Forget the power kites, more fun can be had with trick kites! Before the power wave swept the world the main buzz in the kite community was around trick flying or freestyle. Take a look at the video above and I’m sure that you’ll agree that what can be done is cool. But don’t be fooled, the tricks are extremely hard to perform! If you have never tried this before I suggest you take a look on the Fractured Axel forum for some tips. You can pick up a cheap second hand kite there as well to get you going. If you have some more cash take a look at the Benson site. A great DVD showing you how to do the latest tricks is available called Trick or Treat.
