Reluctantly, I've decided to part with the Blade VIP, it's an awesome kite but I just rarely use it. I had visions (delusions?) of doing all these crazy jumps, etc. with it but it just hasn't happened yet. I think I'm just too old for that anyway.

Bought from Mogul here on the forum a few months back. I have probably only put 30 minutes on it. It's in essentially brand new condition.. same crisp, minty fresh condition as when I received it from him. Comes in nice Flexifoil backpack.

Definitely not recommended for new flyers, this beast is quite powerful/lofty and outright dangerous in inexperienced hands.

TRADED.

I'm open to trades/partial trades, but not really sure what I'm looking for. Maybe a decent depower of some type. I already have a nice set of Viper S's for the buggy, and a Twister IIR 5.6 if I really want to attempt jumps.

* stock image attached, working on pics but it basically looks exactly the same as it did when I received from Mogul. :tumble:

thanks,
Mike

FYI

U2U regarding possible trade sent your way...

is this gem is up for sale ?

Hi dirtslide... I confess that I couldn't resist this one and am taking the VIP. Mike (Smeagol) and I worked out a trade on Friday. His new kite is now enroute to him and I believe the VIP is being shipped out Monday. Jim

Yep, what Jim said.

It's been traded, and will ship out Monday.

thanks,
Mike

I should have jumped on this one the minute it was posted ,good work Jim for locking down a deal ,enjoy that bad boy.I dont really need another 8m kite but have always wanted the VIP .my loss ,must be getting old , a little slow on the draw .Hey Jim if you dont like that wing let me know i get dibbs .

@dirtslide... absolutely, if I get to point where I want to part with this one, you will be first on list. Will keep your ID around. Old is always relative to something, so I doubt you are getting any older than the rest of us. My local friends already think I am too old to be involved in this sport, but I just smile because I know what kind of fun they are missing out on. Have lost so many good deals because I wanted to "wait and think about it", and then when I decided I was ready, someone else had already pulled the trigger on the deal, so I decided not to wait on this VIP when opportunity came up. I sold another older Blade 8.5 within last couple of months and miss it, so I am really looking forward to getting this one. Thank you Mike for making this possible with a trade, because I have no money to spend on kites right now.

May the winds be just right for the VIP so you can enjoy that new wing my friend. Get a buggy and jump that Blade

@dirtslide... thanks for well wishes. I do plan to use the VIP for some static jumping and with a board. Funds are a bit tight right now (seems to be going around) or else I would love to have a buggy too. Nice buggy/Bullet combo currently listed by timel which has been tempting me...

couldnt get this monkey off my back so I bought a spanking new VIP today ,thanks Kent , .Gotta have that black and orange for halloween LOL.

Nice, enjoy it! :bigok:
