return to kiting


well after 5 months and ~$15,000 i've been released from Physical Therapy and the docs agree that the achilles / leg are good to go!

looking foreward to getting back to kiting pretty much asap although i'll be quite rusty and apprehensive for a bit....

And had to check another video to get an idea of the scale of these critters...

Ah yeah, the 1/5th scale stuff is awesome. I recently got into these myself and they're very addicting (and expensive). Nice idea PHREE, I should try that with my 1/5th scale Castle conversion that does wheelies. ;)




PB: 29.9 MPH! ;)

that was the hardest time of my life.... isolation, pain, depression, anger, feeling useless, rehab, insurance wars, etc. i have new and deep compassion for those hurting and how just spending time with them is the best thing you can do to help.

thanks everyone, i'll write a little something after the first session .
