Waiting....


Traversed = 899 KM
Miles To Go = 498KM

Patiently watching the progress of an inbound kite on Google Maps is not a good sign.

This seems oddly appropriate....



ATB,

Ozone Flow 2M (eBay). Have wanted one for a bit, because I like how the 3M flies.... a lot. Couldn't justify due to overlap, but 1 hour before auction end there were no other bids and the asking price was too tempting.... especially RTF and with probably less than 4 hours of flight time on it.

ATB,
Sam

I love the 2m Flow. It was actually my most used kite at this Wildwood. I was buggying with it both Thursday and Friday.

Easier to track via Canada Post.

Hit the US a couple of days ago. I expect the folks at US Customs will get a few flights in before sending it along my way.

USPS won't let me track again until it's on my desk. "Track and Confirm" has always been more "Confirm" and less "Track." ;)

ATB,
Sam

Last weekend, ordered Sat. :1 Full face Helmet from Jensen USA, arr. Friday. 1 Helmet skinz from motovation racing, not here yet. Ordered Sunday : Tachyon XC Micro helmet cam, arrived Wednesday! Still waiting for the helmet skinz, oh well, I figured a bubblepack envelope would get here fastest.

Flew my 2m flow yesterday in some gusty crap ranging from 8 to 20 mph... What a great kite! It's a zippy little bugger too.

Enjoy indigo!



No kites left :(
Maybe someday I'll snowkite again

Well, I lied, the helmet skinz was in this morning's mail, and it came in a small flat rate box, not a bubble pack. So here's a pic. This is the helmet as it comes, with the camera mount attached.

Oh my.... I don't think I belong to any "normal" forums... at all, at all. :lol:

Here's a good helmet story: A million years ago, I ordered a full face helmet. Waited and waited and when it finally arrived, I wanted to try it on, but felt self-conscious because I was at work. So I had to wait until folks cleared out. I was working late and so were others, so it wasn't until much later that I finally got to try on the helmet. Just then, I heard a noise a the door, and popped up from the cubicle. I forgort I was wearing the helmet.

Upon hearing me stand up the security guard turned around. I am pretty sure he wasn't expecting anyone in the office. I am also pretty sure he wasn't expecting anyone in a black full-face helmet and dark face shield. Pretty sured I scared the bejeebers out of him (I seem to have a track record with security guards). Attached is a picture of the ad for the helmet.

ATB,
Sam
