I think it is available in the UK. I've got a Psycho as well. It's
probably the only decent kite with Andy Preston's name on it.

I did my first ever axel with a borrowed Psycho.

My first real stunter was a "Box of Tricks". I still
love the shape - very elegant long wings.

I haven't seen one flying for ages... mine's safely
stored in my kite closet.

For me it was the original Jam Session before Dodd started
manufacturing them too

The Box is still made but with an active bridle. I have one with a 3
point bridle. The Matchbox is no longer produced. Only the Phantom Elite
is still produced out of the Phantom series. I have a Fusion also.

There were 2 Jam Sessions out at one time. One was the HQ Jam and the
ones sold by Dodd's Kite Company were made by Eolo.

My Jam Session had a leading that is not ferruled.

I've still got four of those in the attic, two with the early aluminium
frame and all with original wooden winders. Some of them might even be
flyable! :-)
