I just wanted to give a special thanks to those of you who helped me out. Nocando! thanks for all the laughs and the ride from the airport. (this aussie will make you pee your pants from all the laughter)
Angus, it was funny how we randomly met at McDonalds lol, thanks for hooking me up with replacement parts this winter

All of you crazy A$$ canadians! Mark, Ziggy, Ken3, and bladerunner you guys were so much fun, and very encouraging.

Fly, your enthusiasm is like a drug. Always a smile on your face and nothing but positive words from you. You were one of many bright spots of this years new faces for me. Keep up what you're doing and don't stop till you're at the top!

Adam
Good to see you out there with that infectious enthusiasm. Looking forward to seeing you again. I really have to meet the woman that would let that be her honeymoon!

Bring the blue kite; maybe they won't notice.

Thanks also to Bigkid kites and Kent at the windofchange for being so friendly to us. You made us feel like locals

Hey, if your on the playa, you ARE a local! :) Glad to meet you and my only complaint was not being able to spend even more time riding with you. I am really happy that you had such a great time.

Your welcome, need more sleep.........

Adam ,

You were without a doubt the nicest person I have met in a while. You remind me a whole lot of myself at your age . 27 but you look 17. The balance of both in your youthful approach. That infectious spirit and smile ! :cool2:

What an amazing school teacher you must be!

I think you are poised to take those teaching skills and spirit to push this sport to new levels here in North America .

I met many amazing new people this year but am most pleased to have met you. 1 more reason to try and hit WW !

flyjump - 5-4-2011 at 05:57 PM

Bladerunner, COME TO WILDWOOD! that'd be so rad if you came and rode with us. i've been telling all of my buddies how awesome you are

ripsessionkites - 5-4-2011 at 06:31 PM

keep up the good work and show everyone in the USA, why you're the best.

flyjump - 5-4-2011 at 06:33 PM
