First day flying a Revolution Kite (Rev 1.5 SLE). This was not my first time flying a quad lined kite. Filmed at Riverview Park in Mesa, AZ. Video: Grant Francis Pilots: Michael & Jeff
Awesome places to fly, especially the pond. Messed around with some big heavy dual-lines back in the day and, just getting back into kites, ordered a Rev. I went to the Berkeley Kite Fest and got on here and saw folks like Barresi working it and had to have one. Nice skills, nice doggy, nice vid!
You did better than I did on my first flights with my SLE this year! Poor thing beat herself into the ground it made MY head hurt! My daughter lives in Goodyear and when I come visit next year I'll be bringing my pack of flying things with me! When I figure out how to edit I'll be putting my times up with a Snapshot, Jazz, HQ, Qulon 2.2m quad line foil that drags my little old butt all over the place, and yes the SLE and a new full vent which I know is coming by Santa Express! Of course my paraglider is the biggest "kite" in the Stable and South Mountain is on my list of things to do! Believe it or not everything except the paraglider fits in it. Love the way you carry your stable! Blue Sky's and Safe Journeys
Nice! Which model? If I were to offer some unsolicited advice it would be: 1. Equalize your lines before every flight! 2. Don't fly in high winds! 3. Ask questions 4. Have fun!
Great vid... I Just have single line kites at the min & some pretty big impressive ones..... Stunt Kite next with two lines & eventually one of them in the vid. Gotta walk before I can run, lol! Btw nice doggi too! 😎 😁
New Rev kites are pricey. Every kite I have was purchased used. Lines, handles, and Kite can go for around $200 on Ebay if you get lucky. Worth the investment!
Austin Wait till you fly one , No other can preform the same way ,name any other kite that can take off and land in same spot ? Worth every penny in British price .

Revolution Kite should send you a free kite just for the amount of time that went into editing this video. Very nice!
Really nice video. Everything about it looks professional.
I bought my first Revolution kite, so looking forward to learning how a 4 line kite flies! 🙂

Adjust brake lines 👍
@@swashbucklingadventures9929 I agree!
That piece of plywood swinging back there on the crane... yikes.
Thanks for sharing !

Lovely vid mate
That puppy though.. Anyway the video was amazing!
Beautifully edited! Is that Prism's Jazz at the end?
Thank you!
That is my first stunt kite, Prism Nexus.
Cool vid, next time the kite goes into the water treat it as wind and fly right out!

How many first times
There can only be one.
Hi which do you prefer? This or a regular stunt e.g. prism nexus etc.?
Openyourmind I prefer quad lined kites mainly because I have more time on them. People who can make their dual lined kites tumble are amazing.
Too bad these are rediculously expensive
New Rev kites are pricey. Every kite I have was purchased used. Lines, handles, and Kite can go for around $200 on Ebay if you get lucky. Worth the investment!
You can buy some amazing ones from Ocean Shores kites and from oceanshoreskites.com about $240 ready to fly. Freliens.
Rafael, your kites look AMAZING! Nice work, keep it up!

Don,t believe it 🤔🤔
First rev kite purchase, first time seeing a rev in person. Flew Chinese kites for a couple of months prior, they were all horrible.
