go grannies go

its all looking good, seems like you have the right kiting /kiting balance

in the morning , make carbon bits, in the afternoon use present carbon bits, yay.

how long will your line of kiting credit last ? is a credit crunch when it goes defcon 5 and you are hit on the head with a frying pan ?

looking forward to seeing the manta in full swoop one day

now i understand why you wana do things like nuke the moose and 90mile mission on a deck and have huge tyres.....that looks gnarly man, somebody could have left a whole parking lot in that grass an nobody would know!
if i had to buggy on grass like that i think id just burst into tears an start rocking back an forth.
be carefull in their man.........

yes i'm pushing the kiting limit at the moment. burning the midnight oild making my trucks doesn't help.

also kiting is my second sport! my main one is mountain biking......

the hill looks worse than it is Al. its pretty sweet infact. theres natural kickers and a big flat area too. the cows need to go back in an eat it down so i can see where i'm going.

ps i've goto make do with what i have available. on that day it was the far better option than the beach that was just poo.

pss the dynamics of hill riding is pretty cool also trying to take into account the wind window change up the hill and the ventury affect aswell! mind you i suppose you guys know all about that riding the moose hills.

Nice one Plummet!

Get that hill practice in bro. Ill be coming to visit to ride that hill of yours in the not too distant future... Looks like a sweet spot.

Keep up the good work.

Butch

the hill is pretty sweet. and right on the beach front so the wind is clean. its not the biggest hill in the world and may be to mellow for the mighty Butch. Yourd have to bring a board with big wheels as its not the smoothest ride.

righto i hit my hill again yesterday. probably the first time since autum. so i'm abit rusty with my hill flying skill.

anyway i belt down the hill (wind is cross on) bang the kite back and re-direct for a floaty landing.
But...
I'm finding because i'm hooning downhill with a more upwind tack than i could do on the flat as i jump i kinda swing downwind and land with the kite slight behind or above with very little power. infact i'm loosing ballance and landing on my arse on occasions.

perhaps i'm not redicting hard enough? or do i need to send the kite back less to begin with?

any adea's

Redirect more bro, you need to in those conditions or youll get dropped and hurt.

ok thats what i had sorta figured by the end of the session. but thought i would ask just incase i was missing something.

looks like some sea breazes are starting to kick in. i might get more chances to hit the hill.
