Good call Dano! I put a decent size hole in one of my 7m strut's bladder yesterday at Stevenson (Tony @ SS said, "You're going to wear your kite out." as I dragged it from the SS parking lot over to the launch), and JP's got the TearAid in his car at work (downtown) so yea... Can't even fix the kite right now. Don't feel like driving downtown. And I'll STOP complaining now. 
Might just have to find a place that the 11m will work at today. Blah!
P.S. - Cool .gif y0!

Sweet, thanks for the heads up, Tony! I think I know who you are... I'm Adam, the smaller asian kid (if Tak is considered the little one) who was at PDX on that last east day, and who was at Stevenson yesterday (taking pics since I only was able to ride for about an hour). Remember me?
EDITED

So check it out...I'm about 190 and I was lit @ Stevenson on my 13 fuel w/ 132 sx  ...What was I thinking, I should have been on a 9....Regardless, that was sweet...Shit, I've only used my 13 at Sauvies 1 time this whole summer and that was for 1/2 hr and than it shut off...I'm not sure if it's just me but this whole Sauvie summer has been kinda weird. Don't get me wrong, Sauvies is a killer spot and I'll always keep going there. I know that when the wind and that fu*#'n current is great, than the conditions can be pretty bitch'n...Especially when the chicks come out in there bikinis and all my kiting bros hang'n out with a pack of bruskies in the cooler. For the most part, I still got a lot of good sessions at Sauvies this summer. As of Yesterday, I've tossed the 18m in the closet. I'm ready for the 13m. Maybe next year, the winds at Sauvies will be a little stronger for me. But for now, look for the Silver Bullet Toyota parked in the Gorge. |
hey tony,
nice to hear the stoke. i love stevenson and kite their almost every weekend. last monday though, the wind was 8 gusting to 24 so, i was just laughing to myself about steady wind. we don't really get that here in the gorge.

Right on man...Yeah PDX airport - don't remind me...The only good thing about that evening was packing my kite...I've only been there twice and they were both pretty sad sessions. Though it looked like you and JP were able to make the best of it...Awesome...!
Oh yeah, Your not the only asian out there. I also seen that little oriental man - the one that smells funny - Whats his name....Tackashima..Well he's the one I seen breast feeding at Sauvies a few weeks back.....note: Don't float around in the water whe he rides by you...While at Stevenson, That little man through a huge spray at me that was unreal...."Jeff - I got a present for you..."
