Never said I know everything Dave. I was asking the guy for an informed opinion just like puppet on a string was. Not sure what your beef is with me, nor why you are being so aggressive. Your last post called me an elitist cocksucker. Where the hell did you get that from.
Yet you seem to think it is alright with your little lessons like above.
When we met I assumed you were a decent bloke with a good sense of humor and I am still trying to stay that way. But you are making it really hard.
Again not sure why you choose to adopt such an aggressive tone, infact I am quite perplexed.
Also what the hell have I been pimping on this thread. I actually want to hear a decent review as a friend has asked me about them to start kitesurfing with. I haven't said a bad thing about them.
Mate you need a reality check buddy, your attitude towards me has very little basis. Nor the verbal attacks are warranted.
What exactly am I pimping, what is gods name has gotten into you?.
Why the fluid? Thought you were onto best ts. Love to try the Peter Lynn's.
A right to reply: First of all everybody knows you love the rebel, and you have every right to your opinion. Yet dont pimp it at every opportunity you see fit. I GAVE you a bar and lines complete for a $15 bottle of wine for your brother after you bagged BEST on this forum.....
Where did I call you an "elitist cocksucker",?????
On this thread I dont know but 47-50 replys on the BWS thread Vs Rebel borders on insanity. Let it go....
So What you have a gripe with me on the internet??? You said PM people that you consider un-biased, I get at least 5-10 a week as I can test any brand and give an honest (mabe biased review), at least I have the credentials to back it up, from a sports science and acquisition of motor skills background. And Yes I fly the Bet TS (taboo Series V2).
As far as being agressive, get a grip. If I was agressive to you verbally, Im sorry....
You called be a elitist cocksucker the last time you mentioned the best bar you cheaply gave away to my bro, which was much appreciated by the way. I tried to find it but couldn't.
When have I ever knocked best?. When did I do it on this thread? Infact after your positive review of the TS I have also mentioned this kite is worth trying. Also what do I gain to pimp a kite? Not affiliated in any way to anyone, I have nothing to gain.
If you read my last review I gave a much more positive spin on the C4, mentioned the limitations of the rebel, and ended up getting a Vegas for farq sake and yet making the point next year I will be demoing the C4 again as it was such a great experience riding with one.
If you look At the comments on the review people were very happy with it, it was useful to them. I thought it gave an opinion that was backed by some technical but pragmatic flying detail. What started your rant earlier was puppet was asking the guy for an informed review rather than " I don't like it". I was supporting this idea.
As far as 47 posts the thread meandered all over the place so the posts were not just about the rebel, all sorts of stuff came out. Infact that is how I found out about the Vegas in the surf and also led to testing the C4. I have been clear on the limitations of the rebel and given a balanced view I thought.
As far as your credentials, know one is arguing about that, and I haven't said you know FCk all, which you said to me. Maybe I don't have a sport science background, maybe I don't get to demo as many kites as you, but I've been around since the two line foils. I have watched and flown all the major evolutions of the kite and there are a number of others. Surely this gives me some practical comparitive credentials.
True though in the early days I rode everything I could, last three years have not ridden s many as I would have liked, not as many as you.
But for you to imply that I don't have the credentials to back it up, is indeed elitist in nature.
Maybe you are the elitist cocksucker after all, I shouldn't give an opinion because you have got a university degree! Well I have 4 of them, just not in sports science! I have taught physical education for a number of years, does that help with your credential measurement.
Your post that started this most would agree was aggressive in nature and so was the the one I couldn't find or bother to spend time to find when you produced a very similar tone.
Maybe that is just your style, if so, that's cool.
For the record I do love the rebel, but I also think there are manyu brilliant kites out there.
Also I do enjoy your technical posts, they are well thought out and informative. More of this and less attacking posts would be appreciated by me anyway.
When can I demo the best TS?.
You can fool some people some times..
