flyjump, InvertedForce, Lynx69, and I kiting on Thanksgiving weekend in Illinois and Missouri.
Didn't seem to pull the camera out till most of the boarding was done and the wind had started to die down either day but it was a wicked fun weekend
with new kites!

You guys are committed! Reminds me when I would get all excited at the slightest rustle of leaves - but for you guys to be out in 37 degrees with
water on the ground (and in your pants) is inspiring, seriously. I will try and subvert the woos in me that says, "nah, its too cold". Thanks for
the motivation - hopefully some of the snow that just fell will stick around so I can give kite skiing another attempt (I try at least a couple times
a year). Again, great video, and I hope you guys get some more wind.
Oh, and from just having looked at the second video - you guys either need to get on some boards or in a buggy. Who was flying the Apex?flyjump - 9-12-2009 at 09:35 AM
We have boards but somehow didn't end up filming us riding for some odd reason. Then again, we didn't start filming till the end of our sessionInvertedForce - 9-12-2009 at 09:46 AM

I almost ran into inverteforce the one time but that was it. Kites collided one day but that's it.f0rgiv3n - 9-12-2009 at 10:54 AM

Flexiblade,
That be me flying the 7.5 Appex2. That was such a kick a$$ time. At one time there was 5 kites in the air. After flying for 2 years solo, it was a
special time uniting with others of like mind. You will be seeing more of Flyjump, JoeBlinky and InvertedForce. Those guys have a lot of talent.flyjump - 9-12-2009 at 08:33 PM

. Looks like it was as
cold as it was last time i went out(last weekend) it was 17F!! BRR. But kiting keeps ya nice and toasty
