Today I woke up to a big break in the -30 weather and a beautiful wind forecast. Got up and packed right away! Wind meter read 18-27km/h when I setup
my 12m. I had a flustered start, but five minutes later it was perfect. Nice decent runs up and down the field for almost an hour. My legs were really
burning, but I wanted to get some jumps in. Took a ten minute sit down and went out again. First jump was a nice 5 footer to get me feeling it. After
that I made several jumps ranging from 5-10 feet. My last jumps were the biggest and most controlled I've ever felt in the air. Ended up being a good
two hour session. A few hours later my whole body is starting to ache, sign of a great workout. I managed to remember the go pro this time, so
hopefully some turned out good. I'm sure glad that there is still loads of winter ahead of us. Bladerunner - 15-12-2013 at 07:42 PM

Nice start to your winter riding! I concur, it's not much fun when the air is so cold it hurts to breath. Glad your temps have warmed up a bit PHREERIDER - 15-12-2013 at 08:14 PM

Cool, great to get a break in that damn cold eh! Sounds like you avoided the nukin' winds we had today in the south. 90-110kph sustained all day, well
blow me down!
I chose fishing instead of kiting today and it took 5 ice screws to keep my shack from becoming a kite. Glad you got good wind!shaggs2riches - 15-12-2013 at 09:52 PM
Yes I had a great morning that's for sure. This afternoon it was gusting to 60km till around 7 then it tapered off. I gotta invest in a couple more
gopro cameras, cuz the video I got was really really dull other than my few jumps and bails. Feyd - 16-12-2013 at 06:44 AM
Hard to capture the experience and feeling on cam sometimes. Nothing bums me out like pulling something off or have a spectacular crash, getting it
on camera and then reviewing the footage and it looks like nothing's even happening.
Then sometimes the most mundane stuff looks awesome. :D
Glad you got out and had a killer first session! canuck - 16-12-2013 at 09:31 AM
Glad to hear you had a great day shaggs
We will all have to get together again soon!pongnut - 16-12-2013 at 10:19 AM
... the video I got was really really dull other than my few jumps and bails.
I know we all like to show off our "cool" stuff, but honestly, I love watching bails just as much!
My wife and I also got our first taste of the snow Sunday afternoon. Wind and temp were both 10 (mph and Fahrenheit), and though I spent the whole
time helping her re-learn depower and snowboard, it was still great to get out again.
