I Hate To Walk (Introduction)
   
  This looks like a good kite story to snack on!
   
  My name is Brian Champie, I fly in the San Francisco bay area at Berkeley’s North Waterfront Park, now known by the politically correct as Caesar Chavez Park.

I have been flying for 6 years and have been known to fly 20 to 30 hours a week in the summer. I "do" all of the festivals I can.

I am a founding board member of the By Area Sport Kite League. And am a Northern California Kite Club manager.

I’ve been on the Colombia kite festival tour And was one of the "victims" of last summers massacre on Guadeloupe Island! I read rec.kites, but hesitate to post. I also enjoy # kites the kite chat channel.

I am known as an aggressive trick flier, and have spawned several stunts fliers are now doing around the world.

There is so much interest in tricks lately that I thought some basics tricks are in order.

Often learning a new trick results in an unplanned landing and tangle and because "I really hate to walk" and turn the kite over. Here are some tricks I use to keep from WALKING!

The following pages are some of the tricks you can use to "adjust" the kite on the ground to relaunch so you don't have to walk!

   
  Tasty!
