Wickedrevs Windy World

Who is “Wickedrevs”?

The nickname “wickedrevs” came about quite late in my life, as a kite flyer actually.

I was making kites while overseas in the Eastern Caribbean islands from palm frond ribs and scraps of newsprint or tissue paper when I was but a teenager with my younger brother helping.

Many years later I was exposed to dual line sport kites while at a beach resort town when traveling in Mexico.

I pursued the sport kite hobby at a Galveston, TX kite shop, purchasing and taking my little sport kite back to Arizona to play with. Upon returning to Texas a year later, I was exposed to quad-line kites called “Revolutions” and was transfixed by them.

You see the image of “Wickedrevs” flying a Rev Blast, large kite capable of propelling the hobbyist on a mountain board, or a kite buggy. I was called out as being “wicked” with my moves flying Revolution kites——“wickedrevs” was born!!

  • Cooped Up Crazy

    This quarantine is driving us all a bit nuts… You need to be careful, people are going crazy about being in lockdown. I’ve actually just been talking about this with the microwave and toaster while drinking coffee and all of us agreed things are getting worse. I didn’t mention anything to the washing machine as…

  • Share The Love

    It was such a pleasure to share the love of kites the other day. I was asked by the “Social Worker” here at the facility of my memory was “functional”…and my reply was I still knew the names of at least twenty types of kites, “does that count”??Then I said ” check I even have…

  • Higher Education

    While this is primarily a “kite” blog, I recently ran across a bit of Texas history and thought to share. These days the government owned school system is totally geared to push all students into a “state university”. They are repeatedly told that is the only way they will be worth anything in the future…

  • Why I Dont Eat “HOT” Chili

    My friend Billy sent this to me, enjoy! I went to the Home Depot recently while not being altogether sure that course of action was a wise one. You see, the previous evening I had prepared and consumed a massive quantity of my patented ‘you’re definitely going to s**t yourself’ roadkill chili. Tasty stuff, albeit…

  • Peeing On The Flowers…..

    I had the following sent to me by a friend, it was immediately obvious it should be shared….. A little old lady was walking down the street dragging two large plastic garbage bags behind her. One of the bags was ripped and every once in awhile a $20 bill fell out onto the sidewalk. Noticing…

  • Eleven, eleven, eleven?

    The other day we were discussing the 11,11,11 meaning and we agreed that most under the age of 30 would have NO CLUE what the significance was. In fact many young people lack knowledge of 911 other than the emergency switchboard…. So here I have the meaning of Veterans Day other than no school or…
