Genesis stunt kite Standard TRICKS GALLORE

This is not my video. I uploaded this because at the time, there were very few videos of stunt kites on youtube. Credit goes to the pilot: Erich Vogl and camera: Brigitte Gstottner

Genesis Stunt kite made by Level one kites. This is a trick kite that is made to do alot of insane moves that I can't even do on my genesis.

Construction:

The center T is one of the new aluminum type that Level One has been using with some of their kites. Hooray they decided not to use the TWS system on the Genesis! There is weight though but it is a total of 12 grams fixed at the nose. The Genesis has a deep sail the standoffs are much longer than say the JTM they almost remind me in length to the New Age. Also another thing strikes me about the Genesis is that it seems to have a fairly long tail compared to many of their other kites. The bridle is a simple 3-point with quick adjustment knots at the upper spreader connectors and also at the center T if you want to shorten up your turning inputs. One of the nice things about the bridle is that it is not too long it does not get caught on the tail at all. There is a leech line in the TE to subdue any noise. The spreader connectors are Avia's. The Leading Edges have some curve to them. The standoff to sail connection area has some mylar re-enforcement to it.

@hughjass1019 credit goes to Erich Vogl, the kite flyer in this film. I just uploaded this so that more people can see the sport and how awesome trick flying can be (with practice that is)

sry but I could not find one thing? I guess it is pretty important. How long are strings in this case?

[c2thew]

@czechproud the strings are typically 80 feet with 150# strength.

[phishingword]

I know this sounds stupid but how do you keep the strings from getting tangled like that?

[c2thew]

@phishingword

not a stupid question. basically you still have control over the kite even if you have 4-20 wraps. just because the lines cross doesn't mean your automatically lose control. You still have tension in the string so that you are still able to turn. more wraps on the lines just makes it a little harder to turn as there is more friction preventing the lines to be push/pulled to turn.

im a kiteboarder, and deal with all types of kites on a daily basis...this is really pretty wild, its definitely opened my mind up to trying new things with my kites.

[tking177]

put some glow sticks or leds on here and do it at night at a rave to some dubstep music. that would be amazing. this has so much room for building on to. nice tricks man.

[420ALI3N]

WOW...Awesome! Is that a 2 string or 4 string kite?

[LockieLaets]

Kites are dumb lol

[Skyfuz]

When I saw this my jaw dropped open and I just kept saying: "Wow!...Holy F***!...OMG!" over and over

[phillipbailey70]

[spexiti]

@gintacz

I love it when people can't believe what is going on... You are an amazing kite flyer and I can only wish to have that amount of control some day. I can tell you for certain that this is real and the kite is real and the pilot is real. He is just better than most and it kinda blows your mind. 8-)

Really cool man!
