The control he has over the kite is why DirtSlide is the person I like to fly with the most. He always knows where his kite and what it is doing. Heal up fast bro.

PS I saw Ken this morning. Most of the tubes are out and he has been out of bed (in a wheel chair). Things are coming along slowly, but they are coming. Looks like he will be moving to the rehab cneter pretty soon.

Dirtslide made it down to the computer at the hospital today and is thankful for all the kind words. We only hope that he can make it to NABX. We will carry on without him but D'sliddy is the unintentional spiritual head of our community. The only person I know who is so passionate he has NABX and now Li'l Joe tatooed on his leg ! :yes:KC38 is so far ahead of us that he can take time off to get recoupe and still be better than everyone here at anything he puts his mind to. :thumbup:

P.S. Dirtslide IS a great kite flier but the Reflex kite helps to make it more easy to stunt fly like that.

Thanks for the plug BR. Don't love thar crinkly sound of new kites?
Someone put a comment on the video that he must of put a lot of hours into to get to that skill level. I can not think of anyone who spends more time with a kite in the air than Ken, at least anyone who has a job and a family. There are some who are faster in buggy, some who can jump higher on a board, some who can out fly him static, but none who do it all with his style.
