Neil, how dare you promote the money grabbing BKSA!!!!! For south wales lessons get in touch with RUSH EXTREME, theyre sound guys.

Defo have lessons, safer and quicker. A decent set up will cost you around agrand new, if you go for a bow kite.

sorry Shem was only pointing him towards a list of schools;
bksa are not necessarily money grabing, they have created for themselves an income in the first place and must therefore keep re inventing ways of perpetuating that income. if any one is daft enough to contribute towards their income thats their look out! i personally will not and i know that you wont either, however you have to admire initiative!
