Watching last years footage. Getting excited to hammer.


From last season.......

The jumps are Molly in light wind on the 15m Phantom 2. She would jump and just stall. :spin: Still she tried!

Think Snow!

I don't know how you survive only kite skiing. I kite for about 9 months a year (take the summer off). I go crazy just skipping it for three months. i don't know how you don't do the same kiting only on snow and ice.

What can I say B-Roc? Our season can start in October and run trough mid-May so it's not so bad. Take into account the number of sessions we get in that time frame it's a hell of a lot of kiting.

I still want to learn to ride water, don't get me wrong. But with mountain bike related fun and work in the non-kite season I haven't been able to find time to do it.

Maybe if I liked being in the water I would find more time. I really want to get on the water to get my jumping skills dialed. Jumping over boiler plate just doesn't blow my skirt up.:no:

One of these days I have to head down your way for a visit. I'd like to get a good look at the beaches down there and the scene. It's nice to see how the other half lives hehehe. I could probably snag a buggy to take down with me. I gotta give those things a shot.

Nowhere here to buggy tho. :no:

Looks like the place to be is up is Shaggs' stomping grounds! I'm heading out now to scope some locations. No wind in the forecast, not sure there's gonna be good ice but I'm bringing all my gear anyway and the 24m Phantom 2.
