HOT TRICKS

Northwest Sport Kite League (NWSKL), Event Directors
1:30p.m. – 3:00p.m.  Field A

Hot Tricks!  This is the area where the latest style of flying has come out.  It has been called trick flying and slack line flying.  It involves spins, flips, floats and turns that you would not deem possible with a kite in the wind.  This flying is very active in that the kite is always changing what it is doing.  The competition is pitting two fliers against each other in a head to head timed environment with music played in the background.  The winner of each round moves on to the next flier.  This makes it very fast paced just like the flying is.  The crowd and the competitors themselves–with one final winner–judge the competition.  But all are winners in that they are great fliers and on the leading edge of the sport of kite flying.

Thanks for attending WSIKF 2011!

Hope to see you next year:  August 20-26, 2012
