Felix Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 We are looking forward to Portsmouth. A few from the North East should be present. The Decs should be eight again at Portsmouth. Some of us will be travelling further afield in the meantime. Felix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reccomend short lines, not much room to fly around the crowd. However there is normaly some room in the public flying area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stone in Shoe Bob Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Nice one Baloo, but with all the blue Bs around isn't that like arranging to meet someone outside The Albert Hall, second Sunday in November and saying "I'll be the one wearing the poppy"?

Stone in Shoe Bob Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 But for what it's worth this is me, though as has already been said there is not normally enough space for us lesser mortals so I don't normally fly much until Monday morning when the arena ropes come down.

Naa, doesn't look familiar to me, Bob. I thought you flew a burkha - mostly in black with a couple of colourful slots.... OK, so if it's not hot, I might wear my Rev fleece (it'll be the gold 'n' black B series on the back).

darknight Posted July 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 What about getting some t shirts with revkites.com on em, maybe on the back and small on the front top right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baloo Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Good piont about the Blus B's Bob, thinking about it I only have 3 of them. Nestled in amongs another few of varying colours in my bag. And come to think of it Darknight (you would SO love a kite Wufer made for me) yes I could wear a Rev T shirt. Would be a Red one. So if you see a Bear in a Red Rev T shirt that will be me. As opposed to any other Bears that might be there of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you flew a burkha - mostly in black with a couple of colourful slots.... Thank you Andy, yes, you are, right, I do have some new skins, and very nice they fly too, but I figured forum etiquette and just plain good manners, prevented me from saying too much about that here. But since you brought the subject up. The new skins are very new, so it’s a bit too soon to be making any hard and fast decisions but at this stage my feeling is that I have too much invested in my old skins to write them off. My current intension (don’t hold me to this) is to bring the new skins into day to day use and to keep back the old favourites as my festival persona.

I wonder if we should approach the organisers and ask if a 'small' part of the SLK arena may be designated a Rev area so that the attending Rev fliers have an opportunity to 'warm up' for an arena presentation in the way it worked at the recent Sunderland event.

Felix sounds like a good idea as the rev fliers in general are good public viewing "in my opinion" if not then our own separate arena it was possible for the 20th aniversary so space isnt an issue just my 2p worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think that rev fliers are good public viewing and we need to build on that aspect. Up at Sunderland this year many of the SLK fliers could not cope with the conditions on Sunday. It was not comfortable flying but the Revs did keep the show on the road, at least, for some of the time. I suspect that Gill and Jon may be sympathetic to the idea even if their hands may be tied this late in the day. If they are looking for a mega fly we may have some leverage. The 2008 event was, of course, somewhat different... Felix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
