WELDNGOD - 18-10-2009 at 06:14 PM

DUDE!!! THAT FREAKIN ROCKS!!! YOU DA MAN!:thumbup: And you are welcome anytime. Thanks Todd, the missus says "hi" too. Bad a$$ cam dude .

I wish I could of hooked up with you guys...it's not very often when the planets align for perfect conditions on that beach.

jellis - 18-10-2009 at 09:08 PM

Great vids but did I see a Hardcore with special tuning spacers between the rear axle and rail, a stainless steel V-Max drop down stem, new wide spray guard that just came out, and a custom cargo net in the rear?

Todd - 19-10-2009 at 06:30 AM

Thanks for the compliments! I enjoy putting these together for everyone to view and this was the perfect rainy weekend to catch up on them.

Jon, yep you pretty much covered everything except the spray guard is the one that came with it almost two years ago when I bought it from you.

It now rides on some pimp rims from A Wind Of Change and Duros

Nice vid....looks like you guys had a really good time...jealous of those beaches!

From the vid, it looks directly onshore...is that the dominant direction there? Also looks like a great place to kiteboard. Does it blow side/sideon as well?

WELDNGOD - 20-10-2009 at 02:49 PM

We had a kick a$$ time, coulda used a little more wind thought but it was east and low tide so it was on. East and NE are the best wind , but we get a little of everything here. Todd is a real cool guy to ride with, he will let ya ride his Libre too:thumbup: I wanted to ask ya Todd ...... were you holdin back , or did I walk away from you? Sure looked like it in the vid. I must have been hitting a touch of brakes for the afterburner effect. It was fun as heck, and I can't wait to go to wildwood.

shehatesmyhobbies - 20-10-2009 at 03:21 PM

Another great video Todd. Looks like a sweet beach as well! Weldngod sure can fly.

Todd - 20-10-2009 at 04:16 PM

Thanks Donnie, very nice of you to say... you guys are the BEST as well! I can't wait to get back down there to let my son experience the same kind of down home hospitality.
Holding back? :lol:

:saint:

I'm sure Ragden and Rcdavis are going to chime in at this point.......I'll reserve this answer for a later post :smilegrin:


One thing is for sure and that is that I need to get more footage next time I'm there! Thanks again Bro!

SHMH you need to get down there sometime for sure.. thanks for the compliments.

ragden - 20-10-2009 at 04:47 PM

Chime in? On what? You are good at flying those big ARCs and do just fine with them. So, maybe you dont go nearly as fast as some other folks with slightly more aggressive kites. Speed isnt everything though. :)

I have to get back down there to that beach one of these days when the tides and winds line up. Long drive though. Perhaps things will line up sometime here in the not so distant future. Would be fun to actually ride with Weldngod this time, rather than just watch. That was a long time ago though... :smilegrin:

WELDNGOD - 20-10-2009 at 04:54 PM

Ragden, you are welcome any time bro'. SHMH ,you too. Just get up w/ me and i will make time .

mougl - 20-10-2009 at 04:58 PM

Between Learn to Fly and Metalingus I can't stop watching...

Time for OT at work, I need a bug SOON! lol:lol:

shehatesmyhobbies - 21-10-2009 at 12:28 PM

Thanks WELD I will have to make the trip one day. I will grab Rdavis and make the trip!

jellis - 21-10-2009 at 01:00 PM

ragden said "Speed isn't everything though."

I DISAGREE.

"I you can't go fast go home" quote from Kurt Anderson. My mentor that is not with us anymore.

Hmmm.....very, very interesting! Isn't that twice now that somebody left you behind like that? Hmm.... MUAHAHAHAHA lol:moon::singing:

Todd - 25-10-2009 at 11:44 AM

I will agree with "speed IS everything" however it just doesn't provide the best video footage.

From here on out there's going to be some pretty boring videos with all of you trying to catch up to the fat boy on fire :smilegrin:
