winter olympics

to all those crazy canucks that inhabit this site are we going to see some kite antics at olympic venues on tv, would be nice for all those sweltering Aussies that have to put up with all that heat

Maybe a big push for snowkite course racing Olympic style.

Experience is something you get, just after you need it!

Actually next weekend we will be out there riding P.L. gear but we will not be allowed up the highway without a permit after Feb 11..:ticking:

No plans that I know of to showcase it. Too bad because Green and Alta lakes are right there ! Hopefully some locals will get out and get some press? :ninja:
