I was just curious how long everyone has been flying dual lines? It won't effect my scoring as I've already sent my score sheet in.
I've been flying for 20 months.

I think this is even a little misleading given some folks can actually fly more than once per month. I have seen myself make progress in leaps, depending on how often I fly in a given month. I learned most of what little I can do in the last year and a half I was in the NL, back when I was flying at least once per week. Since leaving on Jan 1, 2008, I find myself relearning more than progressing.
I am sure with another two weeks dedicated to kiting (provided at least 5 days were with decent weather), I could reverse my comete.
I was almost there two weeks ago. Somehow, I am afraid this ain't happening in Norway.

Four years. I'm much better when the camera isn't rolling - honest!
I've reached a horrible plateau where the tricks I can't do are boringly difficult to get consistent: ie yofades, copters, ciniques and of course bleeding coin tosses. I tend to go out, try the tricks I can't do if the wind will let me, get bored of tangling the kite, retreat to just doing JLs for two hours, go home. Not improving one iota with this regime.....

I think we all are..
I am flying kites since August 2005...before that i was a very fanatic carpangler. I started trickflying May 2006 ..and thought i would never learned that.
Until i met Kareloh , Obi , and Kaasplank...than it all started to work.

Are you running for office?
Two paragraphs and you didn't answer the question. But I do agree. The more often you fly the faster you learn. Prevailing wind conditions add to the learning curve as well. And as Pierre said, having other fliers to learn from makes a difference too.

I've actually been flying on and off for about 20 years. Started with 2 lines, got bored of just flying in circles and ground passes, so I moved on to 4 lines. I got intrigued by trick flying and got myself a Box of Tricks, but unfortunately struggled on my own trying to learn how to get it to do anything special. So finally in the past 3 years I started to learn true trick flying. Unfortunately, I have years of experience twizzling that I am struggling to unlearn as I try to slack line fly.
