In the News


Quincy Kite festival made the news.

Got to love how the florescent yellow Flexboardz shirt reflected off my neck. Had a great time with great people at a sweet place to ride. Now to edit the 6 hours of video I shot.

I read that caption as
World famous
Gabriel Sims of Pasco ...
I need my eyes check :lol:

Good one dude! Man, kite festivals here (in the town I am now in is famous for them) consist of a bunch of half-undressed drunken old men pulling a gigantic square thing into the sky, shouting a lot, pushing and shoving, and drinking more beer.

I've toyed with the idea of taking a Rev down next to them and doing little loops and things ;)



Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...
