Where's Bryan?

[noel]

Not once in the video do you see the riders let go of the bar while riding. That is because it does not fly by it self. You must tell the kite to turn left, turn right, kite loop, etc... What the kite does do is "auto-zienith". When you let go of the bar, it (the kite) will automaticly goto the zienith. 12 o'clock or neutral and only if the lines are perfectly even. Hense the term "auto-zienith". It will not land itself or launch itself so saying it flys itself is not a good statement to tell a noob.

PS - Sorry for not knowing that you posted the add. The post says "Where's Bryan" not "Where's Tom".

forget about Bryan and Tom.... im still trying to find Waldo....been looking since the 3rd grade




had to lighten the thread up

This is an easy one.
Mike needs to take a pic of the kite and show us the spars removed (sounds like it was not possible to remove them).

I too am not trying to start a fight, but one thing has become ABUNDANTLY clear to me in the last year. On the internet, he said/she said is a losing situation, because facts are conveniently left out or tweaked. It's quite sickening.
It's the primary reason I don't say too much about "situations" anymore. It's sort of pointless when people take lying so lightly.

In this case, a simple pic of the kite will solve the issue of whether the spars are in there. Right?

I have known Bryan an awful long time. He is not perfect. But, the last thing I would ever expect of him is to purposefully lie to make a buck.
I have seen him just give stuff away or sell it at a loss, so that sounds way out of character.

If the spars are gone and the zippers aren't totally torn to shreds, I will PayPal this guy 40 bucks and help to resolve the issue.
Bryan has been known to forget on occasion.
I have no idea what the original conversation was, and don't care. I haven't called Bryan and asked him about this... again, I don't care.
Bryan has given me well over 40 bucks of burgers, drinks and kite stuff over the last 6 years.

If no pic comes up on here, or if one does, but the region where the spars were look like wolves attacked it, I won't be too impressed.
If it comes up with no spars and the area is clear, Mike will get his money today using PayPal.

I still remember when the kiting community was small and relatively tight knit. We all knew one another. Those days are long gone.

speaking of internet transactions...

I knew a guy who bought a kite that was in "Excellent condition with no repairs"

and the reality was there were about 5 pinholes in the kite, very small. Even though I would not consider that excellent condition the add did say no repairs which makes you think there would be nothing to repair when in fact there were some small holes.

So no repairs doesn't mean no damage...

i will call you today.

the kite does fly itself.
why do you have to bring zenith into this?
they make great television sets.

Wow, by looking at all the views this thread has generated, i'm kinda bummed out.
i guess its all about the negative.
look how few views the real positive threads get.

Bryan,
I need some window/screen work done at the house and at my office. Give me a call on Monday so we can take a look at those projects.

I thought this thread was more about people supporting you than anything.

Still nothing. E-mail last friday looking for my address. Said he couldn't get PayPal to work. (BTW, Bryan, you should at least be able to tell from PayPal that I paid more than the price of the kite, i.e. I paid the shipping!)

Sent the address to him that night (over a week ago). Apparently a check is tough to send out too.

Bryan, it's such a small thing, right? $40 is a small thing, I guess, but a person's word isn't a small thing. Why can't you make it right?

These things are what the PM function is for.

Enough already.
