June we were all at the Lincoln City Summer Festival and the NBC Brian Williams Rock Center camera crew was there Friday, Saturday and Sunday filming.

Here's one of the NBC videos: Behind the scenes

http://video.msnbc.msn.com/rock-center/48004410#48004410

and this is what aired on Rock Center:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/48007076#48007076

and here's the iQuad demo performance:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=tSHLu51TS84

iQuad members flying are John Barresi, David Hathaway, Steve de Rooy, Barry Poulter, Willow Robin and Takako Barresi.

They are flying on quad line sets of 90# x 120' of Laser Pro Gold. That's six kites, with 4 lines each, at 120'...is a grand total of 2,880 feet. Watch the demo again, and this time watch the flyers as they move in and out and around as the lines wrap and unwrap. A big Thank You to the folks at Laser Pro for providing the spools of line to make this possible!

Visit the iQuad team homepage for more information, videos, and their schedule where they are appearing next!
