 Fri Aug 10, 07 12:54 pm Helix at Stevensonburg Today? |
 |
|
A little birdie told me that there possibly might maybe be a Helix floating around at Stevenson today for possible demo?
Actually the bird told me that the kite was already on its way there today!

Had a chance to ride it for a few minutes at the sandbar yesterday. Nice solid kite. Very much a front line flier with really light bar pressure. It was very stable throughout the window, and never wanted to overfly. Janet was on it for about 30 minutes and right away commented on the light bar pressure as well. She also dunked it a few times and was able to relaunch it super easy. Did not get to try it out with the new bar, unfortunately. I would also say that it seemed to be about a size down on the low end, and extremely stable on the high end.
I would like to try and fly this and the Rev back to back to get a good comparison. |

Thanks again for the demo Mark!
The Helix is a solid kite and I am sure its going to please a lot of people.
From what I understand the Helix is a more big air oriented kite... I am looking forward to trying the Cult which I think is more of the fast turny / kiteloopy / wave riding style sigma kite. Bam?
Also how about that new bar?
And how about a pony? I've always wanted one... |
