Yes, you read that right, I'm implying that it would be difficult for him to lose to me even towing his buggy by his walk of shame line it would be difficult for Todd to lose!:wow:

Oh, I don't know, as heavy as his buggy is, and as light as mine is, I'm pretty sure I can out run him if we're towing the buggies on a walk of shame.

I honestly think I would pay to see that. :wee:

Dean taking it away from me? or Dean doing wheelies in it?

Dean doing wheelies.

Yeah Maven, I guess you're right. I was thinking if Todd were walking/towing, and you were riding/flying, Todd would win hands down. But If you were both towing, I guess you would prolly win!

I say we have a contest ..... :eureka: yeah , a contest to see who can stay on 2 wheels the longest.

O.K. but there has to be at least two 180 deg. turns!:bigok:

I'm afraid Dan would have that one locked up WG. The auto-camber on his PL folder allows endless miles of effortless 2 wheel action. Even at speeds far in excess of 40mph. Definately a sight to behold:wee:

Yeah , but what goes up has to come down . I'll be 2 wheels ALL the time.

Except when your over on your side!:o:shocked2::bouncing:;-)

Except when you fall over.

Which is every time I turn around

But man, you get there fast!

This thread delivers.

Dont have anything else really worth adding, unfortunately. It'll be fun to see who does what when the time comes... Real question is, who is going to be the first one to put their kite in the drink, and will we actually see anyone follow their kite into the drink (happened a few years back to a land-boarder, or was that last fall?).

If I had the straps to do it, i might actually try jumping my buggy, but I dont have the straps to do it safely.

You know, if the wind is blowin' out, my kite will prolly find ocean! But then it's likely only to be a rag on a string!:bird:

I'll join you for a little buggy jumping. Only with a nice consistant wind though as I don't bounce well anymore. I have an extra hotwire if you need it also. Can't wait to get back to WW.:wee::wee:

My prediction says Maven, like a moth to a light.

I may (not really sure) have been the first one to put my kite in the water that day, but I wasn't anywhere close to the last. In fact, I seem to recall a certain elongated air mattress hitting the water as well.

You're correct; it was Greg "Mr. X" flying my Venom. Personally if I were the kite I wouldn't want him flying me either:evil:

I'm pretty sure you managed to put one in the water too. Nice try on shifting all the blame though.

who me?

At least those things are water relaunchable. The rest of us have to drag our "anchor" out and dry it off

I actually got my 4m Flow to relaunch the first time, it was the second occasion that it turned into a sea anchor :wee:.

Mike ,i'll bring ya some straps. And I put a kite in the drink last fall. Might happen again....:shocked2:

Ditto on the swimming kite. My Bullet ended up in the drink for a quick second. Trailing edge down thankfully. Was able to launch it pretty quick!

But I can definitely let the odds go with Maven putting his in first. I would rather keep mine dry!

Hehe. I recall seeing quite a few kites in the drink, though I couldnt say how many. Fortunately, we didnt have anyone get dragged into the water by their kite. That did happen one year though, and it was HILARIOUS. I'm sure someone still has pictures of that particular individual heading out into the water....

I remember Jake taking down a kite in the water and then having to be rescued by Brian's ex (can't recall the name)

Who got dragged in :puzzled:

Don't recall if this was the fall bash last year, or the year before that (might have been two years back), but there was a certain individual flying a 5m Beamer III on handles while trying to landboard. His stance was not very good, and he eventually went over on his stomach. Kite powered up and dragged him straight into the water... he kept flying the kite, but eventually crashed it leading edge down into the water right before he went in... head first.

As I recall, he was fine, just soaked from head to toe. Kite was fine too, though a wee bit wet...
