Man thats super awesome. I remember going to parks in the early 2000's and seeing people flying those things, and they were always the coolest people there. Are there communities for it, or do you mostly just do it for gigs?

There's a bit of a community, but it is too small to show up much on most social media. Almost all of it is on Facebook these days, which is the only reason I have a FB account.
