andy159 Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 how do yep theres a few of us that go there its called wykin park and if your coming from leicester take a left on the roundabout before triumph then first right under the yellow parking height post by a small patch of allotments. good little place nice space and elivated so good winds just on my way there shortly and more than likely tmrw too. there more than likely someone there, hit me a pm when youre thinkin of popin over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleMonkey Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 hi Jonathan1, where in leicester are you? i have tried flying in Abbey Park a couple of times the air is quite lumpy there because of the trees and can be a bit busy too. might try Victoria park next. i live in the city centre and do not own a car so i am very limited as to where i can fly, which is frustrating cos i am just getting into the sport and just bought a second hand MBS board really want to jump on it and learn to ride it.

PurpleMonkey Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 yeah, love to go to Air Boss soon, but i don't drive so a bit difficult to get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foz.foz Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Abbey Park....... bet that was a laugh?? Surprised you never got booted off mate. Airboss is not bad on it's day if the wind is blowing in the right direction, although like you say if you haven't got the transport, it can work out on the dear side with train/bus fare + entry fee for flying. If you close enough to Weston Park, you can squeeze a good session there IF there's no footy/cricket/scrotes on peds etc. Just get insurance though if you haven't got any yet.In todays blame/claim culture, it's best to cover your ass Foz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleMonkey Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 good bit of advice Foz cheers, will sort out insurance soon. when you say the wind in the right direction at Airboss, which direction is best??? i'll check out Weston park this week i think, then scrounge a lift of someone and pop over to Airboss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foz.foz Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Most directions are flyable at Airboss, but if I remember right, westerlies seemed to be best, running parallel with the runway. Sure someone will correct me if I am wrong. Just watch out for the Wookie that resides up there. It WILL go through your kit bag if its not secure and zipped up. You have been warned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleMonkey Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 WTF is the Wookie??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kite Chick Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 WTF is the Wookie??? best directions are easterleys and westerleys, the back field works on a northerley and the middle field works well on southerleys, but as foz said, it works in most directions. the "wookie" is our dog, she has grown out of being curious now but likes a good fuss.

Cafe.Racer Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Photos of the Wookie are rare because they usually get mis-classified as "Sasquatch" pictures and get buried in Area 51. However, Sand-Yeti appears to have caught this little gem... http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a394/Sand-Yeti/Buggying%20pics/Airbossworld1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleMonkey Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 the "wookie" is our dog, she has grown out of being curious now but likes a good fuss. Aha, i look forward to meeting her, she looks lovely in Sand Yeti's pic. I will get over to there and give her some fussing as soon as i get back from Poland.

tobias Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Hi guys, sorry to hijack. Im new to landboarding, been doing traction for a while on and off. Doing some landboarding lessons soon and want to meet up with like minded people, is airbossworld busy at the weekends, would be great to be able to turn up somewhere where they welcome landboarders and not usher them away. From Peterborough so not much of a drive for me. Tobias. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
