Normally they do not, but they know it was me and it is part of my permit that I am allowed to "perform" for the crowd. People love it, it brings them to the Pier, and it's "different". Dave

The one in the video is a Revolution 1.5 SLE. Bought one several months ago and the fun factor, once you get the gist of it, is absolutely off the scale.

Awesome kite. The pilot is doing an excellent job of flying this thing. After I learn on a basic stunt kite I would definitely like to get one of these.

Hey Gang, Just to answer some of the questions that have been asked. First, that is actually a VERY OLD model, a 1.5M, the M stood for Mylar. If you look closely, it has a Mylar panel. Since the video was shot, we had SO MANY requests for that color, we had Revolution make it as an exclusive color for The Kite Connection. The bridle is the same bridle material that has always been used, just a different color, they varied the colors based on availability. It is a Spectra Cored Dacron. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. What's funny is that if you also look closely, the sail is separated from the leading edge in about 5 places, but it stills flies great. I finally retired it about 6 months ago and it's now in my garage. I'm honored that this footage has more views than any Rev footage on youtube! Thank you all very much. If you are ever in Huntington Beach, please stop by, I'll be happy to give you a free lesson! Best, Dave The Kite Connection

Absolute great fun to play with people. What a good show for Revolution kites.

If you gave it eyes it would add a lot of impact.

I LOVE watching this video over and over!! Great control Dave!!!

Pilot..... = God Mode

That’s the funniest think I’ve seen in ages. AMAZING WELL DONE

Awesome! Thanks for looking up the video. Glad it has received so much publicity! So, how do we get it to go viral now!!! Dave The Kite Connection

when you want to own a Ferrari, price tags are not the focus. Its the style, the performance, the "wow" factor. get one. you wont regret it. Revolution kites are more than worth the price.

I've been flying 2 line stunt kites for many years and this Christmas I got my first quad line kite! Can't wait to get to a beach soon. I also got a 2 line 10 foot airfoil parachute kite with a bar...lifted me off the ground!

Great video of the Rev. I don't really like Rev kites or videos, but this is very entertaining and the kite looks great also.

Nice flying...I fly my Rev's pretty well, but not quite ready to "attack" the crowd just yet even tho I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night...Good job!

I just bought one today.. with a 6 ft span, and will get the big one when Ilearn the moves...Some are available at $120.

The original Rev I and Rev II (three sticks) had a full-length mesh vent just behind the leading edge spar. But the modern Revs use a nylon fiber-reinforced clear panel material that's not a vent. It looks like a vent, but it's not.

If you want to break into it on a budget, try second hand on eBay and the like. They normally go for $150 or £100, and they don't lose their value further.

Imagine doing this shit at night lol

Good job.

the kite that move like a human is really something!*~

This looks like fun

if only these kites werent so rediculously overpriced

Gorgeous.💜 i would love to learn how to fly one. I would love mines with tales.

Beautiful

Maybe my next kite will be a revolution? I've started quite a collection of kites from delta two line stunt kites up to power sport models. My favorite is my thunder foil 2.5 but those revolutions look fun!!!!

best quad line kite IN WHOLE TUBE!!!! id LOVE THAT MOVIE ! u should put any cool music as backgrond I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Dave, is that vented at all, or a full sail? Wasn't sure if the criss-crossed type panels between the red and yellow colours were (gauze?) vents.

That's freakin Awesome,,That kite has a personality :)

No more than a regular stunt kite. However Revolution also make much larger versions called Blast and PowerBlast that DO pull.

very impressive the freeze-figure that you can do ....

How...? I have an acrobatic delta, and I can't to imagine how to make this insanity with it. Thumbs up!

very nice and so skilled

quality control!! amazing!

You can, but it's not what they are known for. Dave

Bro it just looks like a fast drone

What magic is this?

My name is Dave Shenkman, I own The Kite Connection on the Huntington Beach Pier. I'm shocked at how many views this has had. I had more fun playing with everyone that day than they did, the wind was PERFECT. BTW, I fly Revs professionally and have so for 20 years, please don't fly that close to people. Thank you. Dave

funniest RevKite video. great!

Great video. Now I know why those kites cost so much. It would have been cool seeing you walk it along the railing! Just imagine if someone would incorporate fiber optic lighting in the kite material so you can display messages. Now that would be killer!

