Congrats Steve. Fantastic work there. And well done to everyone else as well with a special shout to those who really got the worst of the lack of wind.

Steve Rayner, take a bow!

That was some of the smoothest, nicest, most controlled trick flying I've seen in a long time. In fact, I think it's the nicest I've ever seen a Nirvana being flown. It would have been a performance to be proud of in ideal wind conditions. The fact that you pulled it off in such light winds made it all the more impressive.

Big respect to the rest of the fliers, too. Despite the wind (or lack thereof) everyone went out and put in the effort to entertain. I saw more 360's on Sunday than I did in the whole of the previous year! Well done to Andy P for keeping up with them all!

Well done everyone.

Wow, I don’t know what to say. :oops: But thanks

Well done to Bryan Beasley, take a look at the imposed tricks score. Very well done.

Thanks Steve.

I had entirely the wrong kite for the ballet, not being able to run backward and thrash out backspins as fast as Chris. You're Nirvana was behaving beautifully in the conditions, superb control. Like ABW said really.
