Lazy kippt er mir immer raus und backspin will noch nicht so ganz..

Changing the lower Leading Edges to Nitro Strong (like the Sixth Sense Pro plans describe) helps a lot with backspins.

Yes, there's a review on the site and it's not positive to say the least. Wonder how it flies.

Came across these pictures and video on Facebook. A new 255 cm "precision" kite by Decathlon/Orao.
It look like the kite has wrapped rods. Comes with 40 meter lines and neoprene padded straps.

I've added the picture to the website!

This episode of BTTOS features the classic Outer Space by Benson Kites. This kite is framed in Structil High Mod rods and the connectors are by Trade Winds. Flown in a very light breeze at the Maasvlakte 2 beach. Thanks to Lars Fakkeldij for providing the kite. Enjoy!

Sunday afternoon bike ride to the beach at Monster. Brought my 100Sixteen kite to fly a little during the golden hour. Just about enough wind. Here's a little edit of the session. Enjoy.

It's a very nice kite indeed. Love it.

The Matrix is an open source trick kite designed by Mario di Biase and Alberto Cavati from Italy (custom sail design by me) which was also featured in OSTK episode 24. I always wanted to fly a kite at the former air force training grounds located at the Noordsvaarder, Terschelling. Unfortunately the whole area was flooded during my stay on the island and when i arrived at the location after the long bikeride and hike there was no wind. I managed to find a little dry corner and finally the wind picked up so i had just an hour of wind and daylight. This video was shot during that hour. Enjoy!

Great flying as always Dario. I love my Matrix UL. Also publishing a video with it today.

The 3rd episode of 'PILOT' features Fred, Lucas, Bram, Marcel, Wilfred and Ronald who all perform the Half Axel trick at the Tricksparty Afterparty 2019, Ginkelse Heide. See description and how to vote below:

Half Axel
The trick starts with the kite flying horizontally in either direction, then falls onto its belly, turns nose away from the pilot, and rotates 180°. The kite is then snapped back into flight with the nose pointing exactly opposite the initial direction and should exit in a straight line.

Wind: variable, bumpy, with gusts up to 35 km/h

The M-Light is a small light wind trick kite (width: 160 cm) designed by Christoph Fokken for HQ Kites. It was released in 2002/2003 so the term "old school" is debatable... It feels like a classic kite, but it's capable of some modern moves. Flown in a smooth island breeze at low tide at De Boschplaat, Terschelling. Thanks to Bram for providing the kite. Enjoy.

The 2nd episode of 'PILOT' features Krijn, Ronald, Bram, Fred, Wouter and André who all perform the 540 trick at the Texel beach during "Windfestival De Koog 2019". See description and how to vote below:

540

The 540 is a single 540° belly-down rotation initiated from a flare. IN is a vertical flight down, OUT is straight up.

Wind:
Over dunes/buildings, variable, turbulent.

hi Guys
Question: Which cable length do you use?
Many greetings
René

Between 35 and 40 meters for the STD/VTD kites. Between 30 and 35 meter for the (S)UL's. I prefer longer lines.

Lars and i shot some additional handheld gimbal footage of the Level One BadAss during a very nice early morning session.

Zitat von Flugente

Habe mir auch einen fertigen magneten zu gelegt von einem guten kite bauer - der magnetback std hält auch noch etwas wind aus - heute getestet mit mini-sixhtsense.Brauche noch ein bischen eingewöhnungs std

Nice one! I'll put it on the builds page.

Challenge your mates to a game of T.R.I.C.K.
Rock Paper Scissors to decide who goes first (offence). Offence performs a trick of choice. Defence needs to do the same trick. If defence fails to do the trick he gets a letter. If you have 5 letters you lose. If offence fails his trick (or does it very sketchy), offence/defence roles are reversed. For the last letter you get 2 attempts. If defence does a sketchy trick offence can offer a second try. It’s not allowed to repeat tricks during a game. You can decide to allow combinations or series of tricks for added difficulty.

Filmed at the Zandmotor beach in about 20-25 km/h wind. Kites used: 90Nine STD. Edit by Lars. English subtitles available (CC).
