Just got home and what a day it was! I have a metric ton of footage to weed through, some high lites where the Libre Radical that had BIG raves. Maven apparently demonstrated the proper way how to fall, hit his head and then do a power skid on his back 50 or so feet.

Ragden was tearing up the field laying down some solid mileage and speed. Others that showed where DToast, Frathouse along with Lad had a blast riding the Bowl. Lastly Power... wow. Surprisingly very quiet when face to face This kid can ride and will definitely be the one to watch in the future.

AND THEN THERE WAS _ _ _ _ _ _ ! He has Hooj ARC flying skillz and was of great assistance helping everyone throughout the day. Good to see ya man!

Did I cover everything? It was a great day of riding and the conversation at Denys was too funny.

It was definitely cold, but a surprisingly good turn out!
That Radical is sweet - hey, maybe after it gets passed around enough, I can get nice demo price on it!
"Power" seemed about the size and weight of the left thigh of some of the other guys there - but he could hold those big sails down and had some pretty impressive boarding skills.
The park didn't have the public restrooms mentioned on the directory. So I wound up driving into the Inner Harbor to find a public one! :embarrased: I guess I'll have to wait to make the drive to Denny's next time.

Great to hear the boys had a turn on the Radical. You gonna send it up here with them? It would be good to have the Radical here for the Tug Hill event to show off! Can't wait for the video of today!edit: just read your u2u Todd, Thanks man, Radical is in good hands! Can't wait!

Yeah have to agree that the Libre Radical was massively fun to fly. I can't wait to see some of the footage. Next week Tugg Hill! No more cherry sodas for me definitely popped that:o. I just wish I didn't have to go to Atlanta tomorrow I would love another session at the bowl this weekend.

Bobalooie57, the Radical is in ragden's car, ready to be brought to you next weekend. As for my adventures in kiting today, all I can say is "Hurray for helmets!".

:bouncing::Ange09:

Great fun today. Was nice to see everyone that made it out. Thanks for coming and making this a fun little "mini-event". I can only hope that we can pull a few more sessions like this. My gps showed a total of 20.4 miles covered with a top speed of 28.7 mph. Not too shabby, if I do say so myself.

Was thinking about heading back there tomorrow morning, but I'm not sure my body can take another run like that... Who knows...
Thanks again.. .cant wait to see the footage...

it is still a little surreal seeing big kites bobbing around in a dense urban setting!
The speeds would have been much more if there was a bigger field.
There is little that FS Outlaw of yours is not capable of! :karate:
</kite-envy off/>

Best day kiting ever. I LOVE CLEAN WIND! ... as if you guys haven't heard that enough so far today Thanks for the comments Todd- can't wait to get out riding again with you guys I had such a blast. Its really nice to see so many guys local that are into the sport.

@Todd- Can't wait till you get that footage together, post it up when its ready!

F*%k! Can't believe my parents wouldn't let me go. Sounds like I seriously missed out. Glad you guys had fun, and power finally got some clean winds to enjoy. I'll see you guys next time, regardless (sorry mom and dad :singing::wee::P)

Went back this morning. Someone left a kite stake. I have it with my stuff. Please let me know if you are missing one so I can get it back to you.
Fun little bit this morning.
Distance: 14.7 miles
Elapsed Time: 1:42:16
Avg Speed: 8.6 mph
Max Speed: 28.3 mph

Not the best, but definitely fun.

Another great day today, wind was a bit lacking, but still fun. Good thing ragden was there when I crashed the nemi into a patch of trees:wee:

Had a great weekend thanks all :bigok: It was nice having clean wind for once and not having the usual inland kite problems. Mentally I wanted to go back Sunday, but my body was saying no. Was your kite ok after being in the trees Power. Thanks Todd for all the video shooting, and he that must not be named, it was a pleasure. Can't wait to do it again.

Kite's fine, lines went over the trees but the kite landed in the grass. I lucked out on that one.

Radio tower field tomorrow with power. Be there. Or else...:evil:

I really missed those terrible gusty shifty lully winds over the weekend

:o Wow. I killed my Sony Vegas 9.0


Video is done but when I go to render it I get the big F U and it completely shuts down the program. I have no clue on this one. Off to google to search.

It might be too big

You mean in a program like Windows Movie Maker? Those programs should be able to handle big long movies. I don't know much about computers so other feel free to chime in, please, but make sure you have enough memory and RAM to operate that program at the same time. With my old POS computer I had to close other programs to run new ones or else it'd freak out or freeze. Try closing all your programs except the one you're using and then finish it.

The computer has enough to handle it without a doubt and I do close ALL programs. I simply walk away from it and do other things while it does it's thing. No go. It spits me out of the program within the first 30 seconds of the render.

I got my tracking number for my Neo 2. Should be in wednesday. Can't wait to get up to tugg hill this weekend!!!!:singing:

Can't wait for you to tell me what you think of it

@Todd-I'm not so good with video editing and uploading yet, but maybe try uploading to youtube? That's what I did for the depower static jump and it worked fine. Depending on how long of a video it is it'll take a while uploading on youtube but it usually works. I'm really dying to see that footage. Hope you can work out the upload issue soon!

He's not trying to upload it, he's still working on completing making the movie.

Maven, can you go to the field today?

Nope. Working extra hours so that I can go to Tug Hill. Sorry.

Maven hit it; I'm in the rendering process of the movie not uploading. I tried something last night and got to 92% complete before it shut down (almost threw the mouse on that one) trying again today.

YouTube? Never will I ever load a video to that site again, sorry. Vimeo is the way to go!

So, U guys are at Antenna Field 2day? Where is the best place to enter, park, access it?

UPDATE: Might make it there by 2pm!

Enter from the north end slightly off to the right.
