Choccy Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 I have to agree..these were some of the nicest people I have ever met.. When my kites were stolen.. they offered to print my graphics of my ladies on a sail for me.. I was speechless... hugs to you both! waves. Next time I see the Bro's I'll give them a hug on your behalf Mousie Not sure if you'd like their beardy kisses though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choccy Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 PS, 2:35on this Video... Not sure exactly what was going on there Simon... they ditched one set of kites for another ? Good luck with the designs... maybe you'll be inspired over a cafe et croissant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Not sure exactly what was going on there Simon... they ditched one set of kites for another ? Good luck with the designs... maybe you'll be inspired over a cafe et croissant Both Evolver & The Flying Squad were working on multiple kite routnes at the time, We had an 8 minute choreographed routine using 2 line & Rev's, we have some very good 2 line flyers and Rev flyers so it was a natural progression [for both teams]. Carl & James work for me better as either 2 line or 4 line routines, Carl can throw the Fury around really well:) & James' ballets with a 4 line always impress me, his technical skill in a ballet is awesome.

Stephen Hoath Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Amazing NEW Revolutions [/size] I picked up my brand new Rev in Berck this week. It is AMAZING! The colours are very good and the detail that you can see is, well, very detailed. These kites fly incredibly well and were very smooth all week at Berck. The kites do feel a little different but in a good way, they are perfectly balanced and respond instantly. I only had a chance to fly the kite in light to medium winds but the standard flew down as low as my SUL when I put a Race frame in it. I will try it again at the weekend and try to get some more photos of the detail. I'm already planning the design of the next one though.

Stone in Shoe Bob Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I can vouch for the quality of the brothers’ work I have just, taken delivery of a couple of custom orders this afternoon, not Revs, but watch this space may be later. There’s a festival banner designed to fly from an SLE flag pole. As always thanks to Choccy for the photo. And a Custom Rokkaku. In both cases thanks to Stephen Hoath for his Art House work, making my design ideas work for me and congratulations to the Brothers on a excellent job.

sailor99 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Fly that banner at a festival and you will have someone coming over from FA calling you names! Still I'd be happy to give you a hand :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oooooooh. Those are Niiiice, Bob! I've been craving a banner lately as well. I've got the design skills to be sure, but perhaps not enough dinero yet...

I've got the design skills to be sure, but perhaps not enough dinero yet... I believe the retail price is around 30 Euro's a peice. They work really well in multiples though as you can make pillars out of 3 or 4. We also plan to use them to extend the arena area around our kites by using small sticks of 6mm. I would use broken Rev rods but I haven't broken any in years! pm me if you want some more details or better still, email the Brothers.

johnnmitchell Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Finally, a use for all these damned SLE rods... Banner poles! There is a fellow on another thread that broke his rods and is using some cheap stuff from Wal-Mart. I am sure he could make good use of your SLE rods.

Choccy Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 I picked up my brand new Rev in Berck this week. It is AMAZING! They are amazing as Stephen says. Thanks to Stephen and Simon who lent us their new Gonzalez Revs, the time just flew by when we were having fun on these new beauties Now what were those whispers (to jump in there before my European friends say), something about a team fly, a butterfly and a net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRIAN...ta Bob 1. That seems to be the price. It may be a special introductory price though. The ones we saw had an Ultra light frame and came with a rather nice printed bag showing the custom kite on it. So as long as the image you want is not subject to copyright you can have anything you want. Our only problem is coming up with only 1 design that we want. I don't see these kites as a substitute for any of the others in the range, they do complement the existing kites well and enable you to have a truely unique kite at an accessible price. 2. Yes it is my Butterfly kite that is also made by the Brothers, I have no commercial interest in the Revs or the banners though. The work is outstanding and like Revolution, the company is a family affair who care a great deal about their products. I have seem them reject butterfly kites as seconds when I could not find the fault at first. What excites me now is that it is possible to have an image across your whole kite range now starting with your Rev and going through Roks, Butterflies (well why not) and banners. This used to be the preserve of the teams, the wealthy or the very talented sewers. Now it is open to anyone. But please don't rush as they have to make our new team kites first.
