I love flying with Dirtslide; his exuberance is infectious.

Was that in a reg-buggy or his Chairbug? Great video either way. Glad to see him getting some.Scudley - 15-5-2012 at 06:22 AM
That was his Flexifoil Scout. Dirtslide does not really have a chairbug?. He occasionally kites in his chair, but that is just Dirtslide doing what
he does best*. When kiting in the chair he uses a device called a freewheel that attaches to the footplate. It lifts the chair of the front casters
and prevents the chair from tipping forward.
Whatever he is riding, flying with Dirtslide is a blast, even in shifty lumpy GP NW wind.

When I 1st met D'sliddy Steve Erwin was still alive. I swore I had just met the Canadian Steve Erwin and this guy is nuts about this sport ! His
passion and natural ability was hard not to absorb.
Without a doubt one of the finest people I have met in this sport and I am pleased to call Him Ken#1 bobalooie57 - 15-5-2012 at 07:25 AM
@scudley, I just looked at your 3 by 3m south video, I don't remember you posting it here, but that sure looked like a fun day!Scudley - 15-5-2012 at 07:38 AM
It was an awesome day. The ony thing that could have made it better if Dusty had been out. She loves to fly with Edward and Dirtslide.
South is the best wind at GP. It happens rarely, but when it is on it's epic.

That's the chairbug I was refering to. I didn't know what it was called. Glad to see video of him having a blast.WELDNGOD - 15-5-2012 at 02:49 PM
Little FBs rock !:wee: Good to see Ken doin well. He has a
terminal case of "Kiteritis" for sure.
