still perky! HAHAHAHA

im 26...
27 in august

been bald since i was 18!

started kiting when I finished Uni in 82, so time for some ciphering and guzinta's ..... (Jethro Bodine ref) .... carry the 2 and guzinta 8 four times...
that put's me right in there with Angus my brother! (but my birthday is still later in the year).

Looks like I'm older than everyone else here (so far). Fortunately, I'm younger than most of the guys I kite with, so there's hope for my future.

17! Do I get a prize?

Adam looks like he's 16 and sounds like he's 14. :D

56... and I just caught this affliction five wks ago.. Previous medical history...Cut the end of my left thumb off 1975, (the skill saw did it) little trouble with the left brakes but I'll figure it out...1986 dislocated right shoulder/broken colar bone(Construction superintendent and I didn't agree, he was bigger)...2001 Compression fractures of two vertebra in lower back (18 ft is not enough time to think about anything ...but "This is gonna hurt" ). 2005 Two plates and 4 screws in right hand (Power roto rooter..I'm a carpenter not a plumber) March 25th 2010 heart attack w bypass surgery,six blockages, fully recovered. Last Monday PL 5.3 Viper, hot launch, several stupid newbie mistakes and 2 fractures in right heel. I ain't giving up. I've had several hobbies in my life time but this one is be far the most addictive. For the newbies out there, read as much as you can, adhear to the safety advice from the people on this forum, Try to find flyers in your local area to fly with and above all RESPECT THE WIND. I was lucky.

40

35 in December...

39 in two weeks

52

A pattern I see devolping around here is that the older riders tend to stick with it year after year. The young folks join in , make us look bad and then get distracted. Girl fever , other sports , lack of locations, or a lack of anybody riding at the next level to push them ?

The water crew are different. They started as an older bunch but I am sure the average age is way down now.

47 in Sept.

Nah, I've been doing this for two years now Don't plan on giving it up.

Lets see, I can't remember for sure, but 60 sounds a bit closer than 59. :puzzled:
I know of a couple of older than dirt's, have to wait and see if they remember. :D

16

Chronologically, 49.... might have to convert that to dog years due to lack of sleep.

Other than that, the number fluctuates wildly depending on mood and what the wee furry ones (both official and unofficial ones) are doing to my blood pressure.

ATB,
Sam

"Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to slide in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "Holy #@%$#!, what a ride!"

Here, here.

And when Seanny says Adam sounds like a 14yr old he means a 14yr old girl I think.

New here and getting first trainer this weekend.

Age? 47 on June 11. Trying to undo years of sitting, reading and eating makes me feel older.

67. Traction since 1991 and buggies since 1993.

Been kiting like almost 15 years!

Not my fault my old man didn't fly traction kites, I grew up on 2 line trick kites...

All Power now, and I don't plan on stopping!

how do I calculate my average age?

27 average between how old I act and how old I feel sometimes

According to the calendar, I'm Fifty... According to my bones, I'm well over Sixty Five (I'll spare you the med history as it gets pretty sordid and stupid)... Every time I hook in, I'm 10 years old, jumpin' my bike off a 25 foot cliff into the Black River for the first time all over again.

There is a T.V. commercial here. The Lady says I am 65 and feel better than I did at 35 .
Every time I see it I think, you must have been in awful shape at 35 Lady !

My mind often tells me I am still a kid but my body constantly keeps me honest !

Turnin the big 50 in November.....help....Ive fallen and I can't get up...lol

A young 33.... Yyyeeecch - makes me ill even typing it.

Gonna learn how to ride a motorcycle next - that is my next adventure while I wait for the beaches to close in Sept. Add in some ice hockey too and Anderson has no chnace of keeping up!

only as young as you feel baby and right now I feel like a 22 year old and my body feel like it's ready to get my AARP card in the mail...

46 in August. But the big ? is how many of you are grandparents and how many grandkids?
5 of them for us. 3 girls,2 boys And what a blast it is.

I am 15 but still starting out.

67 Kite Buggy and Landsailing for 5 years and Loving It.. Lifes a Beach.:singing:

I'm 4 years older than god!

been at it for 15 years now

59 last week. I would likely have more fun if the old man in my head stopped talking back to me saying "don't throw caution to the wind stupid"
