Fraserx Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Hi All. Just a thought. Does anyone (at Revolution, or anyone else) have any idea just how many Revs are out there? I'd never even SEEN one before I caught the kiting bug, but reading this forum regularly makes it obvious they're all over the planet and have been for, what, 20 years? Anyone even hazard a guess at the total? Fraser ============================ NOTE FROM THE MODERATOR: For all updates, please post with this format for 100% clarity: nickname - +# (total) For me, it would be like this: Kitelife - +4 (43) If you want, you can always refer to the last updated number for you onthe list - militant accuracy isn't the goal, just makes it easier for me. Thanks! ============================ Total count (updated 12/17/2014): 2,777 Revs between 317 pilots! (a mean of 8.76 per pilot) ----------- *list is updated on occasion, the last post included in totals is #2035 in this thread, by me (bbailey49). *total count per person should reflect kites actually in possession, and only those produced by Revolution. *do not edit list -

KiteLife Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 That's a really good question! Well, even if they only moved 500 kites a year (very low guess I think)... That'd still be 10,000 Revs out there in the world! Amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lagrenge Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I have 3 original REVs and 1 home made... and probably the one with less REVs in the kitebag form here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiteLife Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I've got 57, counting the iQuad team kites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraserx Posted July 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 No Lagrenge - I've only got two (so far). John B - 57???????!!!!! SURELY a load of them are supplied by your sponsors...? Still, begs the question - who can top 57....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortflyer Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 30 here not counting the black and teal reg and vented 1.5 I'm hopefully getting this weekend. (if the shipping gods allow) and if I ever get to try the B-series that could up another 2,4 or 6 depending if custom colors can be had then there is the custom progressive stack in reg and vented coming soon and seriously considering a masterpiece. OK I think like smoking Rev should offer some sort of support group for chronic kite buyers. (or a major discount) LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiteLife Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Fraser, in all fairness... 32 of those 57 are iQuad team kites, which stay in my possession. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnmitchell Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I got my first REV, a REV I in 1990. Over the years I have had 72 REV sails but not enough rods for all of them. At last count I still had 42 REVs. Details on each REV, I have or had are documented on my Web site. There are others with more REVs. I suspect the absolute winners are Ann and Sam Ritter whom I suspect have well over a hundred REVs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraserx Posted July 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I got my first REV, a REV I in 1991. Over the years I have had 72 REV sails but not enough rods for all of them.

I suspect the absolute winners are Ann and Sam Ritter whom I suspect have well over a hundred REVs. Yeah John, I went through your list a while ago. Fantastic - very impressive. "Over 100" for the Ritters? LOL When people catch this bug, they CATCH it, don't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robalex Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 G'day I have two Revs, one 1.5SLE and a Supersonic. Enjoy them both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrunya Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I feel a little pathetic at this moment. I only have 2 Revs. A 1.5, and an Indoor (with a lost bungee and end cap that a have been procrastinating to replace). BUT I am hoping to get a cheaper used, vented B-Series from Ben and Lolly an WSIKF this year.(I just hope I have enought money) I'm getting all the work I can at my age (15) in a small town (Deer Park WA) to buy some more revs. It's a little tough.

AdventureAng Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 57 Revs John? That's to be expected I guess. I remember when you offered me to fly one of your kites and I said, "THat's okay, I don't want to break it or anything," and you responded with, "Don't worry, I have plenty more where that came from." You weren't kidding huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my first year, I only had a REV I. In my second year I added a REV II and made a REV I sail to replace my deteriorating REV I sail. In my third year I added a REV I SUL. After that I became a REV collector addict. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiteLife Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I got my first one (a Rev 1) in 1991... Sold it because it didn't fly right. 6 months later, I realized I'd had my verticals on the front of the kite instead of the back. Lolly and Co. gave me a Rev II near the end of 1991, and I've been flying them ever since. 80% of my Rev collection has come in the last three years.

mditty Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I now own 3. One 1.5 SLE, one Speed Series, one Barresi Series. I do plan on buying anouther Barresi or two and start a stack if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiteLife Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 191 counted between everyone who has posted thus far... And that's just between a whopping 12 people, if I count right. An average of 15.916 Revs per person... Now if that isn't an addiction, I don't know what is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
