This is a first time for me at this event but after watching so many of my friends talk so highly about it I figured I'd better see what it's all about, so
"my bags are packed and I'm ready to go"........ Oh yea it's Brookings Or. by the way...... Ben

Wicked, see you soon!

I was only able to stay for Saturday. The winds were light, the sun was out, the sky was clear and lots of friends all around. The Revs were out in force and for the first time Ben was in Brookings to cheer them on.

We even saw JB & JD fly dual line, plus Steve flew two Revs at the same time what will iQuad come up with next. Amy & Connor were great as usual.

Thanks to everyone who attended and flew, it was great

The one of JB teaching Samantha to fly revs is cool. Thx John

Brookings is just such a cool event. Missed it for a few years and now we're back and hope to keep that going for some time, as we love it. The crowds are great and with them so close, it gives a very special feel to flying there. Ben flew a couple of demos and had a blast and the whole family were sad we had to leave!!

Oh, I love both dual and quad dearly... Fun (and somewhat irritable) discussion on this actually, over at GWTW.

I get into it (and how) closer to the end. LOL

If they only knew you, They would know

That was part of the reason I took that photo, but decided to leave GWTW alone

All they gotta do is say hello, it's easy to throw pies from the stands.

I'm most interested in my Sunday morning routine with the Shiva, flown to Prince...

Had a lot of fun, would love to see it from the outside.

This turned up on YouTube...



Wind was light, on short (90') lines.

People still fly dual line kites


The only time i see 'em flying at a festival is when lam is there

[Kitelife]

Oh hush JD, I saw you fly a couple of dual line demos yourself.

More people flying duallys??? What's this world coming to??? I've been told my old dual lines are getting jealous of the time I'm spending with Revs!

Wow, I actually read that whole thread on GWTW, I think somebody needs to dig up that vid with the yellow silverfox and the 1.5 doing team flying together just to get the the air cleared, and poke a little fun at the hostilities that some of those people on there seem to harbor. I think it was JB and Steve DeRoy flying in it.

Steve and I have both been looking for that dual/quad video for quite some time, if you find it please let us know.
