Ps i think axle is the ameriacan way or something like that.

Nope. An Axle is something you find on a car. An axel is an ice-skating jump that the kite trick was named after. The skating jump was named after a guy called Axel something-or-other.

Sorry to be such a stickler...

You could bookmark the site (Ctrl-D in most browsers) and then you wouldn't have to type it every time.

Its a G-Force STD
I had a great flight today but I bropke a spar 15 minutes in which ended my day. However i did pull some half AXELS and acidentally did a lazy suzan.
Id keep flying but im out of knocks.

WTF there are so many resources out there for the kiting fraternity, check out the links fora for starters and you are looking for kite related things for when the wind is not favourable.
