12/13MPH winds not enough for your 15Speed3?

I'm thinking my V-II or my method should work fine!

I can be up for either!

A moments notice for the Bowl

a bit more time for WW!

Last minute plans... Sorry guys, won't be able to make it this weekend!

I can ride with my S3 in 5-8mph winds. If its steady. However, The Bowl is a tight spot, and flying a kite that big presents its own... complications. Suffice to say, I am not wild about rolling out a kite that big at that spot. Plus traffic can be pretty killer trying to get up there from where I am at. Not sure it would be worth the trek if the winds are not going to be over 11mph.

I'll take another look at it tomorrow and see if it is worth the trip...

Eating breakfast, then going to pack up and head out to The Bowl for a little bit. I don't expect to ride for too long... maybe an hour or two... Will just be nice to put a kite up for a little bit.

See you there!

Sorry, my "month quota" has been filled already. Please try again next month...

If the conditions line up, I'll be out flying (barring other engagements). Will be watching the forecast.

hey lad where do you fly

Anywhere! I met some flyers down at the electric Tower fields around the DC Beltway...forget just where that was. "The Bowl" in Baltimore. Nothing beats Wildwood, tho...

are you going to Wildwood this month? i dont have a mode of transportation so i would need a ride to anywhere we fly
id like to go somewhere i can play around on my kite land board.

Maybe a bunch of us can get a group up, as discussed earlier.
I don't have a lot of room in my little car loaded with my buggy and gear. :sniff:

where are you located

In MD, NE of Baltimore...seems like most of the other buggy folks are now in VA, DE and NJ...

If all I'm doing is buggying, I normally have room in my vehicle for another couple of bodies + gear.
If conditions line up, and I don't have anything else on my plate, I'll make a trip to Wildwood and you are welcome to ride with us (as long as my wife doesnt try to pack the everything along with the kitchen sink in the car...).
More likely that I'll make a trip to The Bowl if conditions line up though...

where and what is the the Bowl

Information in quotes. It was posted earlier in this same thread.

The Bowl is a "bowl-shaped" field. It only works on North to NNW winds due to its exposure to the wind/river. It can work on West winds, but tends to be very gusty and unpredictable. I once got lofted there very badly on WNW winds and nearly broke my arm.

Hope this helps.

anyone free this weekend
i really want to ride my atb some

Already got plans for Saturday (which might fall through), and winds do not look good for The Bowl on Sunday. If my plans for tomorrow fall through, I might look at something tomorrow... but I am still not making the trek to Wildwood.

Saturday might be okay at The Bowl... If things line up for that, I'll post something in the morning. It might be a bit much west though... which can get nasty.

We shall see what happens...
