The salmon season also closes at 12:00 today so no more snaggle carpus in the way!! Dress warm, I'll be there at 5. _________________ Bury me standing cause I won't lay down!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVvAw2VFR4Y&feature=PlayList&p=FB7233C37686AC79&playnext_from=PL&playnext=1&index=34 chanson Since 31 Jan 2006 1874 Posts WISCONSIN Chimey Mon Apr 21, 08 1:01 pm     nice....no more snaggle...!!!I'll be there as well. BTW, I found another sweet spot on Sun. This is a Sunday only place, cause it's industrial and there was no one there when I went. It also looks like it is still under construction, so we might have access for a bit before they finish. Also, some cool banks and ramps to jib on. Here are some pics from my phone. It's on the way to Kelly Pt Park. Works on W-SW, W-NW and strong Easterlies.    new location.jpg  stringer Since 31 Jul 2007 694 Posts Chucktown Flying Tomato Mon Apr 21, 08 1:45 pm     I'll be there if there is no rain. If any of you guys planning on showing up brings an extra kite, that would be greatly appreciated, mine completely blows ass. PDXMB has been working on a new trick lately, the monkey loop!!! I'd say he was stomping these about 65% (Shield your eyes if you are not prepared to witness the glory)    IMG_7013a.jpg  DrewB Since 16 Aug 2006 385 Posts PDX Obsessed Mon Apr 21, 08 2:22 pm     PDX MB- where are you guys meeting tonight?

It was light at times but when it picked up it was really fun. We had the whole parking lot to ourselves. _________________ Bury me standing cause I won't lay down!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVvAw2VFR4Y&feature=PlayList&p=FB7233C37686AC79&playnext_from=PL&playnext=1&index=34 chanson Since 31 Jan 2006 1874 Posts WISCONSIN Chimey Tue Apr 22, 08 12:36 pm     yeah...from the south..up and down... but can't beat the empty lot. stringer where were you with the rail...?    monkeyboy.JPG     toeside.JPG     empty lot.JPG  stringer Since 31 Jul 2007 694 Posts Chucktown Flying Tomato Tue Apr 22, 08 12:39 pm     I'm bummed I missed it yesterday, anyone going out today? Might be a good day to check out chinook landing. Gman, you've been out to chinook before, how'd it look? Google maps shows trees, but the wind may be stronger there than PDX. Gman Since 11 Feb 2006 4911 Posts Portland Unstrapped Tue Apr 22, 08 1:17 pm     Not nearly as good as PDX - seemed too tree shaded - with parking lot areas seperated by trees - some space if you connect up all the areas but lots of crap to get hung up on. _________________ Go Deep! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eu2pBpQolKE pdxmonkeyboy Since 16 May 2006 6081 Posts forever labled as the retired kiter & motorhead Unicorn Master Tue Apr 22, 08 2:42 pm     congrats to DrewB for popping his skat8 kite cherry.
