First 360s today!
I managed to successfully do my first 360s in my buggy today, with my 2m kite in 25mph winds... wow what a rush!
I've tried before but wasn't sure what I was doing, but got it cracked today. Had a few spills, getting pulled out sideways, dragged on my back etc,
but once I got it sussed it was an awesome feeling to complete the spin and roll away in the same direction!

I was at the school field on Mace/Covell. I heard my phone go but didn't check the messages (my phone's crappy - I have to go to a website to check my
text messages - they don't appear instantly on the screen).
Hope Doug's ok?
I haven't been over to the sod farms for a couple of weeks - are there any grass fields left - when I checked a while back everything was pulled up,
apart from some new grass closest to the road that they were still irrigating (which looked like it would be ready soon though)

Yeah the one we were at was the field on the eats side of Mace bldv. by the factory and farm equipment..the grass there is very hard and not so good
as far as grass is concerned, kinda brownish and short, but its a great field ...but the watering system was a bit too close together for the wind
speed...
I hot launched while sitting on my butt and took off really fast and was about an inch off the ground for close to twenty feet....
