You taking out the depower?

f0rgiv3n - 29-10-2008 at 07:25 PM

Yes!! flashlights, glowsticks, the big ol' blaze II (i'm going to attach the lines tomorrow so I don't have to do it in the dark :P.) oh and of course my ace and my brother's coming... bringing his 3m legend. Should be an awesome time :roll: kiting... then breakfast, then i'm dropping him off at school and off to work i go :singing:

Now that's some crazy shiite there.

We have not had wind here in weeks ... at this point if I knew there was going to be wind at 4:30 am I would be there too.

flexiblade - 29-10-2008 at 08:08 PM

strap on you crap DAKTEZ because here comes the wind - the storm front should be starting around 11am and peak at 5pm - there may be more moisture down in the delta but there will definitely be wind.

That's the idea :tumble::thumbup:

yeaaaaaaaaa!!!:cool2: Well made it out there around 4:45... at first not a lot of wind so I pulled out my blaze II to see if I could figure out how to get it all rigged up the first time... Got it rigged but there was ABSOLUTELY no wind... my bro and i were like frick... great, we wake up for no wind?! It said there was supposed to be wind!!

So after messing around with the blaze II we decide to pull out the ace since it's low wind...t he ace excels in low winds.... we pull it out and the wind starts to pick up... LIKE WAY PICK up. I start to skud and as soon as that happens I pull out the good ol' "hey, watch this..." FAMOUS LAST WORDS!!! Just as i bring it up to 10 to go to 2 and a little jump action the wind picks up and i got lofted about 7 ft

anyways, didn't redirect very well and came down pretty quick :P all's good but we packed the ace away right after that... then the 3m legend and had some dang good sessions with that on the board.

NOTHING BETTER!!! I gotta tell you, i woke up this morning not even feeling tired!!!!!:wee:

Hey, you got your depower! And didn't have to give up your other kite either? Excellent. That thing should be awesome on snow this winter and with your board.

f0rgiv3n - 31-10-2008 at 08:19 AM

:D!!! Yeah, i am so stoked. I got rid of my beamer but was able to keep my ace. I kinda was able to work it since my bro has a 3m and I figured whenever there is a need for a 3m he'll be flying with me anyways. :P

Did you bust out the Blaze?

f0rgiv3n - 31-10-2008 at 08:43 AM

Tried to! I did at the beginnin' but there was a whole 1mph of wind... So basically I was running backwards to get the damn thing to fly even a little bit :P. We worked it for awhile and it flew for a total of maybe 30 seconds once! :P Then we packed it up and went on to the ace. I'll write up a review based on my opinion about it as soon as i get a good chance at it with some decent winds :) .
