Packing for NABX

I'm leaving for NABX on Monday, and today i'm trying to wrangle all of my gear together.  I've been so concerned about packing my kites and other junk that I almost forgot that i'm going to need some clothing!  I hope to see you all out on the playa next week! Ride the Sky!

Old times

I only had to work a half day today, so i'm a little bored since it is cold and raining outside.  I was thinking of the days when I used to just kite jump before I started riding the ATB.  I love floating in the air like peter pan

Weekend in Central Illinois

I went home to Illinois to visit my family this weekend because i had to pick up my fiance joy at the St. Louis airport.  I had Saturday morning to myself, so i thought i'd get in a quick session before i had to head to the airport.  The wind started out at 13-18mph which was perfect for the first half hour or so.  After that wind jumped up to 27mph.  I tried to hold it down on my 15m charger but but with the wind shifting constantly from the North to the West made it really sketchy.  In a wind direction change my kite looped half way and powered up low in the window, so i had to pull the safety.  I quickly packed up and started to set up my 12m charger.  the wind was getting so stronge by then that my kite weights and kite were sliding down wind.  I couldn't even get the 12m set up because the wind was crankin.  I had no other option because the 12 is my smallest wing in the quiver so I sat in the field and enjoyed the outdoors for a bit before I left.  I was a little bummed, but I at least got to ride for 30 mins or so.  I guess i'll need to get a 10m at some point!

Look at how much unused space is in Central Illinois!!! thats my favorite field to fly in so far

Who Farted?

Somebody's always gotta point their finger and blame you for ripping a big one.
