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

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!!
