And dont discard the core of the bridle, use it to make  "pull offs" !

They really help in the cooler weather especially if your fingers are more like thumbs !

#92354 Hi from the UK.

Posted by oapbillf on 09 April 2013 - 02:19 AM

Hi Steve,

 

All that Stone in Shoe Bob states is very good advice ! without him as my mentor and others on Dunstable Downs I would be

way behind the learning curve !

 

Blackheath, Sunday 10.30  onwards and the same at Dunstable Downs will usually catch Revs in action but with the

up and coming festivals some fliers will be away, see the calender link. http://www.kitecalendar.co.uk/

 

 

We have a new Rev flier on the Downs, Mark, not a member yet but I keep nagging him, and after only a couple of weekends

his skill set has improved with a few tips from the rest of us!

#92199 B-Series PRO Colorizer

Posted by oapbillf on 23 March 2013 - 07:05 AM

Hi Watty,

Thanks for the info ! you are right with  XP running IE8.

 

I was only playing with the colorizer, having recently recieved a Revopolo UL I cannot justify another new Rev just yet !  

 

My computer will be dropped from a great height onto a hard surface as soon as my son buys me a new one, It always seems to do what it wants rather that what it,s told !

#91135 Upgrade coming!

Posted by oapbillf on 19 December 2012 - 09:41 AM

Stroke survivor, I am with you regarding being logged in, but not smileys!

As soon as I go to the forum I find that I am logged in!
I can log out OK and go to other sites then return to the forum and find that I am logged in again!
I do not save passwords and have used tools to delete any possible saved items, the forum is the only site where this is occuring and has only started in the last few days!
I can even turn off and restart my confuser (thats what I call it) and I still find I am logged in!

Looking at who is actually logged in shows some members are on for many hours!

When I have looked at different posts today the smileys have only been in code but on Stroke Survivors previous reply they are visable!

Is it me or the upgrade screwed things up?

Bill
