Subject: Review: Chicago Stunt Kite Festival

Just back from the CSKF:

This year was the 4th year for the festival, and it was a very exciting
event. If you haven't attended this event, be sure to put it on your list
for next year.

Friday: The morning started off under grey skys and very light winds. The
flying field at the Ned Brown Meadows was only minutes away from our
hotel, so we were there in no time. The fields (1 comp, 1 manu demo, 1
free fly) were set up, and things were under way by 9:00am. The
competition for individual classes were held, and all of the manufactures
reps were there. The wind picked up, and we got all the scheduled events
concluded by 4:00. Some of the masters individual flyers included David
Bui, Abel Ortega and Darrin Skinner. The event was well planned, and went
off smoothly.

Saturday: Most of the Team Events were held on Saturday. The weather
started off greay, but the sky's opened up and the wind got up to 15 mph,
yet at times was very gusty. It was great to see people like Pete Dolphin
and Scott Augenbaugh in attendance, demonstrating their wonderful kites
and their flying styles. Scott was in the Manu. Demo field all day showing
off his Trix, and the many different radical maneuvers like the side 1/2
axle and everyone's favorite, the Kamakazi Spin. He also had a class in
the evening showing off some of his personal antics on video. It is
fantastic to have people like Scott, Peter, Darrin Skinner, Eric Wolff et
al in attendance. It allows the "weekend" flyer to get in contact with a
vast amount of knowledge, experience and talent to take them to the next
level. Everyone was hyped up for tonights Mystery Indoor Fly. 18 people
showed their stuff, and the competition was incredible. The flyers in
attendance were all great, and helped each other to the crowds enjoyment.
This event should be growing year by year, so get out your SUL's and start
praticing. 

Sunday: The Experienced and Masters Team Balet started off the last day of
Competition. It was great to see Team Chicago Fire fly thier routine with
the trademark "Uncle Fuzzy" Opus. The morning started off with a buzz
created by the great music and the teams warming up. The weather started
off grey, cold and windy, but the sky's later opened up and the wind
picked up....... around 2:00p.m.. The trophy's were passed out after some
great demos by some of the hottest flyers in the states today. 

Overall the CSKF was a great event Bob & Wilma Nyeman were first rate.
Every concern, question or problem was taken care of to the absloute
content of all parties in attendance. We will be there next year.... and
so should you!

Gee, I read your review a couple of times and I seem to have missed a 
mention of the Rok battle and the mass ascension. Were these not worthy?
