mrdenny Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Bart,As John said, don't hesitate. If 180GO! attends Windscape please be sure to grab me. I always have time for lessons/tips/just flying together. If there's time on Friday before the fest, we'll give you some tips and then have you fly team with us. It's way fun! You guys are the best. You made me feel quite welcome at TI last year right from the start. Later, Mike came over where a few of us were flying joined right in and had us flying team stuff right off. A little warning. When Mike comes by and slaps you on the back and says "Nice Flying", He is really just putting an iQuad sticker on your back. (it finally wore off) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bartman Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Well, that is quite the road trip to be sure. Are you one of the two guys that drove out for it this year? They disappeared on Sunday before I got any kind of contact information from them. I also suggest you email the Gowans at the address I posted if you are interested in seeing some Rev Pros here for it. All the encouragement will help. I'm toying with the idea (well, almost have decided it will happen for sure) of having a burger BBQ here the Saturday night between the time the festival is "officially over" for the day and the time everyone will go back out and fly in the evening after eating. BYOB type thing. I'll supply the burgers and salads. It would be for all the Rev flyers that show up and a few others. I'm 5 minutes away from the area they have it. Needless to say, it would be very cool if you guys made it down. I should have about 3 months of good practice time before it happens so might get a bit further along. Might have even more if the weather here would be less winter like! I've also arranged for at least one, possibly two, of my friends who are semi-pro photographers (they could be pro if they wanted to, but they don't want to go there with it yet) to come down and photograph the whole festival both days. They haven't done any kind of kite photography, but really want to see what they can come up with. I think they plan on making CDs of everything and selling them to whomever wants one for cheap. I am looking forward to their take on it being non-fliers and hence a different eye to it. It's six and a hal months away and I can hardly wait! I'll really need to remember the sun block this year....

harpoz Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 No word yet... Give Beatrix a call and bug her. Sorry to hear that there will be no I Quad at Wildwood this year, last year was our first trip there and my family truly enjoyed watching and meeting everyone at this event. We were really excited to see " I Quad" again this year. I suppose if your scedule hasnt changed from your previous posts, you will be in Ocean City Md. which is where we go every weekend in the summer (home turf so to speak). Never miss Springfest, nor Sunfest plus its so close to home, so I may just skip Wildwood this year. I am also going to E-mail Beatrix, because the event will just not be the same if Iquad is not there..Thats what got me there!! Take Care, Jesse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
