New field yessssssssss! pictures


After a year of bouncing around from one crappy field after another, I finally found the perfect field for ATB. All of the previous fields are very bumpy and uneven and have semi tall grass. Starting out rolling is the hardest part on these fields because of the uneven ground. The new place is about 1.5 square miles of mowed hardpact grass/soil. It's up on a plataue type hill and recieves wind from every direction. There are no obstructions of any sort. There is a walking path that surrounds the entire property but most people never venture into te grass! Most importantly people can't have pets off of their leashes, so I have this entire space to myself without worrying about dogs jumping on my kite while it preinflates.

There are a few other powerkiters in the area, but none of the roll they all fly static. I'm so stoked to ride/fly in this space! The most rediculous part is that it's only 3 miles from my house :)

Are you talking about your secret spot? If so that looked beautiful. My field looks just like that without the hill in the middle

Yeah it's in a really strange spot, you can't see it from any roads. The way you drive to get there loops around backwards so you would never think to look or head in that direction. I'm so happy though. :)

The saddest part for me lynx69 is that you've been able to fly there for a long time and it took me this long to discover it. We are gonna have so much now that were not by ourselves

Hope to see more power kiters come out there or people interested. I have always got my 3.6 Beamer with me for the noobz. With Flyjump boosting 20 to 30 feet with his scorps, it won't be long before there is more prospects for the addiction!!
