wurzel Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 Hope you all had a good day... you lucky boys I'm gonna stay local tomorrow and do Ainsdale. Wind straight up the beach, good tide times and height, bit damp but nevermind. Anyone else? hope to be there for a blast about 11. clare might actually get on her buggy this time:cool:
SandMonster Posted February 11, 2007 Author Report Posted February 11, 2007 ...bugger...I knew it would be good if we didn't go ... oh well acouple of hours at ainsdale as compensation will have to do..
big-jon Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 Wind is SW @ 13mph and rising ?? Hope to be out fairly soon
nolan Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 I've woken up with a big red face. I got sunburnt yesterday
JohnDave Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 Fuk me I was knackered by the end of yesterday, I was nearly passed out trying to pump up the waroo at the end of the day. Enough wind, poor direction, top weather and a good bunch of people. Well worth the effort.
garykf Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 Forgot to mention that big respect must go to the buggy freestyle innovator a.k.a. Garykf. I was proud to witness the unveiling of his new trick - the 360 barrel-roll. The hours of meticulous study and practice that must have gone into nailing this trick beggars belief. Huge respect, mate. didnt have to work too hard on that trick mate, comes natural to an athlete like me, bit like falling off a log (or out of a buggy!!!!)
kitebiatch Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 Nice to see the old crew down at ainsdale today..... I finally got to buggy after a lifetime of turnin up on the wrong day at the wrong time lol.... Top day 3.5 flown for the first time since Santa sent it... YIPEE! ... :D
nolan Posted February 12, 2007 Report Posted February 12, 2007 Nice to see the old crew down at ainsdale today..... I finally got to buggy after a lifetime of turnin up on the wrong day at the wrong time lol.... Top day 3.5 flown for the first time since Santa sent it... YIPEE! ... :D Glad to hear you finally got to have a play. How are the muscles today? Big Southerlies forecast Thu/Fri, I'm crossing everything that they'll spill over into Saturday. BRS anyone?
wurzel Posted February 12, 2007 Report Posted February 12, 2007 i got plans to hit brs on friday:D , possibly clare as well. think matt is up for it.. fleetwood bbq and kite club on saturday..otherwise it would be a stop over
nolan Posted February 12, 2007 Report Posted February 12, 2007 You lucky buggers! Will it be your first visit to BRS?
Match Posted February 12, 2007 Report Posted February 12, 2007 think matt is up for it.. Yes indeedy :D Anyone got holidays to use up? Use them or lose them
wurzel Posted February 12, 2007 Report Posted February 12, 2007 You lucky buggers! Will it be your first visit to BRS? it most certainly will:D ..i shall make the most of it too..best take spare wheels for the buggy;) my gut and legs still ache from yesterdays landboarding..actually landed a jump or two..very likkle jumps
PaulLaurie Posted February 12, 2007 Report Posted February 12, 2007 For anyone who's got Windows Vista there is a cool Wind Guru sidebar gadget. Set it to Ainsdale and let it p155 you off all day long that your not there and the wind is not NW.
SandMonster Posted February 13, 2007 Author Report Posted February 13, 2007 ...if the wind/weather still looks good for fri...we may tag along...if I can talk Tom into getting out of bed before midday...
garykf Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 [quote=nolan; Big Southerlies forecast Thu/Fri, I'm crossing everything that they'll spill over into Saturday. BRS anyone? Yes:D
brassneck Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 damn, I was trying to do 'cold turkey' this week and not spend it watching xc / windguru ... BRS sounds tempting, venom is just about dry from last weekend! [quote=nolan; Big Southerlies forecast Thu/Fri, I'm crossing everything that they'll spill over into Saturday. BRS anyone? Yes:D
carltb Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 can i put off any jobs so i can make brs on friday..................wait, ill have a word with the boss............if i put the hours in on thursday i can have the days off. my boss is so understanding of my kiting needs!!!!!!!!
wurzel Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 not looking so favourable now:mad: ..but you never know:rolleyes: .. tomorrow is promising nwesterlies, late teens.. so i'm going to get a bounce in at fleetwood..
Match Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 BRS is usable in plenty of directions tho Si, so long as we get some wind.
wurzel Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 have got my heart set on this trip..10- 12 mph will do:) ..as the kids have been off school this week..at the very least ,a trip to brs puts a bit of distance between me and them:rolleyes:
wurzel Posted February 14, 2007 Report Posted February 14, 2007 it's all gone pear shaped:( ..a very dismal outlook wind wise,looks as though brs is a dead deal even todays wind didn't live up to expectations, enough to have a play and a bit of a bounce though, there are a few new pics on the hangtime website http://www.pbase.com/hangtimekites/root the bbq is being fired up at hangtime on saturday, if your stuck for something to do while your waiting for some wind, grab a bag of burgers 'n' buns and come up to hangtime for a natter and mess around with some no wind toys:) all are welcome... ..you never know, we might end up with a bit of wind:rolleyes:
Match Posted February 15, 2007 Report Posted February 15, 2007 GUTTED.... Was busting to see your face when you saw BRS for the 1st time. Got 1 weekend pass and Ainsdale looks very good for Sunday, if things change may join you at Fleetwood.
wurzel Posted February 15, 2007 Report Posted February 15, 2007 defo see you sunday, if the rain stays off:rolleyes:
wurzel Posted February 15, 2007 Report Posted February 15, 2007 ..giving easterlies for sunday, monday ,tuesday..yes i'm a wind snob;)
SandMonster Posted February 15, 2007 Author Report Posted February 15, 2007 ...BRS not looking worth a precious day off now...need to revisit fleetwood some time soon...
