return to kiting

powerzone - 16-10-2013 at 10:22 AM

well after 5 months and ~$15,000 i've been released from Physical Therapy and the docs agree that the achilles / leg are good to go!

looking foreward to getting back to kiting pretty much asap although i'll be quite rusty and apprehensive for a bit....

I had to look up what the Redcats were.....

And had to check another video to get an idea of the scale of these critters...



You're a very sick individual.....

Ah yeah, the 1/5th scale stuff is awesome. I recently got into these myself and they're very addicting (and expensive). Nice idea PHREE, I should try that with my 1/5th scale Castle conversion that does wheelies. ;)

Great news! Probably was the longest summer of your life.

powerzone - 19-10-2013 at 01:42 PM

that was the hardest time of my life.... isolation, pain, depression, anger, feeling useless, rehab, insurance wars, etc. i have new and deep compassion for those hurting and how just spending time with them is the best thing you can do to help.

thanks everyone, i'll write a little something after the first session .
