Did I hear "Disc Golf? I'll bring my discs. JI doesn't have a course, but we could make one up.

As to me being the "safer" option, I think a little full disclosure is in order. No one was injured in my tandem last year, but I did have one brain fart and crashed the buggy straight into the surf. It was a rapid and very wet deceleration. It will likely not happen again, but the odds are not zero. The moral is, don't let me talk too much or I'll get distracted.

More disclosure: my philosophy on tandem is "If can't feel the G-force, you can't feel the G-force." When I have passengers I go up one size in kites to make sure I have the juice for some rip-roaring acceleration and some good top speed. You will absolutely have to hang on tight.

Duly noted... I, on the other hand, tend to fly under powered,.... Lets see what happens

Hello you all,
I'll be following PoKiteTrash down on Wednesday AM. Got to cover his back side and pick up whatever falls off the Kite Fort! :-)

Bringing down a newbie OOBE Field Dirt Diver. Actually he's got a year under his belt and is excited about buggy on the sand. He's a fast learner and a great all around nice fellow.

Angus has approved the new official JIBE 2013 T-shirt. Looks great! I'll be printing on black tees, a multi color print with a crest print on the front and a full color back print.

Angus needs to get those shirt orders in soon so he can get all the right sizes for everyone so please get registered asap.

There will also be event stickers to match for helmets or vehicles or what ever.

Looking forward to a great JIBE this year, see you all soon.:wee:

YO!!!

Aqua maybe

You got it guys...........don't forget your harnesses............

Yep harness comming with the depower kite

Wife and I and dog and cat will be there Tue PM -Sun am.
Bringing the Navarro and the big Revs. Maybe I can learn how to use 'em up there!
Also hope to be bringing a Blokart with the sidecar setup to see if it will work on the beach.
Bob

Big Revs? I never flown revs for power but revs are great flying kites I have a 1.5 sle

I also have a 1.5 SLE.
Wait until you grab hold of a Power Blast 2-4, or if you're a REAL (troglodyte) man, the 4-8!
I've only had the 4-8 up once in almost no wind. In 15 mph winds the 2-4 will abuse you about all a sane person could want.
Like the other kid said about Mikey: "TRY it , you'll LIKE it!" :bouncy:
Bob

Duplicate post...nervous trigger finger!
Bob

ARRGGHHHH!!!!
Actually, I'm just trying to get to 100 posts before JIBE by saying everything twice, and then replying to myself!
Bob

Hey gang, I have a small 5 gal porter cable compressor and the attachment for tire valves so as to inflate tires. I was considering bringing it to share with the gang if anyone wants to add air to tires etc.

Would it be worth bringing, or is it just as easy to share a hand pump? I'm perfectly comfortable to leave it in the care of the kitefort gang.

If I brought it, would it be used, or is it just not worth it?

I have a 12v compressor that, with some coercion, is enough to set the bead on the rim in the case of tubeless tires.

I change my own motorcycle tires, so I have a really good set of tire irons I can bring if we're going to do this sort of thing. My bead breaker is a bit of overkill for these little guys. Someone should be able to jump on the sidewall with enough force to unseat the bead.
Bob

There's 12 & 120 volt outlets on the outside the Kite Fort for any type of compressor.

So is it worth the trouble to bring it then or is it overkill?

More power! /Tim Allen grunts

Ok then, I'll do my best to fit it in my kitemobile.

Wife, two Schnoodle dogs and a van full 'o stuff. Be there the third and all of the week. The wife thinks we should retire to Jekyll. I must be dreaming....
Got helmets for the dogs so they won't be scared when Todd crashes a kite on them!

I THINK I remember giving it to Angus? Maybe? I remember seeing it after cleaning up the kite buggy depot. I dont have it though.
