Dlish and I found a sod farm that we worked a permission to fly on deal... we are going to try and get in good with the farm manager so we can frequent this spot... all I can give in location information is pictures and as for now we must keep this top secret...


This photo only shows a 1/4 or less of the location...
Phenomenal is the only word I know to describe it...
Let us schmoose'em a lil more and then we still might be selfish with it and keep it all our own

Great day...

Wow, I'm jealous. I have been looking for a spot like that here in TX for a while. No luck here. How did you guys go about it?

man it looks like I am going to have to save some gas money! A good hr and a half from my house. one way. Nice find go do something nice for the guy I will help anyway I can. Congrats. Hey SCREWEY, We are going to have to hook up. Don't be trying to steal my kiting buddy Dino either.:evil: I hooked up with him when he first got started kiting it was way back when he only had 1 kite. The only reason I am not by his side is because of injury. So don't be trying to hold out any secrets from me Dlish and I are bros' he can't hold out.:P See ya soon.

Stop whining you lost him...

whats the matter with the lil scratch on your toe you got 8 more...

serious... Dlish isn't enough for me I was looS-P-A-M-L-I-N-K-n for the treo... so get better and complete this treo-musketeers...:singing:

Get Well

no no no... GET WELL SOON...

I'm trying! You guy's going kiting without me is the painful part now.:D

AHH.. CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG :saint:

Just look at all the grass:o

Where where where!! Tell me it's near Dublin!

No... its apx 1hr & 20min (give or take) from Dub... but when we are ready to introduce new folks to the farm you'd be more than welcome to meet up with me in livermore and we could cruz together...

Sweet!

8.......to...e.....s.....I'm not even going to ask..... Is that a blaze in those pictures? That field....that field.....*drools*

Yea It looks like a Blaze to me. Dlish said they tried some 5's that day.

Yes... Blaze 5m for sure... only difference is Dlish was flying it on a HQ control bar... and hooked in... good fun...:D
"PHOTOS BE BACK SOON"
Dang!!! That's a lot of green... gonna go visit again this week, for sure...

It was a 5m day... Crossfire II 5m, Blaze 5m (on a bar) and Ace 5m (with AOA mod)...:singing: I had my Naish Helix 9m but my dumb ass forgot the bar and lines... :puzzled: next go around I'll get her up...

Dino, how did the blaze fly on the bar?

Flew good.
We tried before on a standard quad bar and it was horrible. I got a x-over bar from HQ and it flew great. I don't think it was as good as handles but it was close. I need to adjust the brakes alittle and get some more time on it before my final judgement is in.

That was quick. Is that the new depower blaze2?

nope.. just a standard blaze, but there is a blazeII on the way.

Quiver looking good. Man I have to do something about mine I only have 3 kites to fly 1.8, 3.0, 6.4! I need to fill in the gap. Any wind in the forcast for this wekend? You guys going to the new farm? Let me know.

Today is tue. 6/10/08. Wind is pretty violent here right now. 26 gusting to 40. Are you guy's going to the farm? Wen. is going to be supreme wind at about 18-20. Get ready. Who is going? Let me know.

So how have your schmoozing efforts been going out there - anything we could help with? Does the location have any wind shadows or tumblers (tree lines, etc...)? Keep in touch.

It's phenomenal... no tree lines... (some trees in the distance but not lined up, more spread out and far away) I'm unsure of what a wind shadow/tumbler is... assuming that it dirties the wind I'd say no... The wind there was very clean the first time we went, the second time was high wind day (25-30mph) and gusty, I think due to the high winds... was changing directions a lil also...

Dlish is doing a great job at schmooz'n and I got to get my schmooz'n on... we got permission to buggy last wed. and we'll get out there tomorrow and maybe get some more schmooz'n in... I'm thinking of a fruit basket or a box of candy... any suggestions... Heck maybe I'll get them a photo of me in a frame... just kidding, don't wanna get kicked out... I'm thinking down the road, if I can find out the beer they drink, I'll get'em a 24 pack (don't know if thats a bad idea)...:puzzled:

Any ideas would be great...

How about a signed release of liability - which anyone that goes out there can sign. It takes the risk off their backs. A fruit basket and some chocolates is a good idea too.

Do you have any or know where to find them? I talked to Dlish bout that also... but don't want scare them either... you'd have to approach them just right to offer that one... It's defiantly a great gesture and be worth having them,:saint: at least for back up... I'm gonna bring that up with Dlish again...

Here is some pics of last week

The place is great...

I would go today but 3 is just a little late for me to be able to make it. its 2 hrs for me one way so I need to make a day out of it. We will have to hook up on a weekend or something. Pitty to because after today the wind will die down and going to be a 100-102 this weekend. Get your fun in today.

Oh, Maybe you can ask them if there is anything we could do for them? Any kind of card or basket always says thank you also. I am in for whatever they want just let me know because spots to fly like that are priceless. It would be nice to know when they harvest the sod also. Is there other fields around there? or just that main one? Reason I ask is because the farm in Davis they pretty much leave the field we fly in until last. Thats cool. It is nice if they keep it mowed. because if it get to thick it slows you down alot. also may want to know when they do that it would sux to plan a day and get there and have them working. Maybe get a # to call before you go out. That may be too much. Ask about some do and dont's too. That couldn't hurt.

Our own little kite festival... what a great day...

It really was! I am so ready to do that again. Although we did kinda over run the place that day with alot of people.

When you coming back out?
We got a Blade IV 6.5m for you to give a try...:o:wow:

Awww Man, I know. I got a shot with tridudes 4.9 Can't wait to fly the 6.5!! There will be some big air jumps with that! I live 2 hrs away and work all week. So I need a little heads up on when to show up. Dakitez usually calls if its a good day! I will give you my # to so we can keep in touch.:cool2:

Where's MUTHA NATURE!!!!!!

Oh she is here!! With no wind and blistering heat!!:flaming: 100 degrees here again today.
