Wind is like a drug: many people are addicted to it, too much of it and you could end up dead or in the hospital, too little of it and you\'ll go
crazy, and just the right amount makes for a good time.

ive had to explain the story soo many times and after i explain most people still dont understand it
the brace helps alot it hurts to lift some things im not sure how long it will be before im riding again i hope i try and make an npw

CJ, take it easy dude. I know how you feel . I also suffered a compression injury to my back. MRI showed herniated discs at T7-T8 OR T8-T9 ,I can't
remember now. But it haunts me every now and then. My advice to you is NO JUMPING or anything that will seriously compress your spine ,for a good long
while. My injury occured dirtbiking when I was 13 and I got better ,but at 36 YRS OLD it came back.I'm better now, but ya never know. That is why I
just freeride and keep the aerial stuff to a minimum(1-2ft at most). But I still find tearin up the beach alot of fun,and I love speed.
Peace out little man! D
CJ I know you don't really want to hear this, but glad you are back to school. Not bad for a guy who has a pretty bad back injury! You have a lot of
courage little man! Like Donnie says, lay back and heal well! Wildwood will be here before you know it! Time to invite some of your friends over and
show them some videos of what you do, that may help them to understand. Anytime someone gives me that "what the heck are you talking about" look, I
then ask if they have a computer that I can use for a minute!
Continue with Doc's orders, it will help you heal faster! Keep your head up and you will be good! You have some good people from the forum behind you!
The beach isn't going anywhere!
I used to carry a picture in my wallet of a kiteboarder and whipped it out to help answer the question. It may be worth carrying one for a while to
help explain?
thanks guys im probably going to have to get some picture to carry or videos also thanks you to everyone who sent me stickers my brace is covered in
them =] sorry i haven't been on lately ive had a ton of school work to catch up on
and my status as of now is pretty good i am use to the brace i dont have any pain i will be going to the doctor dec 22 for xrays and checkup they
willl tell me how much longer i have to wear it and if i can go back to flying and snowboarding and all the fun things i liked to do
i wanted to say a personal thanks to all the guys at East coast kite Sports you guys are great thanks for the card and stickers

Welcome Back! Lil' Bro':bigok: I was wonderin if the "rents" made you stop kiting and get off the forum or somethin.
Glad you are gettin better, but just because ya feel better does not mean you are "hardened". That will take time and probably PT. But you will be

The kites WILL lift you and you WILL love it ... get down to a beach with soft sand on a low wind day with a big depower and learn to jump properly
... that way, when it happens on a board you'll relax and LOVE it!
That's how it worked for me ... after dicking around on the beaches, started doing little load'n'pops then took the 16m out on an overpowered day ...
my first load'n'pop set me soaring up, up, up - thought I wasn't coming down
but rather than freaking out, I relaxed and worked the bar a little and landed and rode off - much to my surprise. I been hooked every since :D
Get a Charger, Synergy, or VII! Safest depowers, EVER! Plus much more durable
than a tube. If you smack a tube kite and pop the LE, and it's the only one you own, you could be grounded for a while.
HAHAHA!!! you are wearing atb shirts to school when you get back??? man you sound so awesome!
sorry to hear about you accident. i used to have a 5m pansch ace. that thing was soooo crazy! i have a video up on youtube with mine. that thing
yanked me around like a ragdoll. the camera man sucked but the last jump of the day i went up like 20f the kite overflew me so i yanked it to the
right and came down at a weird angle. tried to roll but didn't hit at the angle i wanted and twisted my ankle and you can watch my head bounce off the
ground.
the camera man sucked, he didn't understand there was a zoom and on my big jump he literally ran track style w the camera on so i had to slow-mo and
peice the parts where you could see me together... i was so pissed. lol
here is my video w the widow maker. (don't remember how to put the video in here so here's the link)
yeah im gonna retire it..... maybe ill try it out on light wind days at the beach but i think im gonna go depower im scared to fly anything else
right now
and i ve seen that video before!! nice choice of music
also what size depower would i want to start lookign at for my first one with a big wind range and do deopower kites mind lumpy ?

dude, i live in the middle of north america about as far from ocean as it gets and i pretty much have switched to peter lynn twin skins because they
are pretty much the only kites i trust not to fall out of the sky in these gusts.
in my quiver i have a 10m bomba, and 13m venom2 and a 16m scorpion.
i think you should be set with the 10m venom even in higher winds (up to about 30mph).
the twin skins are GREAT gust absorbers. let us know how going back to school goes.

That would be a killer christmas present! I think that kite would be a pretty good fit for you. Just get pretty comfortable with it before you start
jumping!
my dad is for it my moms says " you have enough kites allready" but a twinskin is safe also
i need a new spreader bar which is the best for the money?
and hopefully if i get it i can learn at wwbb spring
