Wunderground.com forecasts tomorrow as being sunny, low 60s, 15-20mph gusting 30. Can't ask for much more.

Just a quick sample....... who is that masked man????

Not ME! I usually have helmet face Have fun tomorrow guys and go get some wind!

That was unbelievable! The video sure doesn't do that jump justice, seeing it in person was truly inspirational. Adam is an amazing kiteboarder and one of the nicest guys I've had the pleasure of meeting. In fact all the guys out here are. Hope the weather lets us fly tomorrow!

It was a fun day, it was awesome seeing everybody and all those kites in that small field. I wish the forecasf for saturday was better. My knees and ankles are sore now

Nice Adam :wee:

glad you had breeze! Way to put it out there Adam! very nice

Great stuff Adam! I know you have been higher, but at least you were boosting big!

Got home late last night..... had an awesome time meeting and flying with everyone...... we got rained out at 3PM CST on Saturday with the rain sticking around through Sunday..... I look forward to getting together with everyone again......

Here is a short slide show to wet your whistle while I work on getting through the video and do some edits.....

If you thought about coming to this event and didn't, go ahead and kick yourself. You deserve it. :singing:

Excellent time. Weather was amazing - 60 degrees, 15-23 mph winds. Great company. Excellent spot. And Adam was a perfect host.

The entertainment was superb... flyjump's amazing jumps, of course, everyone's attempts to mimic them and plenty of unintended aerials by Sean. :thumb up:

Thanks for the video and slide show, g00f. Nice work.

When is the next Midwest Kite Jam, boys?

Here is a rough draft compilation video from Flyjump's Kite Jam...... need help with some recommendations for some tunes to add to it.... any other suggestions for captions would also be appreciated........ comments welcome as well......




Looks like I forgot some captions.... like when midgaar got in the Ivanpah.....

Haha, very nice. My bad on the poor camera work while you were on the buggy, was my first time.

Looks like you all had fun! to Chips for bravery, 1st time on a landboard, big kite!(I hope no goalposts were injured!you either!)

When do we get the 2:43 edit? I really enjoyed that one, the music fits and the fat that was trimmed wasn't really missed.

OK..... by request..... the short version with the tunes...... Pink Floyd..... "Learning to Fly"

@bobalooie57

Chips had a lot of firsts on the field for this trip...... first time on ATB...... first time on Coyotes...... first time jumping an arc......

He is so stoked......

That's good stuff gOOf, sweet video. Can you please name everyone from left to right on that picture including PKF name? Thanks.

Opening picture: Eric (Goofba11's son), Todd's brother (name slipping my mind), Todd (thanson2001ok), Adam (flyjump), Sean (non pkf memeber), Ryan (g00fba11).

Ending picture: Same except I'm on the right, Justin (midgaar).

Thank you! Always good to put names with faces.

I wish jordan woildve been in the picture too. Great vid goof:bigok:

Hmmm.... I can try......

There are 2 group photo's one at the beginning and one at the end. In one Justin aka midgaar is not present because he is taking the picture in the other it is Ryan aka g00fba11 that is behind the camera taking the picture...... so now you can figure out who I am and who Justin/Midgaar is.....

A couple of the guys I don't think are on PKF yet.....

from left to right..... Eric aka chips, Kerry, Todd aka thanson2001ok, Sean, Adam aka flyjump, Justin aka Midgaar.......

find the pick that Justin/Midgaar is missing from and I am one of the 2 guys with bunny ears.......
