I have posted this before I think But oes anyone fly there? I hooked up with a flexi guy ther once But he was paragliding. I havent seen or heard of
any flying ther in awhile But Some one knows who donated that big field at the top of the hill behind Thunder valley Casino.

I work near there...its worthless.......although on the other side of the highway I have noticed an access road out in the fields...it may be a bike
trail.. no poles or trees....one day I will check it out....

So hey, Where do you fly?
art_lessing - 18-10-2007 at 11:10 AM
I fly in three places...one mostly...there is a sod farm in davis that we go to...its rad.. the wind is good and solid when windy ...you can go in any
direction if you start in the middle of the field...somedays the sprinklers make the run short...ocean beach of course...that place is great4 miles of
beach and at low tides and west wind you can run the whole beach...its fun because unlike the sod farm which is lonely at times...the beach has people
who love to check out what your doing.....and then there is White Lake Nevada...15 minutes north of reno....1.5 sq mile dry lake bed...its gets muddy
in the winter though.........

Can I get directions to the sod farm? That would be a dream. I like lonely. Sometimes. Thanks.

38.530207,-121.687617 on google maps....use the sattelite view...I enter from the first E_W dirt road just north of the fields from Mace
BLVD....its dirt but I follow it to the end and then make a right and double back on the runway.....
call me for better directions...there is a rule that I follow..my own rule...just go out there and be humble...the field workers are super cool...wave
to them and show them a friendly face...its all good to go......call me if you get lost....oh and I don't go out there during business hours...I keep
it to weekends and after 5.....gimme a shout if you get lost

khooke - 4-11-2007 at 02:25 PM
Sthrasher - ping myself and dagon if you're heading out there and we can meet you there as well....
Sthrasher38 - 5-11-2007 at 07:08 PM
That sounds great! Some local kiters! As soon as we can get some wind. I will do just that. Thanks. How is the Blaze working for you?
khooke - 6-11-2007 at 12:17 AM
The Blaze is very sweet - pulls like a train in very low winds. It turns like a bus but it's quite predictable. No thrills, but what do you expect for
the price, can't beat it 
art_lessing - 6-11-2007 at 04:14 PM
some day the winids will return......
Sthrasher38 - 7-11-2007 at 06:54 PM
Some day, Sooner than later I hope.
art_lessing - 8-11-2007 at 01:27 PM
sunday!!!!!!!at the sod farms....looks like 10-15 n.....which means we can hit the runway....bring slime for your tires...I have a bike pump...but the
road has star thistle which flattens our tires regularly....I am going to be there all day
DAKITEZ - 8-11-2007 at 07:37 PM
Art would you mind if I came out also ? I don't buggy, but I sure would like to watch. I will just fly static out of the way. I won't be offended if
you say no. So if I will be in the way, just let me know. Thanks
art_lessing - 8-11-2007 at 08:34 PM
well I just checked the weather again and it may or may not happen.....and you could always try one of our buggies......while we take a break...so
sure thing..and my name is dan....I will be out there probably around nine or so.....916-412-7042
DAKITEZ - 9-11-2007 at 07:36 AM
I will be there. I see a possibility of rain, that would suck.
Sthrasher38 - 9-11-2007 at 08:14 PM
I will also do my best to be there! I'll be standing flat foot also. My son has my boards he is out of town And my bug won't be here until Christmas I
have to pick it up in Hollywood Ca. Not much experience on any but would love to see some people in action! Hope I can make it.
lunchbox - 9-11-2007 at 08:31 PM
Hey Sthrasher...when you pick up your buggy, you should set some time aside and hit up El Mirage Dry lake bed. Great place to ride and the wind is
almost always blowing. Got a little obstacle course at the edge also...blast. Let me know when you're in town and maybe we can hook up.
Sthrasher38 - 10-11-2007 at 06:30 AM
If I have time I will. It won't be until somewhere around the 28th of Dec. though.
Sthrasher38 - 11-11-2007 at 07:44 PM
Hey! Art & Khooke! What happend? Hope you guys are ok. dlish & I went where you invited us and there was no-one there. We both tried to call
you two at no prevail. Not a sorry we can't make it or nothing. Hope you guys are ok. Unless you meant 9:00pm. Well anyway we had a blast!
The wind was about 15mph. gusting to about 20. Great All day. We had butt
scudd races I had my son theatherd to me on the 6.4 He flew up about 25-30 ft. and then just floated right down. Scared him a little He did not try
again until later in the day. I got off some good 10ft.+ jumps. dlish89 on the para wing got to sliding so fast across the grass at one point he hit a
puddle of water and I thought he was wake boarding!
we didn;t have anything to
ride so we did our best. Lots of laughs and smiles good long day for all of us. Hey, dlish send me a u2u with your E-mail address and I will try to
send you a video of the race. By the way how does your butt feel from a long day of gr-ass riding.
DAKITEZ - 11-11-2007 at 08:18 PM
BUTT HURTS !!!!
DAKITEZ - 11-11-2007 at 08:40 PM
u2u sent just let me know what pics you want posted and I will get them on here.
hooray for wind!!!
art_lessing - 11-11-2007 at 09:14 PM
hey you guys..I did make it out to the sod farm...I had a dead phone so I couldn't call....I got some excellent buggy runs in today. the wind was
just right for my 4.5, and my friend had his blade 4 and that was good to...had a great time today..the wind slowed down though so the bug was
underpowered a bit the 4.5....but then my friend busted out the 8m ace...that thing looks rad..and its BIG!!!
we can hook up again later
Dan
