Would love to get hold of an Ozone R1 6mtr V1. Even a damaged one I could repair. The V2 and 3 are too delicate for the rough surface of the salt lakes I buggy on.

I'd add an Ozone R1 21mtr (V1, V2 or V3) to the list if it's cheap enough and there is a damaged one out there that size too.

Speed 5 18m. Done!
Soul is high on the list. 9m Phantom 1. Pretty darn close to more kites than I know what to do with...

Just pulled the trigger on the remaining kites in the NS4 quiver! Couldn't help myself. :o

I am getting them with z-bridles for intended four-line-handled flying, my preferred way to fly NasaStars. Whupp!

He was lost, but now he's found. You must be Born again...

If I correctly remember his marriage contract, Steve now has to sell as many kites as he is buying. So Steve, remember your friends.....:D Or are these contraband kites smuggled into the country and delivered to the office or friends house????

Ha! Good one. Thing is I just sent Ed my 1.5m NS3. It was custom made for me and easily counts for as much as three stock kites so I think I just went N + 3 - 1(3) = 0. :evil:

Just heard from a fellow Born enthusiast buddy in NZ that Steffen has a 14m RS+ in the works. Whupp! :saint:

Mine too, and specifically thinking about it for your beautiful OR shoreline. Not sure how much use I'd have for it on Ivanpah. Now that I've been to Ivanpah about a half dozen times I seem to gather the impression that it tends to blow not a bit or too hard for that kite.

The single time I flew with you in OR I had the 11m RS in the air one day and wanted more kite; a 14m RS+ would have been sweet that day! You were racing by me with some big beautiful kite that day.

What I heard more specifically is that Steffen has it "on his computer" which I suppose means it is in the design phase but not yet physically prototyped. Read a long way off still.

Pulling the trigger on Sysmic S3 as we speak, so to keyboard. :bird:

w/the trispoke hubs on std. tyres.

I already got 3 nice midi XL's (2 asymmetric rims for rear). Current buggy has to go back to barrows it came with.

The tri-spoke set will then be for travels and reserves. Much lighter than mXL's too, can be interesting...

That's awesome!!

Please show us a video, or at least some pictures of folding it up, and how big of a package it requires when folded. I'm really interested in these, but want to know if it will fit in the trunk of my car, if it will fit in a suitcase, and how long it takes to fold/unfold. I would have to import it so cost may be fairly high. If I could take it on a plane I could go to some of the buggy meets I've wanted to attend.

He**, yeah. I'm crazy anxious to see this myself, hope to get it before fri 13 sept, because I have the whole week after off from work

Curious to how it is to ride, as well as the packing. The packing down small is the feature I bought it for - nothing wrong with the v-max.

Outstanding that folks are starting to look seriously at the S3 and in fact pulling the trigger! Personally, all I need to do is swallow a tape worm and wait six months or so for it to grow and start eating its meals that I've been consuming for so many years. :evil:

That kinda made me remember what our in-house wise old man once said about buggies & food, still valid...

The Ride



The Price



Rather disappointingly, I got an e-mail early this morning from Chris@Sysmic, that they don't have the bloody thingamajig in stock, so it's gonna be more than a month before I get it. Maybe the snow then, arrives before the buggy - boohoo, cry, wail...

Well, after last weekend gonna have to do me some more shopping, just picked up a 12m Ozone Access. Me and 2 boys, can't get it out of their hands. Gonna have to do some saving, get another depower foil for sure, and a buggy, and a new buggy rack, and a bigger car......
