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.

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).

A few weeks ago i recieved a BadAss STD by Level One demo kite to review. During my holiday i flew the kite in different conditions. This video was shot in the morning at the Lies beach, Terschelling. Enjoy!

Early sunday morning session with the 90Three STD at Lies Beach, Terschelling. Such a nice way to start the day. Just about enough wind for this kite. Enjoy!

Nice one! Added the picture to the builds page. Thanks.

Did you try it yet?

Hohoho,
thats a difference in the bending curve!
Ever tried a GFK standoff in the Badass? It looks like that could make the kite smoother ... at least in high winds

Best regards, Jens

I think it needs stiffer standoffs for tricks.

Another great bootcamp weekend at Burgh Haamstede, Zeeland with the Tricksparty crew. Kites, wind, beers, beaches and BBQ. What else does one need? Edit by Lars. Enjoy.

Last week i picked up a brand new Prism Fanatic kite at Ron Berkhout's place. I really love the colors on this one. Very 90's Prism in my opinion. Such a cool little kite. Basically a smaller, radical Illusion. Looking at the Prism badges and branding my guess is this kite is from one of the last production runs of the Fanatic (early 2000's). This episode of BTTOS was filmed during my first session with this kite at De Zandmotor. Enjoy!

Lars Fakkeldij brought his freshly built 90Nine Super Ultralight in Caribbean Blue to "De Zandmotor" in a very nice midsummer sea breeze. This version is framed with 3pt LS, p90/p100 LE and p100 Spine. Flying and edit by Lars. Enjoy!

Very nice, Thorsten. I'll put the pic on the bulds page.
