Already the 4th edition of the La Ronde Des Vents festival at Bray-Dunes, France. We had a lovely, yet windy weekend. Nice weather, great friends, some beers and BBQ and a lot of kites. Many thanks to the LRDV organisation and all the participants for another epic edition. Great job! Hope to see you all next year. Enjoy the (longish) video!

Not saying that is any bad ... just questioning if that still can be call a SixthSense ...

I know what you mean with full nylon kites. They feel 'soft' mos of the times. But it's actually quite good. Feels like a Sixth Sense just faster and smaller inputs. This kite is based on a .85 build by Davide Equizzi himself which Krijn bought.

So is it a Sixth Sense? It is in my book.

....once again a fancy video to spend some holidays in netherlands

Yes! Come over!

Episode 20! In this episode we fly the Sixth Sense .85: a scaled down version of the Sixth Sense by Stuntkite Palermo (Davide Equizzi). I borrowed Chris Wojtas' kite (thanks!) which is built in nylon spinnaker fabric and a 6mm pultruded carbon and Skyshark frame. Flown at Eendrachtspolder in light to moderate wind. Enjoy!

Plans are available here (just scale everything down to 85%): http://www.kareloh.com/kite-plans/2175-2/

This episode of Back to the Old School features the Flexifoil Psycho: the frantic little brother of the Stranger. I bought my Psycho (the yellow/purple version) when i saw the VHS at a kiteshop. My other Psycho (Red/Blue) was a gift from Pierre Terbogt. Both kites are modified (turbo bridle/yoyo stoppers/tailweight/w-trickline) to make it a bit less crazy in normal flight and to add some modern trick capabilities. The video was shot on the lovely Terschelling beach. Enjoy!

So, fertig

Fliegen konnte ich ihn leider noch nicht. Der Wind war nicht vorhanden
Dann eben an einem anderen Tag...

Viele Grüße

Nice! I will put it on the builds page!

The main thing i like about trick kites is that each kite has it's own character. Both positive and negative quirks make for a unique feel. That's why i like to fly lot's of different kites. To me, the idea of the search of the 'perfect' kite is boring.

The classic R-Sky Nirvana Standard is a great kite for windy days. Loud, slow and precise. Might be one of the best panel layouts in the industry, especially with the dark grey instead of black. Flown at the Zandmotor beach near Kijkduin, Holland. Enjoy!

After seeing the Prism Trickshow VHS and visiting the Prism demo in Almere i had 2 holy grails: i wanted to have both the Eclipse and the Illusion. Preferably in teal. It took about 16 years to find a teal Eclipse but i was able to buy a used teal-fade illusion from a dutch pilot in 1998. The sail is worn and knackered but it still flies very nice. Last week, on a lovely evening, i rode my bicycle to the beach near Ter Heijde and the wind was perfect for the good old illy. Enjoy.

Ich habe Reverse Taz gesehen

It's kinda like a snappy double axel.

Took the good old Gem for a spin at the amazing Maasvlakte beach. Wind was barely enough but had a blast anyway. It needs some (a lot!) re-adjustment input wise since it’s so much different compared to recent, straight LE kites. Enjoy!

Yep, great colors

I'll put the picture on the builds page!

This is episode 19 of Open Source Trickkites showcasing the Monster kite by Christian Derefat. Flown in moderate winds near De Kapel in Midden Delfland. Thanks to Wim and Wouter for providing the kite!

The plans are not hosted on a public website, but they are shared by Christian if you send him an email. More info is available on kite forums:

Almost spring! The temperature is rising and the days are getting longer. Beautiful morning so time for a early session with the V SUL at Scheveningen beach in very light wind. Enjoy!

Hallo Zusammen

Die Videos von David Equizzi haben mich dazu inspiriert auch mal einen zu bauen.

Vielen Dank für den hervorragenden Bauplan.

Lars' first trickkite build (with a little help from me): Magnet STD

Zitat von MP3

Day&Night Variante mit mod. Schleppkante, Cuben Leitkante und DPP Bestabung.

Nice one! Added the photo to the builds page.

Zitat von Ulzburger

The actual reason for this kite design was a new idea for the technical design process of a trick kite. That's why he is called "POC - Proof Of Concept". Whether he also has the flying qualities I wanted in the design, we will still see.

I like the name as well. Hope to try it 1 time.

Zitat von Ulzburger

Hier mein 2017er-Projekt. Man muss ja mindestens einen unfertigen Proto in der Tasche haben, sonst wird es ja langweilig

P.S. Ingos Magnet stand Pate bei der Auswahl der Farben. -> "Magnet" - Bauplan

Nice! What is the designgoal for this one? More towards radical freestyle/tricks?
