guys holding hands?


Is this too weird?
S







Is it possible to design for strength, if the designer doesn't really understand what strength is?

I guess, if flying one handed with a bar is a challenge for you. ;)

I believe it's accepted practice if you don't want to spring for the baton to pass back and forth.

Some people go the extra mile and spring for the flaming torch to pass back and forth.

However, I believe there is a slight uptick in insurance premiums for the latter.

Yes, that's a little weird. A high five next time would be far more appropriate :D Or pass the gopro.

John, been doing high fives for years, we were looking for something new. We've already done the two GoPro/kite pass. We thought of the high and low fives at the same time, but after watching that dog pee on Dirtside's handles, I don't put my strop in my teeth.
S

ps I need to thank Dirtslide for having enough confidence in my abilities that he allows me to fly that close, upwind of him, while holding on to a fixed bridle kite with one hand. For those thinking of trying this, practice high fives going towards each other for a while first.
