summer time no wind blues

pyro22487 - 12-7-2011 at 05:03 PM

So I live in oklahoma and if you dont know we have been in a heat advisory for almost a month now and they started rationing water in nearby citys. Its not a supply ration its a pressure ration. meaning you can still water your yard but only on certain days. odds evens is what they are saying. Anyways i have been wanting to go out but in OK if its hot out there is now wind thus the reason for the summer time high heat no wind blues.

Ok so I'm almost to this point lol. I am thinking saturday about heading to the old target parking lot and trying to buggy there. They shut it down about 3 years ago. I can go till the cops tell me to leave as far as I know as long as I'm not causing a problem I don't see what they can say. I plan on going after work so its nice and coolish. I get off at 10pm on Saturday so it could be fun.

Parking lots are fun... Ive hooked my handles to my twister bridals and tore up a local abandoned wallmart on the atb!

That bungee idea is awesome..... check it out in the snow....

That is a sick video with a great soundtrack.

I have visions of a variant of the "tethered kite" scenario: you are standing there watching your kite fly away at the end of that bungee cord until you overcome your static friction and you are off/ launched like a water balloon from a medical tubing slingshot :shocked2::wee:.
Take video,we'll send flowers LOL

pyro22487 - 13-7-2011 at 08:02 PM

you guys are nuts ill stick with my buggying. we had two abandoned buildings but alas the walmart place was torn down for a new walmart. go figure.

pyro22487 - 14-7-2011 at 12:04 PM

So just found out some needed to know info about the parking lot. There is a helipad in it now for a medical center. So nice find by rtz on this site. That would have been embarrassing to find out as one was landing.
