YES IT IS TRUE :ticking:

It was M m m mE on the Pulse :eekdrull:

"Sir"Thrasher has gotten a WHOLE LOT crazier than I remembered and is now willing to take that Rockville up past 39mph :crazy: I had to burn off power running downwind at 37.

I thought this was an easy bet and I lost :barf:

Next years challenge ........... Jumping :borg:
My new Peter Lynn Charger ( I'm divorcing the Pulse ) against your old Blade. The one that bonded us way back when :cool2:

Are we ON ? :evil:



For those of us expecting a comparison this was more of a friendly race. I haven't flown the Apex and Strash' hasn't flown the Pulse. It was pretty windy. Strash' has only flown a depwer kite a few times and flew Dino's Apex like He owned it. :thumbup: Able to push it, right out of the bag with that little background in depower. I think that does say a LOT for the Apex kite.

I am impressed with the Apex and I didn't go as fast as Strasher. That is all true ! and we had Fun , didn't we !:wee:

WOW,

Lucked out there !

After challenging I realized that Sthrash " may just be crazy enough to take me up on this.

The Dry lake is NO PLACE for a big air contest.:ninja:

It looks like slowly but surely I may be moving away from my Flysurfers. It will really be a sad day that I let that 7m Pulse go. It was without a doubt the 1st kite I flew that was near perfection !

I still say it is a good choice for a beginer and land. Clearly the Apex is as well :thumbup::thumbup:

I have flown the 4m Access and somehow doubt it would work as an engine as well as that 5m Apex went ? I see how the Apex would be a good kite for beginers. It makes a good high wind kite later. Not unlike the beamer.

It may happen around June and you have 1st Dib's.

I have the P3 up for sale now. If it ends up going for too little I may RE-think selling my used kites PERIOD. I'm starting to think that many of them won't ever be worth the joy they have given me in dollar value.

I regret selling every single kite I have ever sold ! :megan:
