Wow why is it i find these videos like 5-10 yrs after they been posted. today i have only just discovered the Rev kites and they look awesome in skilled hands. Im so wanting to get one now and learn. I think this hover video should be further down the play list rather than being the first. Thanks for the videos.
Thanks for teaching me the basics John! 0:40 upright hover 1:59 Right/Left Hover Principals: Controlling your trim, controlling your forward and reverse, pulling the upper most edge of the kite towards you
I'm just now getting into kiting as therapy for brain surgery and have a 2.2m quad foil in my rowing stable. I was into my 4th day of playing with it in 10-25 mph winds and videoing and was actually finding myself doing these same things with that foil while figuring out how to use the brakes. Flying backwards with the foil was an accomplishment! Thanks for the videos as they sure do help!
I purchased one of these in 1991 in Daytona FL. and never was able to get it off the ground. It drove me crazy not being able to fly it. Now after watching this I'm pretty sure I can. The video that came with the kite would never work so I put things away since thinking someday I would try again. This is a great demo, so thank you. I did buy the best kite at the time and it's still like new.
Iv known about stunt kites my entire life, but jsut today i found out about what they can actually do. When i was younger i had a plastiv 5$ walmart one... All i could do was right and left loops and i thought thats all they could do. This is so amazing.
@jazzbunney2233 : This is the B-Series Pro, it's a mid-size kite at about 7+ feet... The Zen is roughly 9 foot wingspan, the Rev II (and soon the B-2) is closer to 6 feet.
@GiannottiKites: My pleasure to distribute this info! There are 11 more tutorials already available in the Kitelife subscriber area (Portuguese translations coming). :) kitelifeDOTcom/forum/index.php?app=downloads&showcat=106
Muito bom esses novos tutoriais. Vou poder melhorar meus voos aqui no Brasil com essas lições do John.......Parabens pelas informações passo a passo dos videos...Continuem sempre asssim e bons ventos para voces ai nos EUA. Carlos Giannotti/Brasil/São Paulo/Vila Mariana.
@dilliot2k : I don't think there is ANYTHING better than a Revolution, at least that's my personal experience over 20 years... What you see me flying is the B-Series by Revolution, easily found with a little Google searching... For help with choosing a model, I'd suggest a visit to the Revolution forum ( revkites dot com / forum ) - lots of friendly folks there, all happy to answer questions.
@Chikokishi Aye, they're pretty cool... You might also check out learnkitesDOTcom, as well as the forum at revkitesDOTcom, lots of good info at both. Regards, keep exploring! :)
I have a quad that’s the same as a paraglider with the ram air system. Oh it’s also for kite surfing lol. They are amazing I just went out in decent winds and it nearly pulled me off the ground lol. Maybe a 3.5m wide ram air kite was a bit big hahahahaha
