Ha Ha,

When I told you you needed a blade and I ... not so much it was because I could see that one of your main draws to the sport was the big air. :cool: I was drawn in more by the extended airtime on the water.
As things morphed I saw I would be master of no single skill and that I will get greatest enjoyment by being able to ride all fashions safely and at a level that I could ride with anyone and not be a drag. Most of my valuable air time is spent working on " the ride " . Most recently ATB.

I've been using the 9m Blade more as a low wind engine than parasail. It turns a little slow and my jumping technique is not great so I havn't really been able to see it's potential.

The last time I had 10 + ft of air it was because I hooked a brake line on a tree. I got yanked up and back landing about 6 ft up the tree :tumble: Wouldn't you know it was just as the group was showing up for the free intro our local shop offers :frog:

I dont have to many pics. Mostly videos. My little camera sucks and so does my computer. So it is hard to send or download anything it takes about an hour to send a 5-7megabyte anything. But I will see what I can do. Thanks again I love the pics. I finally got on the net.:borg:
