Today I Brag

So I also frequent reading a Unicycle forum and am going to steal the idea of one of their threads for here... It's called "Today I Brag".

So did you just set a new PB for speed? Finally managed a trick or to fluidly do something? New height you jumped to? Found a new awesome place to kite, or make a fun mod to a piece of equipment? Doesn't matter how basic or advanced the item is, just something new you accomplished and are proud of. Hopefully we can use it to all support each other and push ourselves.

Doesn't have to be new. Just some small item you feel worth bragging/sharing.

So I'll start this off. Today I finally made it 250 of so feet on my BC Wheel with a fixed bridle kite. Not a super far distance, but in the wind we had, it's a huge improvement on my past attempts. I also did it mounting two different ways, which makes me wonder if there's still yet a better untried mount. Unfortunately, didn't make anything worth mentioning new on my mountain board or buggy... But I can brag on behalf of my friend's wife, who finally got the courage to try the buggy with their trainer (2m Symphony in 12-15mph wind), and managed 100 or so feet, just pointing downwind.
