[Ben's Farewell]

Gasp! Say it isn't so?!

I wish Ben all of the best in the world with his new endeavors! I hope he will remain connected with the Rev community and come flying with us every now and then! Miss You, Ben!!!!

[Wildwoods International Kite Festival 2014]

I don't think he's on this Rev Forum, but "Alloyjared" had gotten some really great shots from the Festival...

[Wildwoods International Kite Festival 2014]

Once Again, it was another awesome festival! I never fail to appreciate ALL of the wonderful fliers in my life, old friends and new! The best part of the festival for me was finally being able to fly WITH my friends this time! While I'm not ready for primetime, I never fail to learn every time I'm in the sky with you all. Everyone who has been kind enough to take me under their wing has taught me something valuable and I always endeavor to take your advice! I am also deeply grateful to those who offered me a place to stay, and all those who had bought custom stakes from me… you entirely made my trip possible! THANK YOU! My only regret (and it's the same regret I have every time), is that I did not get to spend enough time with everyone. The weekend just flies by way too fast! Here's hoping we meet again on a field or beach SOON!

[A new Masterpiece artist and a brother....... (Alden Miller)]

Everything you said is utterly true, Ben! Alden is a mighty gem in our family! SO Thrilled to see some Alden Masterpiece Kites!!!!!! (and I hope these are the first of many) This Rocks Most Highly!

[The humble ground stake]

PMs sent. We'll get this straightened out, Sky!

[Ben says: Im really liking this design......]

I can't wait to see one of these! Super Cool!

[The humble ground stake]

I've been making some really nice stakes of late. If anyone is interested, I am selling them here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/LeshockArts Past designs can be viewed in the link on the left side of the page right under the ratings.

I will most definitely make custom color combinations upon request, and I should let you all know that I intend on being at the Wildwood Festival this year. If you would like me to make something for you, please let me know!

[Wildwoods International Kite Festival 2014]

Alrighty, a dear friend has made me an offer (my eternal gratitude to you!). So… car willing, I plan to be there!

Edit: Oh! Hey, if anyone wants me to create a custom kite stake for them, I'll be glad to bring it to the Festival with me. If you want to take a peek at current and past creations, look here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/LeshockArts

[Wildwoods International Kite Festival 2014]

Awwwww, Rich! You're not going to be there this year??? Pouts!!! Thanks always for the kind support.

Worst case scenario for me will be driving down for one of the days (car willing). I hated missing last year, and I hate missing all of my flying friends!

[Nat'l Cherry Blossom (kite) Fest]

I was so saddened to see it was a total rainout this year. Dang Weather!!! Looks like you all made a great time of it though! Hooray!

[Wildwoods International Kite Festival 2014]

Crossing fingers and hoping I'll be there. If anyone has a spare couch I could crash on, please let me know.

[MIKE/MASC 2014]

I'm in the process of having my car worked on in hopes of making Wildwood, so sadly I don't see MIKE happening right now. :/ I am still hoping for Sunfest however. I want to get to OC this year!!!

[Lines for Rev SLE 1.5 for beginner]

I totally agree that 120s should be your next choice! Always grab the opportunity to fly with others when you can! Even using 120s on your own, the slowed down feel of the kite is a great lesson in the control department!

[New REV Indoor for Scott Weider]

Very Cool! I love bringing aspects of nature into kite flying. No doubt Scott will do awesome things with this Rev!

[Keeping the Ghouls at bay!]

Such a cooooool design! I really love that series.

[Just Cool]

I've family moving to New York over the next while so it'd be really nice to get the opportunity to get to fly with local flyers i.e. Rev Riders at Liberty State Park, with that incredible backdrop in the distance. ~ Chris

Murph, you definitely should hook up with The Jersey Crew when your family moves to New York!

[Happy Birthday Laura]

Happy Birthday, Laura! I hope you had a Most Awesome Day!

[Global Rev Count.]

Does that put you at 8, Carolyn?

Yes it does!

[180Go Now an Official Revolution Team]

Woo Hooo! Congrats guys and gal!!! You've always been a wonderful team and I'm happy to see you get the recognition!

[Global Rev Count.]

OMG, I knew I was forgetting something important! It's been unfortunately way too long since I've had a new Rev, but someone who absolutely rocks gifted me with this SWEET Shook recently!

Thank You! Thank You!! Thank You!!!...

[New York Minute Is Alive]

Woo Hoo! Can't wait to see more! It's a sharp looking Rev, I'm happy to see that it wasn't a one-off!

[Diamonds, diamonds, diamonds, are a Rev fliers best friend......]

Rich, aka "The Pusher", brought some to our fly the other weekend and the standard commentary from each of us was "Oh My God!". Hehehe! I'm so happy to hear that they're in production!

[Happy Birthday TK]

Happy Birthday, TK!!!

[Old Friend - FOUND!]

My first Rev was almost a Rev 1. I found one in a kite shop and had noooo idea how they were flown, so I didn't purchase it. Then I saw iQuad in Wildwood flying 1.5s and I was done. That was it for me! I still have that kite and fly it frequently. It's as thin as tissue paper, but I still love it!
