hampton kiter meet

have fun _____, be sure to stop at scud and jump mecca for me! I finished the rear axle assy. Now I gotta make the actual axles.

We did Jason! Hope your havin fun in OBX! We had good N wind at 8:00 this morn, but it started fading as it turned east. And by the time it was east, it was high tide

Clint , I had a great time. Nice to meet your other half finally, the wife really likes her.(she doesn't have any girlfriends that fish or kite) She had a great time and says she's gonna teach Patsy to catch fish! Hope ya'll had a good time. Boy ,I'm tired now !All that scuddin and jumpin this mornin wore me to a frazzle! Hope I didn't get ya hooked on REVS, your gonna have one before you know it. Did you look up those synchronized rev teams? I'm gonna go look at some now, it never gets old. I just don't see how they do it.( bet they went through alot of linesets learning that stuff). Be back in here later dude

_____, Nick brought out some webbing for your bug.I guess I gotta sew now huh? Or do you wanna give it a go?

Nick , had a good time hangin out with you and Clint today. sorry the wind petered out on us, but when the wind and the tide come together it's a blast. Maybe next time bro'

welcome to the forum. Come on down whenever like were always happy to fly. Thar are several flyer's in the DC area STACKflyer comes to mind

Welcome bro, and hell yeah you can come out. PM me for details cause were tryin to keep it on the DL ,so this place doesn't get too crowded. Heck ,you can find me there in february! I'm a die -hard kiter for life now!! And I have no prob teaching or sharing my kites. And I think my buds are the same!

jest interesting

I had fun down there guys but an happy to be back home. I missed you all

As far as the webbing, I can sew it Donny no biggie. Gonna have to wait till the siderails are on though right?

yes , lookywhat I'm doin now. I really like this buggy, gonna be hard to part with her. I'm gonna have to ask for visitation rights!

I'm not done bending yet, this is a critical phase .If I %#$@& get a little off, it's not gonna look right. and will throw the geometry out of whack And I got more welding to do. Still have to make axles out of stainless steel ,drill for hardware(S.S.), sand hard corners and edges. I'll leave the seat for you to come up with. And wheels.
What do ya think so far? I have no drawing,I've never made one like this at all. In fact this is #3 , oh wow, that's DALES # OMG !

It's alot longer than it looks in that pic, but when I make the last bends ,it will shorten.The down tube will be adjustable, for long legged peoples! Got footpeg height adjustments too. Oh yeah ,I gotta have those ( holy crap, I almost forgot about footpegs!:o ) !!!

pic2 footpeg mounting brkt. not finshed yet.( these are a couple of my many build pics that I keep on file)

I WANNA DNA TEST! I'M A 1000% SURE.......( maury)

I ain't payin' no child support!..... @%$##^!!

Musta been the tequila!

I currently have no need for steel plate,sorry. But Thanx anyway bro'. you be careful out there , listen for thunder. Don't wanna end up like that jogger at sandbridge!

3rd island is reading NE at 20mph. I'd be their but I'm prepping for WVA

woo - hoooooo!!!!!!! I had a blast ! got to my secret location about 12:00 ,tide was high .So I drank beer and played w/ my little pansh aces, man for a little kite they sure can fling ya around! About 3:00 the hard sand started showing and I started buggyin! The wind was perfectly out of the east. I tore the beach up for a couple of hours then I started hearin this sound I can't even describe. But I know what bit means , a bearing race just disintegrated ! That didn't stop me though I was havin way too much fun. So now I'm home and I gotta tear down the wheels to replace bearings! Anyway you guys missed a kick ass day, but I did about 50- 60 runs up and down the beach . Today was the kind of day I dream of!:D

glad you had a good time if the condition's hold I may be try'n out a new spot in franklin Thursday or Friday. It will be less then ideal but worth a try

have fun in the hills bro' don't drink too much shine'!:singing:

shine? -hickp-nevar tuch the stfff -hickp-

Ain't no shame in it bro'. We all have to do it. But not today for me, Iwuz haulin azz both ways like I had a motor.I even pulled off a 360*, but the 180* right after snatched me out backwards! I didn't crash the kite though:D Wish you woulda been there . I would have had you buggyin

Originally posted by clintopher The wind chart looked like it was totally in your favor. You must have been screemin' up and down that beach. Were you able to buggy back to the entrance?

It was gettin better and better as it got later! I hated to leave, but the missus was with me and started feelin bad so we cut out. I see sat. looks pretty good ,but the low tide is gonna be at 8 am. I gotta get up early to ride!

my new field,s not to shabby. It's no kite beach but it's usable managed to git in a 40 min session this afternoon. Holding the right line up wend is tough when theirs no surf line/high water line to go bye. buggyn in reverse was fun:duh:

Imagine what it would be like out on a dry lake, where you could go for a couple of miles.

I'm at the beach waitin' on the wind

will be there waiting on the wind(and tide) ,drinkin brew,and flyin somethin'

maybe every day!

no beach today boston butts on grizill!:D

SPRINT

thanks Nick! you da man

hello ello llo lo o !where the heck is everybody? Well the beach sucks now, hanna did a little remodeling. now there are millions of rocks all over the sand and do they hurt your butt when they fly up and hit the bottom of the seat. It'll be a few mos. before the sand comes back, if it comes back:o Haven't had alot of spare time lately,that thing called life keeps gettin in the way. On a better note my mailman brought my Bday present to me today. Actually I left work early due to wind, went to TCC Portsmouth campus to buggy on the soccer fields. Had a blast, wind was 20+ ,w/gusts to 30+.But I broke out the 4.7 RAGE w/ the AAA, and it rocks ,as always. Then I saw the damn stickers in my tires!:o Holy crap! I had to get outta there quik,hopefully I won't get a flat .But I was powerslidin' and stuff , so I will probably have to patch a tire soon. Anyway when I got home, I checked the mailbox and there was one of those slips you get when they got a pkg. for you, but you weren't there. I looked down the street and saw the mail truck parked on the side st.I took off runnin', caught my most favorite postman ever. And got my present , took it home, opened it up and BAM!!

It has been quiet lately. That sucks about the beach Ive been going through wend withdrawals all day but been to busy to fly. The nasa wings will open up a lot more ground for me to fly susan working on mine now Getting ready fore JIBE wowhoo:smug:
