Guy does it again. Takes week 3 while breaking the 70 mph mark.

He say's there's no wind up there this week and he had to go back to work so maybe someone else can break his winning streak?:D

Thanks to everyone who participated this week. People are starting to get winter conditions and the ranking this year is slowly growing. We have several entries for week 4 already. Deadline for week 4 is Jan 29th.

I read the rules again. You just need to be on ice or snow and kite powered? In other words a ice or snow buggy could enter? And could the buggy use either blades, skis, or studded tires? I'm more just throwing ideas out for others to muddy the waters of the ranking a little bit. :D

Kite powered is the key. Although we'd have to add a few fields for things other than skis and boards I don't see a problem with it.

Anyone have suggestions for personal gps devices? Waterproof preferably. I was considering getting one last summer for the ocean, but might as well ask since someone here might have a good idea. Hopefully under $100. Whatever the modern technology is - better than 1hz updates would be nice but I don't know if that's common or not (phones do 1hz).
