Gah! 12m North Vegas for $80?!

I'm guessing this thing is as old as the hills. I can't go down there, but maybe erratic or jeepers? Even for a really old kite, that's a ridiculous price for a 12m.

I thought you were getting rid of your lei's? I was going to get a cheap vegas but people steered me away from it. It may have been because I was a noob though. The guy is selling KO so how do you know it holds air? Do you know what year it is? I'd ask if he would let you test fly it or atleast inflate it for awhile to see if it checks out before you jump on it.

Hehe

Already got it. 25% off asking price. Holds air. 2005. No strings or bar or pump.

I pick it up at 6am as I drive through Pueblo on the way to XBAN.

Yea...I suck. Don't hate

I knew I could count on you, jeepers!

I'm definitely not done with LEIs, but I do prefer the arc thus far for inland wind. I will, however, be keeping my 2008 6m Cabrinha switchblade... If only because us the newest depower I own :)

Anyway, I'm glad you snapped this up, Paul. It's a good deal even at asking price. It's a ridiculous deal at what you negotiated. I even have a bar and lines you can use to fly it .

Van. Please move to my city and start selling your kites :)

2005 Vegas? C kite, lots of fun, lots of power, not the best relaunch, very hard to relaunch on land.

The right bar system can improve the safety and the depower a bit over 2005 standards.


good pickup for sure

It will be coming back to CO so you both can fly if you want.

At least put a 5'th line on the Vegas it so you can re-launch it or dump the power if you are in trouble.

Got you beat on older LEI bows, Proletariat. Flying 06' Switchblades and Xbows and they work fine. Now, I'd like them to be one-pump, especially in winter, but can't have everything...
