There wasn't enough wind for me to even make it out to the rag flappers race course but I gave it a shot !

BeamerBob - 10-4-2012 at 07:07 AM

Does anyone know where I can take a "kite monkey" training class so I can do better next time? :duh::duh::embarrased:

PHREERIDER - 10-4-2012 at 09:58 AM

oh boy, 40-50 ...what a herky, jerky ride. the V10 went up for a few minutes ...i had already had the Vii13m for about 20 min. jeff had the meter showing 42mph and after about 15min i had enough without issue other than too much power to do anything of consequence. then after sitting around for 30min watching the thick dust pour by i wanted to give goof's v10 a go... despite the small size the zippy nature makes the v10 super snatchy, at this wind unit goes full C-kite without any depower.

even though the 13m was huge power it was very stable, and eventually having to have anchor assist to land on the side. thank you jeff.

the v10 was bobbing crazy and got a few mini lofts without any input, then starts the luff and snatch at the top and jerks me as i PILOT through the RVs. i use the word pilot because i just don't have that kinda luck. in the snatch thru , rig had fallen down into the window and pops violently up already between the RVs i knew where things were going just the rate of change was a bit surprising. i stayed on my feet and butt through out the gust and had assistance for anchor and QR. thankfully all was fine.

"obstacle" concern is typically not on my list of problems, but just as i sat down and watched it falling i knew this was a true moment of focus and thread the needle in a hurricane was the drill. A choice of unbalance(hands off the bar) to pull the QR, or stay balanced and shot the gap. that was decided faster than i could have ever pull the QR.

thankful for all who watched out, helped and laughed with me afterwards.

g00fba11 - 10-4-2012 at 11:11 AM

I didn't have Phree's perspective and to me it looked like he was heading to become part of the side of BigKid's RV.....scared the crap out of me and I wasn't even the guy flying.....once everyone knew Phree was safe and all was good we enjoyed a good laugh.....

Here is a video of some blokarting and other such wind powered fun......

Stay tuned......Video is processing.......95 minutes left from 1:10PM CST

DAKITEZ - 10-4-2012 at 01:59 PM

Drewculous - 10-4-2012 at 02:36 PM

I was doing the same thing! He really is sensitive as you know. I think he is still brooding just a bit thinking I moved from Georgia just to get away from him. Let's just keep this between you and me though. :smilegrin:

g00fba11 - 11-4-2012 at 12:26 PM

@Phree.....I think you exposed yourself...:lol:......

I am back to work so more videos will be on their way but at a slower pace.....stay tuned.....

Well, Goof all I can say is for every bad thing there is a good thing, and to see you laying there one moment with your injury knowing your kiting time for this years nabx was most certainly over, the up side being you have captured the event superbly well with your camera, your videos and photos are fantastic and and I have looked through them all more than once I can tell you.

I enjoyed your sense of humour, you are right up my street in that department for sure, and I could tell that the moment I met you when you showed me your photos of my helmet in the shower etc, very funny. I hope you are continuing to heal well and your wife didnt make you sell all your gear, I know this was a major concern to start with, but she was coming around by the end of the event lol.

Fantasticlly captured Ryan, well done my friend

g00fba11 - 18-4-2012 at 06:27 PM

PTW, thanks so much. I really appreciate your comments. It was so great to meet you and be able to hit it off with some fun right off the start.

I was so happy how the shots on my little camera turned out and the iPhone video was also a pleasant surprise.

Work has me busy again, but I got a couple more vids to get uploaded....then I want to go through and do an edit with the best highlights set to some great tunes.

So keep an eye out....

g00fba11 - 26-5-2013 at 09:46 AM
