Yeah Yuri you need to spraypaint your logo over when you sell your kites. Unless Lenten or Hadlow buys your kite.

When i was in elementary school I was coming back from using the bathroom during class. Someone else had thrown a stink bomb. I had no idea what one even looked like but of course, I got blamed for it cause i was in the wrong place at the wrong time. having my logo on a kite that gets trashed downwind and starts WW3 would only be typical of the way things seem to go for me. So it somehow doesnt bother me. :)

Ha Ha, yeah I saw the guy go unhooked last weekend at the launch at Sherman with your logo on it. Then today I saw T's kite (the one with the bone) and I thought she was kiting drunk! Your logo's used to be safe to kite around :).

Yeah, Erin's got the idea,

I think they said something about going down further south along the Central coast. So if they go to Pismo and do a kitemare, the next time you and Tianna drive down there, coastal kiters might mistake you for those beginner dudes.

well, i think yuri can luanchand land a kite with his kite in the air..
we all do it from time to time

Not the best idea for a beginner.
But for experienced kiters, when doing this the launcher should do ALL the work so the helper can just focus on his/her kite. This includes setting the kite on edge at the side of the window and then jogging back to the bar. The helper should definately not flip the kite during launch or landing!!!

truck launching works great at race track and that's the only place. otherwise its heavy bag for self launch but that sucker won't wrap up my lines either
