Favourite Kite

I own many diffrent kites and dont just fly The Revolution kite.I have mastered mkf[multi kite flying]with two deltas at the same time.
Im also doing well at flying three kites at once.I fly my Revolutions mainly with TEAM4MATION and also fly team with lying Mothers.Flying Precision and syncro to music.
I also own and Occassionlly fly the odd slk[single line kite].I have around eight Revolution kites.All 1.5s,apart from a Sedgwick.Which i just cant get my head into at all.
I have a pair of Ignitor Deltas.I love flying these with pink fluffy tails on them.Simon especially likes these.Standing one hand on hip and the other aloft,,,,like a T Pot.
Flying a stack or pair of Spider stacks.Will probaly be my next mkf adventure.

Best Kite Experience

Thers a few,but for a variety of reasons.Mainly personal pleasure and acheivment.Ther in no particular order,
Siloth Kite festival i realy enjoyed so much.Both from a Rev pilots view and a social event with some great people.Realy did enjoy the easy layed back vibe.
Bri did us proud sorting the event hes sopported since it first began,years ago along with Dave and his Family.The people of Silloth are so freindly and welcoming.
Next would have tobe.A few months ago at Ainsdlae.Dave our usual caller had a sick note[walking in the lakes]and The Big lad stepped in the brech.The wind was perfect,the skys blue and we all flew our socks off.
Walking routines,stick practice and built a set of moves together.By the days end.We had the thing NAILED.Best weve flew i reckon.The practice and months of calling from Dave had realy drilled us.
The new strategy by Bri,focused us all.A great day.
Last but not least was.Flying in ZERO winds at Chester festival this year with the lads in TEAM4MATION.Not another kite in the sky,not another team or invited flyer could display and we flew our routine to james Bonds Mission impossible.
No wind flying realy is a game within a game.The lads wher awsome.Still dont know to this day.How we kept those B Series aloft.A great weekend for TEAM4MATION
Just also.I had a BDG when i flew Three kites together for the first time.That was cool.
