Hey Sunshine, take it easy now, you might want to look at the sensor readings first. But you can blame Pipedragon really, and maybe even Charlie, I think those boys were making noise about Alameda.fearlu wrote:Wild friggin' goose chase to Alameda yesterday. Thanks for the inside tip. Quit dreamin', it's only February. Back to my cubicle like a groundhog. You guys with new gear are just killin' me. How 'bout wind and old gear? Testy? Maybe a little.
Football sucks too and the entire country is gearing up for the Stupid Bowl... sheesh.
Dave, did you really go to Alameda? I'm not buying it...the Big Bear comes out of hibernation and goes to Alameda? No, I'm not buying it.fearlu wrote:Definitely pipe and chuck's fault. Oh yeah. I saw the pager readings...
but they said it was gonna blow!
It's true, the bear came out. I was up the highway at Pt. Emery (turned out to be too light) rigging a new bar and a guy showed up, launch a brand new 16, went out and promptly dropped it in the mud, and he said that D was at Alameda waiting for wind but went for a bike ride instead.KillaHz wrote:Dave, did you really go to Alameda?

Come on up to the snow man, it blows all the time up here.
I knew we werent getting the whole story.fearlu wrote:Okay, I admit it. I was going on a mountain bike ride in Joaquin Miller Park in Oaktown and I swung by the beach to see all the wind they told me I would be missing, and "voila!" perfect mountain biking weather.
Didn't have time for the coast either.
Somehow the cold, hard ground seems a little too unfriendly for my dangerous riding style. (I'm scared to kite on land.)

Charlie, you're too kind, I had a blast, but Anthony and Darren were displaying a powerful command today, it got me stoked being out there and watching them. I was kind of surprised - on the outside there were a few double overheads but I gave them their run and let them dissipate before I got too close. Btw, the Windwing Rage II was absolutely incredible and flew so solid and tight, turned wonderfully and the range was exponential with the CC bar and SAFE bridle system. It's true that everyone else was on 10's and 8's.. I'm so stoked on those kites. I'll post a full review on them soon...charlie wrote:dew
