Jofski Posted July 21, 2003 Report Posted July 21, 2003 I would just like to introduce myself to everyone using this forum ! Just got a Super 10 after being given a Stacker 6, which got pinched after 2 weeks ! Tried a slingshot, an ozone, a razor and a blade this weekend - I have to say CHEERS to whoever you are (HUGH was one of you ! Swansea Bay - 19th July) for giving me a go. My missus enjoyed too ! her chin has been surgically re-attached now !! OH MY GOD !!! How quick can you get hooked on something ??? Its worse than crack (I can only imagine !). I want I want I want... Soon to be selling specialized mountain bikes and other treasured goods. And to think I used to long for 'fair' weather... Quote
Skud_Mark Posted July 21, 2003 Report Posted July 21, 2003 Don't start drawing analogies to drugs as if the government hear about it it will be banned for sure!!! So will we be seeing you at Pendine for the Bank Holiday Weekend - you can see what this sport is really about then!! Quote
Jofski Posted July 22, 2003 Author Report Posted July 22, 2003 Apologies for the analagy ! Just v excited about what i am leting myself in for.. Pendine is a must. Is the kiting ban lifted there now? Quote

There aint no ban at Pendine - the Pendine local boyz keep it that way with a respectable and responsibull attitude btw welcome to the forum, the land of the empty wallet and full kitebag Quote
kitebuggykev1599968598 Posted July 23, 2003 Report Posted July 23, 2003 Go for it Jofski, Have a blast get out there sell your "old sporting Treasures" & take up this fantastic sport of power kiting be it kite buggying land boarding, or kite surfing you will have the time of your life ......once you get used to a few little knocks. ;-) Regards Kevin Brisbane OZ Quote
Jofski Posted July 23, 2003 Author Report Posted July 23, 2003 Cheers for the replies guys !! Appreciate it ! I gotta say that I have been into everything since I was born..but I have yet to come across a sport (? is it a sport? who cares !!) where the practitioners are so friendly, helpful, encouraging etc. And no..I am not an ass bandit either ....! BTW Bellblade - nice bag....give me 18 months and I won't be far off - that is if the nice man in the brown suit at the bank believes me when I say I have an extra income 'off the books, like, so pleeeeeeeeeeease authorise the 2 grand loan' !'! Now bring on the bumps....! Quote

kitebuggykev1599968598 Posted July 24, 2003 Report Posted July 24, 2003 Hey Glen, don't we all look at the trees & flags to see what the wind is doing. Ever since I took up this sport (approx 2 yrs ago) I find myself doing it without even thinking about it. :-)) Regards Kevin Brisbane OZ Quote

DiDi Posted July 25, 2003 Report Posted July 25, 2003 i just got into kiting and noticed that whenever i was watching the weather forecast (yes sad i know) before and it showed the wind speeds i always thought 'who cares' and now its all im looking for. Quote
Snake Posted July 25, 2003 Report Posted July 25, 2003 hi jofski welcome to the crazy world of kiting you are now an addict, and sooner rather than later you will be a poor addict like most of the lost souls on this forum., myself included. so we hope to see you soon at pendine(another addiction to add to the list ) try to make the august bank holiday meet, then you'll see just how crazy your habit will become. enjoy snake Quote
