Now if only we could get them to do a run in either Black/Gold (not yellow)/Grey Black/Red/Grey or Dark Grey/Orange/Red ATB, Sam

Didn't the Access come with Black/Red/Grey as a standard color last year?

Anyway, I've got a 4m Access in the pink/black/grey and I think it looks awesome. Plus its somewhat unique.....hadn't even heard of another one until now.

Color might not really matter. But I think it matters quite a bit in some ways. Would you say that the color of your car doesn't matter.....only performance? I don't think so.

It seems hard to believe that Ozone wouldn't have the bulk of the 2010's in dealers hands for another two months.

Is color really that big of a deal? I say NO. IMO, I have never heard that the blue kite fly's better than the red one. I would be happy just to have the kite.
And on a second note, I bought my truck for the engine, that's right, "PERFORMANCE", not color.
I think the addiction is taking over, I need another kite, any size, any color, any make, but I want it now!!!!

Yes.... that would probably be fine... if John hadn't posted a review of a 2010 6M Access XT (early demo release) that not only made it sound like it hung the moon, but rearranged all the stars to maximize the state of celestial Feng Shui. :wow:

ATB,
Sam

big kid, would you have bought your big powerful truck if it was painted florescent pink?
But they say pink is the new black, so we can all expect tdmc96 to show up in pink Harley leathers soon.

Color isn't a deal breaker, and definitely takes a back seat to performance, construction, ease of use, field serviceability, and a long list of other things.

However, I don't see a problem with having a color preference. If you pick clothes out of the closet blindfolded or by scent (ewwww) .... cool. Otherwise chalk it up to YMMV and do what makes you happy. Just not a topic to get denominational about.....

As to cars/trucks..... I guarantee you there are colors where people got a bargain because that was the only way they were going to move them off the lot. There are certainly vehicle colors you haven't seen since the 1970's and in some cases, for very, very good reasons.

Color schemes that have gotten kudos (other than from me) on the forum:

• Libre Radical 6M - Black / Yellow (currently in a Pass The Kite)
  
• Wolkensturmer Electra 4.6M - Black / Gold
  
• Mac Bego 600 (Second Wind's) - Fluorescent Green / Purple / Red
  
• Reflex 2M - Red / Black (bolt)
  

ATB,
Sam

I am perfectly content with my feminine side and a pink truck would have been fine, 600+ HP looks good in any color
Both of my pink kites were borrowed by my grand daughter and I have yet to get them back.

indigo_wolf, I agree, sometimes you just want what you want.
Who knows the pink might be a color that is highly desirable in the future.

I did get my quiver of Century II's in the color I wanted, Blue, not Red. LOL

Never has the English language composed a more dangerous sentiment. :wow:

Dude get the pink kite...:bigok:

I have had customers cancel orders before, because i did not have the color they wanted. Even so far as a person wants a certain brand / model kite, but they don't like the colors so they go with something else. So this definitely shows people care about colors. I'm not saying all people, but people do care.

I'm not too picky on colors, but I know its nice when I throw up a kite and it doesn't have the usual white on the bottom.

Right about now I would take a Charger in that puke green and yellow colour. I want one that bad !:Ange09:

Hey Blade I'm right there with you on that one! But I might wait, cause I want it in Red:D

So the pink kite will be shipped either today sometime or tomorrow morning. I was digging around on the internet trying to find a image of the kite without any luck. After an hour of searching I decided to check out flyozone.com. I couldn't find an image there either; however, I decided that maybe if I sent Ozone a message about this kite, that maybe someone from their team would be able to put me in the right direction.

This was the series of messages sent:
(From Me)
"Hi! I recently have accepted an offer to purchase a 2010 Ozone Access XT 6m kite. The color scheme is of one that I have never seen before pink,gray, and black. I thought that I would dig around to see if I could find a picture of this kite but with no luck. I have found the access xt in the other color schemes that you have listed on your website and on other websites. I was told that this was a limited run or some sort of promotional color. Either way I understand that this will be a rare color, so I was more than happy to accept it as my order. So I was wondering if someone from your team would be able to point me in the direction of an image of a 2010 model that is in this color. I understand if you cannot offer any help with this matter. I will not be receiving this kite in the mail for a couple weeks and just getting anxious. If you can help me it will be greatly appreciated."

Thank You
Colton Sauve

(From Ozone rep)
"Hi Colton, this kite was issued as a special for schools, can you please let me know where you are buying the kite?"

I replied with a simple message stating that I was not aware of this situation and that by no means did I intend on having anyone get into trouble for selling something that they were not suppose to. I left it at that waiting to see what he replies with.

I don't want to cause trouble for the guy I bought my kite from, so I am kinda nervous to tell him who I bought it from. By no means was getting him in trouble a part of my plan. If I new that it was gonna go this way, I woulda just left it alone. Kinda lost with this one, so I'm turning to you guys for thoughts on what you would do.

Leave the country, change your name and swear everyone on the forum to secrecy.... some bribes might be involved.

Not sure there is a graceful way to retract the request.

Probably should have contacted the dealer for a pic, but that's hindsight and a lot of carrots. Probably still best to give the dealer a heads up and let him iron out the etiquette wrinkles.... I don't see anyone getting gigged to hard on this.

Ozone posts there custom kites in their Media section [ http://media.flyozone.com/main.php?g2_itemId=20837 ] (need to cut and paste the link... direct hyperlinking doesn't work) , but they don't post all of their customs or limited runs there.

Black Helicopters with understated Ozone logos have been dispatched to your location.

ATB,

thats funny ... westcoast canadians must like the Red / Black colours. My pre-orders all happen to be in green right now. :saint:

ill remember to put you down for BLUE. :P

for the record, I wanted my Vapors in Pink at first ... but Carien got her pick first. so i had to settle for my usual Red / Black.

PINK IS THE BEST!!!

The PEEL just arrived
Pink and black is the new pink and black ! :smug: This thing is as pink as black can get!

CRAZY aspect ratio to. Does anybody know what the aspect ratio is ?

Now the new Twister, that's Red and Black .

You're gonna love that Peel Ken, it mey look girlie to some but the pull is totally HOOJ!! It is the ferrari enzo of two lines.... :singing:

Ohhh, the pink....it looks so good in the sky...kind of like a faded read...I'm in!

But, as my luck would have it all three of my power kites, the ones that I built my basic kite bag up from, are BLUE and, of course, white...sheesh...what's a girl to do?!

Now finally the trend will be broken with the upcoming green PL Hornet. :bigok:

Some day I will have the cash and the luxury to get the colours that I want in a kite but for the time being function wins over fashion.

Hello from Turkey,

COOL post a pic

Here's a pic of a pink Manta in MN. I think it looks cool. Pink Access would be sweet as well.



Never mind the guy in his boxers. It was warm that day he had to strip down to avoid overheating.. I've seen people wear more water kiting! Crazy MN kiters..

Ah, that wouldn't be Bryce by any chance would it??? He shoulda been wearing a cape to go along with that....:singing:

Bryce it is! Wild man. His gore-tex onesie was too much that day. I think he's bringing back the one piece, I wish I had one!

Dude I remember at the end od last season my bros and I were at the local hill's last day for the year. It was +9c that day. We did three runs without shirts. Probably would have sucked if we bailed but it was a good time. That manta looks exactly like my access. I love the color scheme. Wish that once I get more kites I could somehow track down a 11m Frenzy and maybe if I'm feeling rich a 10 or 12 manta with the same scheme. Don't know why but IMO it would be awesome to have a complete set of foils in same colors. Hope you enjoy your access kiralikceset this is the only depower I've flown yet and I love it.

Cheers
Shaggs
