Well one thing is for sure - when Dino is in the seat, you must be taking notice. Perhaps it's hard to deal with a man of integrity, skill and a sense
of humor. Why don't you put your energy into taking a few lessons in decorum from him rather than bashing the h... out of him. Even you might learn
something... |

Welcome Ronin! FYI - It's all tongue in cheek between Canada and Dakitez - really, we all do play nice together here. We're like family.......Dino's
just the poor "why's everybody always picking on me" member of the family. But he takes it like a champ. A bent over champ but a champ just the same ;

It's me vs. Canada it seems. They are all getting there little jabs in. It's ok I will get even in the desert. Ever see what happens to a Canadian in
the desert who "misplaced" their sunscreen?  |

You are right about when Dino is in the seat everybody DOES takes notice! That means the wind is not too strong, not too light, not to gusty, just
right. Time to get out there and out of his way ! :P

Hey Ronin - good to see another local added to the mix. Here's a quick list of questions to help us get better acquainted -
Where do you hail from?
How long have you been flying kites?
What kind of kites do you fly?
What is your favorite color?
That should do it for now. We locals can give you a good heads up on places to go and conditions - so stick around and throw us some questions as
well.
we all believe is called the expansion

Hey Ronin, I'm in Tracy, CA. There is a great bunch of guys around here. I've ridden with Dakitez, Screwyfits, Flexiblade, AD72, and Dagon. I
might've missed a few and there are others around that I haven't ridden with. All will help you any way they can and everyone want to make sure
everyone has fun. Hook up when you can.

Wow, now that's what I call long distance sniping! LOL
Ronin, As BeamerBob mentioned, there a number of good pilots in the area. He is out in Tracy; I'm down in Santa Clara; others are all over the place.
Most of us will be at NABX; some of us will be at the pre-event. Just let us know what your plans are and we'll make sure to include you in too.
Regards,
