Dang dude that was rough. I hate that feeling when you are in the air and lose control knowing you are getting owned. Was that the new 12m

holy crap!

Sorry Feyd but I only reserve ice for my hockey games!!

Man, that was straight up scary! I really hope the outcome of that was not as bad as it seems.

Ouch man, that looks like it had to be real painful. Not the most forgiving surface at low speed, let alone 50mph.

Hope you're not too sore.

Let that be a lesson to all you out there...

...ain't no woman worth chasing ;):rolleyes:

It's what happens when you pay too much attention to your wife...

PrairieWind - 28-2-2011 at 10:16 PM

or not enough attention to your wife...

You finally shared that huh :lol: now you gonna have to fight off questions about the prototype you were flying ...

Sometimes when you push your limits the limits push back right?:wee:

What can I say? I like fast women and sometimes when you chase fast women you get burned.

Had a little issue with a spar and it caused a front end collapse on one side throwing the kie into a loop. I should have done a preflight check but I slacked off in my hurry to get out and burn some miles.

I'm lucky it didn't happen a few days earlier when I went 70mph. I don't think I would have walked away from that one.

The lesson here is check your gear, check it often.
