Noob here
I skydive and for my birthday i got a prism snapshot 2.5 I thought it was a good idea and would be a little bit of fun for a while. I took it
outside and holy crap lol. These things are a blast and I got a lil baby kite compared to most. Only flew it for about 30 minutes and my entire body
is sore and i'm not in bad shape. I got about 10-15 mph winds right now. The first few flights i thought that the kite was defective because it kept
crashing  anyway just had to hop on the internets and find a forum. Happy kiting |

I've got a couple of buggy-building customers in Ardmore. Haven't head from them in a while; maybe I can scare them up...
