KiteLife

Bringing back an old poll with a more complete list of kites, pick a few of your favorite Revs, imagining that you have your choice of wind, frame and lines for each one... Ideal set up, ideal conditions - what do you think? Let me know if a kite is not included and needs to be considered for the list... Must be either Revolution made or officially licensed. Must be from a generally available line of Revs, past or present. Color and print (non-aerodynamic) variations don't count.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are pleased to announce the third iteration of what is now an annual event in conjunction with the World Kite Museum in Long Beach, WA to be held this year on March 19th through the 21st. The West Coast Rev Clinic III! (3rd annual) If you are a RevGuild member, please look for discounted Clinic registration links in our club forum... $15 off individual registration, $25 off couple and parent/child fees... RevGuild membership is $35 per year, so just 2 or 3 clinics will more than cover the average Clinic registration fee, as well as provide a 15% discount at The Kite Shoppe. If you're not a RevGuild member yet, you can find more info by clicking here. == <form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"><input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick"><input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="99FR42YZYT9M2"><table><tr><td><input type="hidden" name="on0" value="Registration Type">Registration Type</td></tr><tr><td><select name="os0"><option value="Individual">Individual $75.00</option><option value="Couple">Couple $125.00</option><option value="Parent/Child">Parent/Child $125.00</option></select> </td></tr><tr><td><input type="hidden" name="on1" value="Skill Level">Skill Level</td></tr><tr><td><select name="os1"><option value="Novice">Novice </option><option value="Intermediate">Intermediate </option><option value="Advanced">Advanced </option></select> </td></tr></table><input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD"><input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1"></form> RevGuild members can sign up here - http://www.revguild....p?showtopic=141 NOTE: There is a cap of 30 participants for this event, so sign up early! In addition to the regular 3-day Clinic content, we hope also to secure an indoor venue for Friday night, if so, this will only be available to paid Rev Clinic participants and instructors. Friday will be an "open" 1/2 day with no curriculum or classes, as we understand it's tough for anyone to get a full weekday free... It'll be casual, one-on-one for anyone who can make it, then the real fun and classwork will begin on Saturday morning. == The nearest hotel to the Rev Clinic: Edgewater Inn 409 Sid Snyder Dr SW - Long Beach, WA (360) 642-2311 / (800) 561-2456 Other nearby lodging: Our Place At The Beach ($54-$130), 800-538-5107 Rip Tide ($49-$99), 800-214-1379 Mermaid Inn Motel ($58-$128), 800-676-2601 Historic Sou'wester Lodge, Cabins ($59-$194), 360-642-2542 Rodeway Inn and Suites ($60-$135), 800-753-3750 Discovery Coast Cottage Inn ($45-$199), 877-642-2613 Cedars Ocean View Inn ($68-$279), 800-219-9833 == NOTE: One thing we'll be doing differently this year is dividing groups into NOVICE, INTERMEDIATE and ADVANCED (based on a specified set of Rev skills) so that we can keep things moving along for everyone, no matter where you're coming from... Additionally, we'll be trying to do the same for the team portions as well, including a period of focus on the Grid format of Rev mega team flying. == If you plan on attending, please post below and let us know so we can add your name to the tentative list of participants!

Please, please, please... If you're a frequent regular Rev forum user, take a look at this discussion on Kitelife! http://kitelife.com/forum/index.php?/topic...dpost__p__23380 == That's new discussion, etc, since the last time this came up (in June)... http://www.revkites.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=3224 == I think Jeepster is a great example of initial resistance to the change in format, and ultimately coming around to the improvements... <<fast forward 5 months>> The Rev forum is long overdue for an upgrade... Not only for general security (script weaknesses), but also to make our job easier as admins. On Kitelife, no spammers get through the registration process... On Rev, our admins have to personally review and delete 1-10 spammer registrations per day. So, this is your chance to take a look at the skins we have available to us (sampled on the KL forum), and to put in your 2 cents for the direction of the Rev forum. At the moment, I'm inclined to use the default format we have on Kitelife right now... Although it's different, it really does work very well.

I've just uploaded and linked a Spanish translation of the Rev Basic Techniques in PDF format, as prepared by Gustavo Di Si.... Hopefully this will be a big help, we certainly appreciate the significant time and effort put forth by Senor Di Si to bring this project to fruition, thank you mi hermano de barriletes! The translated version can be downloaded from any of the six Techniques pages on this site (linked above), enjoy!

We'll do our best to keep this list updated with any new additions to the Kitelife publication which have to do with quadline flying and maintainence.
