johnnmitchell Posted June 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 It is definitely a REV I from 1995 or earlier.I'll guess at the next two: It is at Long Beach, WA You are flying it. When I look at the rods, not very clear, it could well be a REV II because the writing was different on the rods for a REV II. It said REV II.

I only recognize the guy who is on the middle, left. He is Ben. The Guy all the way on the left looks kinda like John B., but I could be wrong. It is hovering and it is a REV INDOOR (NO WIND). Correct. This was on a very light wind day, accross the street from my school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hints: One of the guys is one of a patriotic pair. One of the guys is well known from the early times of the REV to present. One of the guys is from a World Cup Champion team.

johnnmitchell Posted June 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Number 15...Whose REV is this? What is it about to do to that sled? It is a Scott Skinner masterpiece. As to who owns it, no idea. I suspect it has nothing to do with sled outside of being in the same picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From pictures I have seen of him flying he likes to fly close to (mess with) objects too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraserx Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Number 15...Whose REV is this? What is it about to do to that sled? Yay! We're back the "Rev As A Weapon" thing! Well, what happened was: This is another enormously over-sized Rev, but this time constructed from titanium and kryptonite and operated covertly by the military to assess it's use as a SpyRev. Yet again, a horrendous Mach1+ slide manouvre went horribly wrong and the SpyRev careered along wildy. At this point, the "sled" appeared, looking to be in mortal danger. However, though you can't tell from a still picture, it showed itself to be a prototype next-generation weapon of war, operated by an unscrupulous agent of an emergent nation - hellbent on forcing its way onto the world stage. Although looking like a brightly-coloured fun kite, it is in fact a highly sophisticated stealth weapons platform, cunningly disguised by being painted in UN-stealthy colours (clever, these spy types y'know...). Just before this picture was taken, it had begun to change its attitude, presenting a clear and present danger to the momentarily-vulnerable Rev. However.... It the next frame, a flap shot open in the Rev and burst of sound energy issued forth (in fact, a recording of an entire live set by Roots Roundup, compressed into 0.2seconds...). Instantaneously, the enemy stealth sled was vapourised and the Rev was saved.! Yay! S'true! So, do I get a prize? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrier Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 No15: What Sled? If thats any thing like what goes on around here the Rev is either about to bring the Flowform back to the ground or has just put it back up from the ground. And Fraser just put those little pills in to the toilet and flush it, you will feel better in the morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems you all can't figure out who the 4th guy is! Another hint: He normally wears a straw hat when he flies revs and he flies pairs with his wife using REVs in patriotic colors.
