I managed to escape the car breakins on Saturday. Saw glass in front of my truck and the car behind me looked like it got busted into. I had all my stuff in my rocket box. I'm thinking that the crooks were just looking for the easy stuff for a smash and grab. Maybe I need to get a dog. Lee- is Bandit for hire?

I have a patent on that landing technique. Calling it the Bam Butt Bounce! Henry did catch me at a pretty awkward moment there. Good thing we have fifth lines these days as I see my hand got a bit caught up in the leash.

Hey, whatcha gonna do... The only way to progress is to fall hard. I could stick with the stuff I know and butter all my landings, but what fun is that. I am just fortunately enough to have a big ass and enough stout in the body to take a good jolt.

Now, go unhooked and sent it... Bam Butt Bounce...

Tried some true downloop moves that day that also ended up in some pretty spectacular splashes. Very hard to get good lift when you power the kite into a downloop to start the move. Anybody have any tips on that???

Another good reason to throw down for the big rocket box, keeping gear from being stolen. Man, what I would give to see some one smashing a window and stealing gear. I have had many things stolen from my cars in the past and would love to share the frustration with some crack head about it. Also leaving my dogs in the car usually keeps my car safe, plus the added benefit of them not taking unattended shits and pissing all over gear.

P.S. I leave them in the car at the coast, it never gets hot in the car ever with a window cracked.

He was definitly throwing down so insane loops and unhooked tricks. I was just having trouble getting my camera to focus fast enough. With all the sweet riding I have not had time to get my camera dialed in.
