One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet.  A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites.  Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal.  1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.
There are several more benefits to being a registered user, but you'll have to join our little community to find out all the "secrets".

Norm... wow, dude, you sure can hustle ! I better step it up !

I finally got to fly in a good smooth wind again, and realize how badly out of practice I am. This trick is going to take some time, I couldn't even get one. I couldn't do more than 2 single AVFFF's in a row, but I think I might have bee flying to heavy of a kite for the wind. Oh, well.
Still out there... still trying...
Rob...I've watched plenty of your videos, so it's hard for me to believe you haven't been able to do this trick. I know for sure a guy wouldn't want to put it in his routine, but it's a challenge for sure. When you have to run (if you can count what I'm doing as running) to get enough slack to complete a trick it certainly shows what slack is all about. If you don't create slack you're not trickin'.

I decided to do two rotations of the Double AVFFF. I'm almost 68 years old and 68 pounds over weight and completely out of shape.




Thanks for the video Norm. I'm out of shap and over weight but a spring chicken at only 54  Cheesy
Looks like I need to sprint another 5 to 7 feet to complete the double.

Finish up school in a couple of weeks so I can give it another shot.



Now, If we can get out from under all these snow storms, I just might have a chance to break in a pair Smiley Smiley Smiley

You still have snow storms.  Huh
In Vegas it was 90 on April 1st. By April 30 it was 99. Only a matter of time till we hit 110.  Cry

Hi Norm.
I would also like to see another video, but not for the reasons exposed before, but because this one is so shaky.
The vibration makes me unsure of how the trick goes.
Could we have one with a stable camera please?
Thanks!


Hey Norm. How do we know that what you have posted wasnt just a one off happy accident lol. Can you post a vid showing two cycles of the trick just so I know this wasnt a one off. Nothing personal.


Does this one work for you Ara?
Can Simon post two rotations?
Does this look like an accident, Steve?
