P.S. Dino, you can now justifiably poke fun at me for mentioning Ozone  .

Similar to a team rider. I represent them on here, at gatherings, and to people in general and they sell me my kites at a discount.

basically like a shop rider?
can you drive well? maybe you should try NABX, Eurocups or Worldcup to show your presence.
you might have to ditch the Flows though and size up from whatever Vapor I use on the Y.Gt to match me. most of the guys on the WC size up one from
the Vapors to keep up.

Racing not required. Just as well, since my only buggy is a PL Folding :D. I'm not out to push the performance envelope, my goal is to introduce new
people to the sport I love and my favorite brand of kites. If someone is willing to give me a discount on my gear to do that, it's a bonus!

Gee Maven, by the looks of your sig., you should have went for sponsorship last fall, before acquiring that awesome quiver. What more could you
possibly need, to get a discount on? Congrats on the ridership!

Congrats on you sponsorship. I feel your enthusiasm for ozone has now been rewarded and it is a wonderful match.
Don't knock your folder it gets a bad rap, it is very stable and balanced at high speed. It is very light and allows you to quickly accelerate, works
well in a smaller space. I have gone faster on my folder that I have on my Libre full race.

Nah. This is actually the avatar I was using originally, it's what I consider my default avatar. I use it almost everywhere. The other one
was pulled from a lol catz picture, but he was just too cute to resist. This one was created for me by a graphics designer (close friend of mine)
back in college. It's nice having my own personal logo :D.

I'm aiming for a full quiver of Methods at some point :shocked2:. I figure I'll start with the 6.5m since it doesn't overlap my Flows. Maybe some
large Yak GTs, if I'm really feeling rich .

Not really knocking it. But where in the heck would you put numbers on it? :puzzled:
