    Stunt kite flying

    Just thought i would tell you all about another little hobby that I do "stunt kite" flying. Sounds boring I know but I dont know if you have seen what people are doing with two lined delta stunt kites these days. If you go into that video site(not sure if I can mention the name) and type in Trick Kite Freestyle. You are looking for the video that has a duration of 3.38 and mentions Deep Space in the small print. Flown by a guy called Tim Benson, sit back and enjoy.

    I have about 10 kites now and been flying for about 2 years. The average wing span of my kites is 8 feet. I class my flying skill as intermediate working towards advanced as I am now progressing onto more complex combination moves. (Check out a move called Jacobs Ladder on that video site) So with the warm weather I have been out and about with the kites. Hope you enjoy the video and the others available.

    Here are a couple of pictures of my kites. The red one is a Prism Hypnotist, the one being flown upside down is a friends Jest of Eves Talon in a fade position, and the grey graphite kite is my Prism E3. All have 8 foot wingspans.

    As well as being fun its a great form of exercise. If anyone has any questions please ask away.

    Very cool Steve I'm into it as well. I've got the a delta wing, but my fav is my 9' ramair thunderfoil. I fly them at night on the beach with cylums tied to the tips. The prisms are nice would luv to add one to the collection!

      I have had a go on the foils, my brother has one. Man that is a different experience and should carry a health warning. I think Ill stick with my deltas, its safer. Ive just got myself a Prism Quantum pro which is the pride and joy of my fleet.
