The first year I did and I got a Gopro. This year I have not bothered with the gopro but I should start logging again. Here is a site one of the SF locals put up.

Ticked no, but have been using mapmyride to see how fast and far I travel.

Odd that my top speed was with the small kite and wheels, or maybe not. It was pretty windy that day.

The app also has an elevation change measure, but I don't think it would tell me how high I jumped easily.

NO log just the memories and a lot of really boring gopro footage of me looking in the direction I'm traveling.:lol: Seriously enough it would be nice to have a detailed log, but the past year I've had maybe 10 half decent sessions. Unless I magically get to the lake more than 5 times this year and/or we have a really good snowfall, I don't think I will have anything to log. Starting to wonder if I could find proper employment in a location where I can have better access to terrain for my hobbies. Even biking gets boring in the flat lands.

Yes. And it's Sand Yeti's fault. I remember reading a post of his and he said he'd done 10,000 km's in his buggy at some point. How the heck do you do 10 000km in a glorified billy cart pulled by a kite? So, I thought I'd find out and started to log all my sessions. Date, where, what kite, how far and how fast. I want to do 10,000km because it seems so ludicrously far given the mode of transport. And surprise surprise, it adds up pretty quick. And even more surprising to me, I'm just as dead set keen to buggy as I was three years ago.... always thinking of the next session or waiting for the next summer to roll around. Pretty sure the Vmax is up to the task - I'm nearly half way there and the buggy is still in really good nic.

on here kinda , has data links so time, conditions and modality are included.

may represent about 1/3-1/2 of actual, but gaps are present. usually may only enter events of merit of a series. say for example we have 5days of good wind i may only post ONE day of the series. and rarely post land sessions in past

Yes, but not as diligently as I have in the past. I always mark my mileage, conditions and top speed for a session. Make notes of ice conditions as well and compare dates to previous seasons.

Some days tho I just ride. I don't bring the helmet cam, don't turn on the goggles or carry any GPS units, I just ride for the sake of riding. This last season I was especially prone to slacking becuase it was such a short season I just wanted to ride.

lost count!

I have been putting notes about days on the water in my google calender. I have not been logging land boarding days cause some are just 1/2 hr sessions after work. Maybe I will start writing them all down.

carltb - 10-7-2012 at 08:47 AM

i think mine is more of a video log.
when im too old to partisipate anymore i will be able to look back at some of the foolish things i used to get up to.
