Well... The wind did not show up like predicted.

Sunday was fun flying BIG kites. not so much room for all that fabric - only a few collisions.

The wind did pick up some about 4:15. I took Becky's 5meter for a run. not bad at all.

Thanks everyone - really nice to see the original Ken in the buggy again B)

Thanks Ron ,it was so great to be back riding with everyone again and to be right in the middle of the GP mini word cup was the best with all the race buggies and vapors speeding around what a hoot . with a show like that we should start charging admission to all the farm market folk who likely had to make there way to the park to see what the heck was going on with all those parachutes in the sky haha .good job to all and i have to say i love being with you all . ps thanks for watching out for me and giving me a bit of help when i need it . :D

I want to know why Richard and Ken3 can not run on the same line? :blink:

I don't remember how many times the rider who was going towards 2 buggies had to thread the needle and go between the 2.

It happened to me a lot and I remember Richard screaming like a girl and sliding right through :o :o on more than 1 occasion. It did look good but it took some quick reactions to keep the collisions to a minimum... B)

K3. You should edit some video to make it look like we have all the space we need with nice long runs.

weight ... tire configuration (i guess i shouldnt be using slicks on that dirt/dry grass)

K3 is a girl = mr.ken "2 sizes smaller" jensen. hehehe.

plus we were on real kites using 11m

PS. it was most exciting to see Ken #1 out again. good thing we just ride and enjoy the same passion/company.
