Fun Day!! (Video Posted)


Had fun!! :wee: Blinged out Flexboardz Haize, 18M North Rhino on double line set...and little 14M HQ Neo2...very cool kite....

The guys all kept the ribbed rubbers out of sight so I wasn't too nervous...although there was mention of having a woodie and some sort of pill that makes you have one...(shrug)... I'm a pro at rolling in mid-conversation...



Sign of a good day's riding...Bling Bling Flexboardz becomes Sand Sand Wheeled Thingy... :singing:


Still figuring out the BB code to insert youtube but here's a link riding the Neo 2:

Intellicast is the one that I use the most. As accurate as any other but the hourly and the radar images are helpful.

Why would you ask about rain gear, Steve? Nothing but sun and wind out of the west. Rode to the river and back with the 12.5 Century and was past by a guy who was clocking me at 32mph, Nice day at the beach. Even had a go in the Libre with the new tires/wheels. All I need now is dark tinted windows and a loud stereo with to much base.

Yes, yes, yes!!!! What a great weekend. Got to fly 3 different Combats on Saturday, 10.3, 8.6 and the 7.2 (had to keep dropping in size :)) And then for Sunday when the winds were pretty light got to open up the newest family member, the 15.4. Can you say "A River to the Rocks Run"? The locals all know what I'm talking about. Although I do have to add a disclaimer that I used a little help for the last 3 miles. Thanks again Josh :thumbup:

Great weekend, great friends and WAY overdue.