Which model / year of the Revolution kites is this one ? Super colors

How could there be 10 dislike??? This videos is very awesome. Should be no dislike lol.(Sorry bad grammar)

Thank you. It is fun to do. Dave

For the sport stunt kites how do you stop the kite or lower it down cuz after lift off its always rly high up. If I losen the string it just falls down cuz no drag on the kite

It's an REV 1.5 SLE, but not the 2011 design...

do these kites pull at all?

What bridles are on this kite? I have this model and mine are white.

I mean, how fantastic is that? its like its alive, or something, a mind of its own, I have never seen this type of thing before, I want one,,, how much are they to buy? and, where can I buy one from? ,,, love to know... cheers

How much line have you got there?

well done!!

bardzo pomocny filmik w kopiowaniu tego latawca ,dziękuje;)...mam już rurki węglowe 6mm,materiał ripstop dwa kolory,mój będzie miał wymiary 2m na 65cm,trzeba będzie jeszcze poszukać krawcowej z maszyną która robi ścieg taki jak oryginał,linki zrobię na początek z żyłki wędkarskiej 10kg-przy słabszych wiatrach powinna wytrzymać ;).

the stops are too risky for my flavor, but ooh so tempting because of the reactions. Makes me want to try. Like $300 makes me want to try.I think I have made errors in my kite purchases by being cost conservative. Haven't we all?

love it !

What is that kite called

revolution kites are WOW

A PRATICA LEVA A PERFEIÇAO . JPJ.

But, not very easy to use. Takes a lot of practice

About a 75' line set. Dave

Super fort mec !!!! EXTRA !!!!!

MAD control!

wow, awesome skill

how does the string not get all tangled

Draw a face or at least some eyes on that kite :) It would be like staring at people. That would be awesome!!!

Following @snowlep99's comment, can anyone tell what type / model and year this Revolution kite is?

belissimo video

aunt betty, you have your work cut out for you, much harder to learn on than a 1.5. Also, no original Rev is available new for 120.00, only an illegal chinese knock off or a used. id be VERY careful. As an authorized Rev dealer of 25 years, I have seen a lot of people get ripped off. unfortunatlely a lot of bad information. Please folks, do your homework b4 making a purchase. if not with me, with someone who knows, preferably a local kite store. Regards, Dave Shenkman.

i love that location i have bought kites there.

Its alive!!!! ;)

COOOL It would be a quite bigger effect if it had eyes painted on it ^^. It seems really alive :)

can you do slack line tricks with quad rev kites?

would like to buy one, can anyone help ?

awesome!!!!

ok guys so where can i get this one? and a larger one for my self

its living

Muito top

Super bad ass

sure would like to know who make Catherine Wheels Cutting edge is no more anyone know? Paul

thay are $150 to $500

i want one

Hi Is it possible to make this kite ,?or do you have to buy it ready made.Frank

Welcome to quality products made in America! :D

Very cool kite but putting in on unexpecting people's faces might get it ripped apart if somebody doesn't find it funny

What is the name of this and where can i get me one !!! Thanks Rodney

@zeffman99...... The kite is made by Revolution Kites, revkites dot com

I will disagree with that comment and just leave it at that. Dave

What type of kite is that

where is standing the guy who controls the kite? :D

Skilled flying: yes. But it is all fun and games until it is not! That was dangerously reckless and could potentially have resulted in serious injury or worst !

if only you could make 1 out of you bare hands...

try kiteconnection*c om (the shop you see in the background)

very good amazing actualy

cool controll.....what are these kites called? made me laugh you harrassing the people on the pier lolzz

better than a drone :D

I can fly one that well (with the smaller version) and that guy is taking too much risk. A spar can let go and you suddenly have a person punctured by flying polymer rod. You should never get close to people in case a line breaks or a part of the kite fails.

put that thing in my face like that and you'll never see it again :P

revolution

2020 i pick up girls with my Kite

Hi there, I work for a news agency called Newsflare. We are interested in talking to you more about your video. Sent you a youtube message, if you could take a look as soon as you can and get back to me. Thanks, Amy

Very irresponsible kite flying. You should only approach someone like this with their permission. Personally, I would laugh if someone took out a knife & slashed at that Rev to give it asymmetrical vents! LoL

Ever heard of kite safety? Your not setting a good example. I don't think flying into unsuspecting peoples faces is cool, more stupid than anything. There's always a chance of accident no matter how good a flyer pilot you think you are.
