  1. Bump for a top Chap :-)
  2. Not exactly practice - just trying to encourage my hand to work - it would be good if I could turn the kite left as well as right :-0 Seat is due by the end of the month .........
  3. Yesterday : a little bit of buggying, a little bit of of boarding and quite a lot of hand not wanting to work today ...... Good fun though :-)
  4. I keep telling you, once the Solent freezes I'll fly on it ;-)
  5. Sam isn't too happy : he's still in france waiting t see if his flight home from geneva is still on ..............................
  6. Ooohhh Banff - watch out for the bears Sam will initially be training "somewhere" in Austria, then competing in the BARSC races in Petzen, then 2 days in Les Houches, then racing for 3 days in Toulon (FIS). Or something like that - I loose track .......
  7. I'm not jealous ;-) Where are you going ? PS - Sam has already been out twice and is due out again on the 27th ..........
  8. Hello all :-) Any body going to the slippy white stuff this season ?
  9. Hillhead has a small land area, gets very crowded, and the wet wobbley stuff :-) It's where young Ollie used to hang out ............be careful out there ;-)
  10. [ I dont want to dis land kiting, but there is a better alternative:rolleyes: That would be snow then
  11. Martin if you like them wobbley (!!!!!) you may struggle with the Revos. Ideally you'll need the softest rubbers and possible have to shave them down a little. Additionally they are very fussy re deck angles I initially had them on a 35 deg deck. Not good - ask Gonzo. That said when right they hold sooo much power :-) Be very careful doing the bolts - tis possible to warp the units if you don't tourque them properly. Once set up totally bombproof. Enjoy :-)
  12. Nice Revos Martin - which rubbers (oh er missus) are you using? Setting them up is a pain, but once done they are very nice. Not that I'm biased or 'owt ;-) Off to St Gervais tomorrow (very cheap last minute deal). Have a pair of race department Super- G planks coming for Sam. Oh dear .............
  13. How **** is this country ...... Sam's trainning has been cancelled tonight due to H&S concerns at the ski slope ........ I give up.......even the Fench have more common sense :-( Rant over - for now).
  14. T595 if you really want dry slope info (and lots of it.....) give me a shout. Additionally getting up to speed on indoor slopes - in fact we're at milton keynes at stupid o'clock tomorrow morning...........Dan we will be in Les Houches form about the 28th Dec to 7th-ish of Jan. So if your in, or around the Chamonix area, possible link up. We'll leave the racers in their box and go up to Argentiere :-)
  15. Hello Jack-son. I think you'll find the rugby club is too close to the airport: the CAA get very jumpy about kites around active airfields.......AV can probably remember - I'm too old and senile ........
  16. That was fun:D Hope all the "injuries" heal soon. Maybe I should unpack the car ..........(or just go somewhere else:p ) J will organise the pics over the next couple of days. See you all soon:)
  17. Loads of wind at the mo: but lots lots of football, rugby and cricket ..... Oh, and newbie muppets who can't take gentle advise about saftey .........
  18. Sorry there is no wind - recieved the barrows for the buggy - the curse of new kit :-(
