Blasting in from the past - to say hello!

Waz'up guys?! Long time, no post for me!

I was clearing out my storage locker the other day for an upcoming move when I came across, yes, KITES! So, that got me thinking... I dusted off the ol'bookmarks on my computer, clicked on PKF and lookee, the site is still up and running!

So, how's everyone doing? What's new in the world of kitebuggying? What have I missed in the past years when I have been pushing an outrigger paddle rather than pulling a power kite line?

And, so, who's still flying at Gary Point these daze? Bladerunner, Dirtslide...?

Anyways, just wanting to say hello to all who are still zooming around on their three wheelers while harnessed to big billowing ripstop engines.

D'sliddy, Dixie and I just returned from IBX. Nobody else went from here.

Things cooled down a bit at GP. Richmond council figured we need to register with them and have 5 million insurance. It seems that when they discovered how few of us there were it became too expensive to police us? They left us alone last year and we have big hopes for a good summer back in the park.

Miss you like crazy! Think about you a lot. Naturally just was while on Ivanpah. We still have the same # 444 4646 . Give a call and we will have tea or something ! Lots to catch up on.

Cool, BR, good to know there's still some regulars flying at GP. On the rare occasion that I swung by the park I didn't see any buggies on the field so kind of wondered where the action was.

We're moving out of the West End in a couple of weeks (you probably can't guess where to). A developer bought our entire condo building...tower is going to go up in the spot. I look forward to hooking up for a yak once we get settled into our new digs.
