BeamerBob - 27-10-2011 at 08:25 PM
I stand a chance of making it out. 50-50 right now. I'd love to ride with you guys.
itchycrotch - 27-10-2011 at 08:32 PM
We would like to see u come out. A couple of us r already here and we'll b there till Sunday.
BeamerBob - 27-10-2011 at 08:38 PM
Tomorrow is an option and the weekend days are in play right now. I need you fast ones to show me the ropes out there.
itchycrotch - 27-10-2011 at 09:19 PM
No problem I went out there yesterday with 30 mph gusts and reached speeds of about 50 mph. Which isn't bad for a PL xr plus and a 2m ozone samurai

Is the forecast looking like we'll wind Sat and Sun?
itchycrotch - 28-10-2011 at 03:17 PM
The forecast isn't showing alot of wind but its usually more than what it's predicted to be
BeamerBob - 29-10-2011 at 02:34 PM
I went out yesterday for the afternoon till dark. Ran the 10 Syn for about 10 miles but was never well powered. Traded it in for the 12 Phanny and
was better powered with it but no speed records. Never got much above 35 mph. Put in about 30 miles though. Wind shuts down at sundown every time
I'm out there. Lol. There were a couple locals there that I had met at the Friday night fly ins. They were on their landsailers.
itchycrotch - 29-10-2011 at 08:03 PM
Yea im here now they told me u showed up sorry I missed ya
Wolfpaklv - 30-10-2011 at 08:36 AM
I will be out there tonight as soon as I get off work.
BeamerBob - 30-10-2011 at 09:01 AM
I've got some free time today as well. It's a good chance I can make it.
BeamerBob - 30-10-2011 at 08:18 PM
Awesome light wind day today. It's much more fun to have others to chase around. Some locals named Marty and Mike were there all weekend and
Itchycrotch and DonaldGould were with us today. I flew my 5.5 RII and decided not to sell it. It is so stable and yet fast. I don't feel like I
have to keep my eye on it at all. Wexler flew the 9.5 Montana VI and he was better powered than I was. I never could pull up on him unless he let
me. It was the right kite for him today and I launched the RII instead of an arc. The 12m Phanny might have been the better ticket for me today.
Jared flew the 3m HQ Toxic and he showed enough kite skills today for me to bump him to depower next outing. Wind permitting, I'll put him on one of
the Apexxes next time. Onward and upward. The learning curve continues.

Just want to thank everyone for making this weekend a lot of fun. Bob hope u show up for the next one and bring the boys they both are nice guys and
did a great job buggying and i'll make sure my son is with me for the next run.
BeamerBob - 22-12-2011 at 10:41 AM
Heading out to ride today if anyone can make it. Winds should be 15-20 with gusts to 28 out of the north.
BeamerBob - 18-1-2012 at 09:03 PM
Things are looking up for me and the boys to get to Ivanpah on Sunday the 22nd. I try to make a day of it when we go so would be there late am and
stay till dark. Little or no moon this weekend so not hopeful for night riding. Wind seems to go with the sun anyway. Anyone up for some riding?
It's more fun when you are chasing and being chased. :smug:
Wolfpaklv - 18-1-2012 at 10:10 PM
I will be there...if the winds are good was thinking of grabbing the speed buggy for some runs.
BeamerBob - 21-1-2012 at 01:00 PM
Why can't my freetime match up with PB winds? :evil: this is the forecast for
this afternoon.
Mostly sunny, with a high near 59. Windy, with a west southwest wind between 30 and 37 mph, with gusts as high as 55 mph.
itchycrotch - 21-1-2012 at 01:57 PM
I'm here now and that forecast is true
itchycrotch - 21-1-2012 at 01:59 PM
With all the construction at the solar plant across the highway its blowing alot of dust
Wolfpaklv - 21-1-2012 at 03:14 PM
I want to hear about a new personal best!
