Guests (non-registered users) can view the forum but are unable to post.  If you don't have anything to say then why would you bother to register?
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".

To assure you will win a free pair of 2 or 3-finger Custom Finger Straps you will need to "throw your hat" in the "trick challenge ring" when the next challenge begins. The next "trick challenge" will be for beginners only , but all input and videos are encouraged, welcomed, and much appreciated. As soon as the AVFFF challenge is completed with four videos posted and Joe can fly on grass rather than snow I will post the new "trick challenge". If you think you may want to win a pair of Custom Finger Straps you might want to join in the next "trick challenge" as I am getting low on material. I think trigger, Tmadz, red sweater, and a few other might want to think about joining in on this one.  Lips sealed  Lips sealed  Lips sealed  

Ooops forgot Ara, Joe, Wayne, and CharlesP.

EDIT:  Edit: I do not consider some of the people listed above to be beginners. I have listed their names,  because they have admitted to having trouble with a particular trick, which will be the next "trick challenge". Now, a few of you will probably know what the next "trick challenge" will be.
EDIT: Steve, Ian are you guys game? Don't forget to wear your snow style speedos.  Wink

OK, I'm in.
Here's my hat

 Wink

I actually thought the "Double AVFFF" was the new challenge...  Roll Eyes

So I'm looking forward to this one. Especially because of the note "for beginners only"  Smiley

Cheers!

And such a nice hat it is Ara.

 I'm in, but my time might be extremely limited. Although maybe getting a new WM UL/std might give me incentive to fly more.

This trick should only require one minute of your time and one minute from which ever
one of your new WM's that will fit your wind conditions at the time you record.  Wink

Thanks Norm. Maybe I should get the UL, just so I can use those straps on it. Kismet?

You will probably lean more towards the UL when you see  Huh the next "trick challenge".

I would like to throw my hat into the ring as well, though my hat is not nearly as nice as Ara's.   Cheesy

It's still a nice hat. Very classy. I wish people wore them more (and I'm not talking about baseball caps). A loss to society in my opinion.
