The team’s first long road trip, most of us took turns driving a cargo van all the way from Oregon to Los Angeles… Quite the haul, but well worth it!
Pilots were John Barresi, Steve de Rooy, Todd Rudolph, Cal Yuen, Justin Redington, JD Fabich, Jim Cosca and David Hathaway.
January 13-14, 2007
Our first time doing an team indoor routine… When we were invited by the World Kite Museum with the idea, we jumped at the chance and spent the better part of Friday preparing for the weekend performances, pilots were John Barresi, Todd Rudolph and David Hathaway.
Also at this same event, we took the first B-Series factory prototype out for a spin on the beach alongside a couple of our team SLEs… Super exciting, it was cool to compare them side by side in nearly perfect (but slightly chilly) beach conditions.
January 8-10, 2008
iQuad set up in the Kitelife booth at the trade show just to check out the business side of the kite industry and help in the Revolution booth.
As it turned out, our presence was well-timed as we were voted in for both “Best New Kite” (B-Series) and “Best Retail Promotional Effort” in 2007 from the KTAI membership… The latter one is pretty funny and unique, although it may appear so, because we don’t exactly promote a kite per se. We just LOVE to fly Revolutions and that carries over… Regardless, it’s quite a milestone because this was the first time a non-business entity had ever received the award.
We went out for a fly one afternoon and along with a little rain, were presented with an absolutely stunning rainbow as captured by Bell Chiu’s photos below.
October 2-7, 2006… John Barresi, Egan Davis and David Hathaway in Iowa as a sort of TRiQuad. 🙂
October 8-9, 2006 – Our first time out with the brand new custom team SLE kites!
August 23-27, 2006 – Our first “full blown” event with more than four members… John Barresi, Todd Rudolph, Egan Davis, Justin Redington, and David Hathaway.
JD Fabich, Carl Bragiel and Cal Yuen joined our ranks, we conducted our first official American mega fly, and the “mutant” Steve de Rooy made his first appearance with iQuad.
It was a great event, learning as fast as we were teaching, and it all culminated in receiving the 2006 WSIKF “People’s Choice” award!
July 8-9, 2006 – Our fourth event as a team, flew Rev I’s almost all weekend… John Barresi, Todd Rudolph and David Hathaway.
September 9-10, 2006 – just after WSIKF… John Barresi, Steve de Rooy, Todd Rudolph and JD Fabich.
Flying alongside the Northwest Sport Kite League competitions.
