So since the little accident last week I've decided to sell off some of the FB collection, most have been hardly flown and only have maybe 3-4 hours on them. I won't be able to fly these for another couple months anyway so it's time to move them on.

Here we go:


Spiderkites Lycos 2.5: This is more of a speed foil than power kite, but when the wind picks up it will really drag you around. Dual line kite. Comes KO with manpurse. More info here: http://www.spiderkites-shop.de/epages/62502321.sf/en_GB/?Obj...

SOLD.



I can get more pics if necessary but do keep in mind my foot is busted so it may take me a day or two.



Any questions/interest/comments feel free to U2U.

thanks,
Mike

I totally missed what happed, did you get injured?

Yep. I didn't post up the story yet out of embarassment. :embarrased:

short version: got unintentionally lifted ~15 ft., let go of handles, crushed left heel bone when I landed. Ouch. 5-6 week recovery time.

Don't worry, it wasn't the Scorpion.

OUCH!!
Just glad to hear you are still able to tell the story!!!!
Hope you heal up soon bud!!

dang man i'm sorry to hear that. i hope you get a quick recovery. another buddy of mine broke his leg on friday getting accidentally lofted. he sent me the picture and you can see the bone sticking out....so crazy

What the heck is going on out there? Injuries on the rise or what?

Crushed heel bone sucks. Scarecrow took a fall climbing years ago and crushed both his. The had to make some new bone out of a piece of his pelvis to replace some of the shattered heel.

Good luck Smeagle, hope you heal up quick.

Geez...that's one of the things I busted (actually shattered into a million pieces) when I crashed into the side of a mountain paragliding...I call it my pimp walk now
..but the good thing is it caused me to find kitesurfing

Anyways...enough about me...hope you heal up quick...and nice field!!!

Thanks for all the well wishes guys. I'll go post up the full story with pics soon as I get home.

Smeagol, dude,... Get better,...

I really need to stop looking at the for sale section of this forum,... I REALLY want that Reactor,... But alas, I have NO $$

You know you want it. Heh.

Oh, I forgot to mention I'll trade towards a 6.8 Viper S. Been wanting that one awhile now.

That 5.5 ReactorII has been my go to kite for a few months now. Great wing!! Nice range for a FB, awesome upwind, nice low end grunt, smooth power build up, stable, and if you have the room to run....it's pretty quick! Turns fast (especially with brake input)

Not trying to get you to get it Spence but its one hell of a wing. Ill have mine at JIBE...hopefully you'll have yours too :D

Reduced some prices. Added pics of Rev.

Knocked some $ off the Rev.

The Vapor has been whispering my name!!!

U2U sent.

Excellent choice, and personal favorite colorset!

but its a good thing you didn't land on your tailbone........brain injuries can be debilitating!


In all seriousness its good to hear you will recover.........

and that lycos is still calling my name, a perfect match to the flexi I got from you last time!!!!!!

The Apollo you sold me is stretching my arms and drawing people from miles as well....


Must.........be..............strong..............!!!!!!!

Trying to engineer another competition interest in a different hobby and your making it difficult!


Must ............. be...................strong!!!!!!!!!!!!!
