check this out fellas...............

those guys are NUTS. I remember seeing a video with a guy with that kite awhile back and thought "huh... must be kite jumping back in the day..." LOL!

"hey maw.... watch'is"

i have to agree with the others-beamer 3m was my first power kite as well.......even though i have some lifty kites,i have decided to put in alot of time with my legend 5.5.......once i know it inside and out,i'll try something else.....i think it may be awhile before i break out the 4m blade 3 as i'm almost 50 ,and even though im in great shape,i really dont need any broken bones/or WORSE......i've only been flying a few months now,but one great thing about this forum is that one can learn from those with more experience.......i'm glad for it,as the advice has more than likely saved me injury as well as enhanced my appreciation and enjoyment of this wonderful sport.........:singing:

GEO, you are obviously old enough to let reason seep into your thoughts. You probably have decades of happy kiting ahead of you. I hope we all do.

Was looking up the HQ Beamer on ebay just there. They seem to be very good value for such a highly reccommended kite. 100 pounds sterling delivered brand new which equates to about 115euro or $140. Dont think i can go too wrong there. I did addmittedly make a drunken stupid mistake llast night. I ordered some kite (Brookite) from ebay for about $70 new. Dunno what i was thinking but sure I could always use a second one if one of the lads come along. Im murder for going online drunk! Anyway, Ill let you know when i get it and give you my opinion, thanks again!

just had a look -- i sure hope you don't end up getting rock crystals in the mail!!!
