Crossbow vs. Rapture?

Ollie,
I have Firefox 1.0, and my OS is Windows XP. I just checked and the browser is set to accept cookies, in fact, I found two of them from BAK in the list.

Blair's email motivated to try to reset my password again, but my for some reason I can't access my email right now :evil:

If I had known I was missing out on member blogs, I would have been motivated to correct the situation early!

Ollie,
So the new password went through this time, and I can officially log in. Time to start a blog, I guess.

I could write mine in Spanish to challenge Charlie for the title of "most difficult to translate"...

The rapture picture in the advertisement (maybe it is Rage?) looks very flat and crossbow like. I cannot imagine this kite not having a bridle, it will put an enormous stress on the LE tube. But who knows, maybe they use cuben fiber (or maybe its just not as flat as the picture) :)

WW said that the production kite may not be the same one as in the ad.

the L.E. is key. figuer that out and bam you got it
look the crossbow folds up i read,
the raptures blow seams?
seems like the l.e. is key
i had i hard time fiugering out how to self luanch, the raptures
we may need to work on a way to do that to the crossbows?
you can do some stuff we dont do with u shaped kites
like fly backwords? or reverse luanch or recon luanch(just lift a tip)
when you get into fly n a wing, sheeting in all the time is not allways that good for it. let the wing gather speed to gain lift....
so some times sheeting out a little and waiting a bit is best.


i wanna fly crossbow, i know what to do .

But lots of people speak and read Spanish, how many can do that with Charliese?

[Pablito]

Ahh, but what about Span-Charliese?

That would be tough, though. No such thing as a typo in Spanish.

I agree with Charlie that not having bridles is nice. Generally the simplest system works the best... most of the time. No need to worry about tangles, line wear, etc.
Unfortunately it sounds like the ww Rapture '06 is going to use bridles. They say, "The 06 is much more stable and goes up wind a bit better while jumping as well as the 05 if not better." And the '06 can be used with any bar.
If you like the bridleless Rapture, you can get the '05 for fairly cheap.
