbelly (or anywhere else). The white looks good on my vapors with the high contrast blue and orange, but usually the white is a downer for me. It's nice to have the kite color facing me when flying.

Nothing is spoken for yet, but I'm getting interest from 2 different guys that can both appreciate what these kites offer. Realize that my price reduction is to get them to 2/3rds of the old retail pricing. These kites had an increase I think in February, making these kites an even better deal, not to mention that they are 1 of a kind custom.

BeamerBob - 13-3-2012 at 02:38 PM

3.5 is sold pending payment.

2.2 is still available.

ripsessionkites - 14-3-2012 at 12:46 AM

Custom also costed more too, this is a real steal

BeamerBob - 14-3-2012 at 09:33 PM

3.5 is heading to Charleston SC to be flown by very capable hands. Count it as sold.

2.2 is also sold, heading down under and missing summer this year.
