HI, we are the latest pairs team to start in the u.k. We are 
called team 'Air Spirits' and fly Shuriken pro comps. We are a  
brothers, i'm 15 and Gareth is 17. I have been flying kites for 
over three years now and first started on the team hawaian.
	As we are new we are looking for any usfull tips for 
building routines e.t.c bearing in mind we are both national 
level flyers and don't need any basics!!
	WE also have many other kites, 10 in fact. ranging from 4 
flexifoil power kites to a tim benson phantom and a box of 
tricks. Hope to be winning cups soon,
			Tight lines
				Luke and Gareth of Air spirits.

Welcome and good luck competing! :-)

Best advice? Practise, practise, practise. As far as music goes,
pick something you like. If you have several shorter peices you
like, splice them together to make time regulations. If you do this
later, try to pick some pieces with varrying tempos. I'm working on
an _Outer Limits_ medley myself right now.

Listen to the music extemsively. Know it well. Try to correograph
a routine to the music while listening to it. Practise with a 
stick set. But no mater how much stick practise you do, it's still
completely different when you get out on a field with kites in
your hand. So fly a bunch. But you really need to work on all
the elements. 

(Gee Steve, you should listen to you own advice....) ')

Gentle breezes, (from pretty much of a soul flier till this season)
