T595 Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 Hey Alan, aren't these the kites you said would scare me? http://community.flexifoil.com/showthread.php?p=1717376#post1717376 Someone lend me £1400
martin Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 Watch out for the pikeys at Salisbury 118, although you're quite a big chap. Sleeping last night was uncomfortable but i'll live, i think the bruising is on the inside around my left tit. I really should have down sized, i'll listen to myself next time, although the 5m Ace probably would have done the same. I need some no lift race kites. I've only got tonight & tomorrow night to work (recovery period), then i'm off until Monday so i'll be out in the second half of the week. Glad crashmatt got some good runs in, don't want anyone getting disheartened with the sport & think about packing it in.

T595 Posted April 7, 2008 Report Posted April 7, 2008 T595 - its on the A345 to andover. You wont miss it! Just before old sarum. When you go past it there is a layby opposite a harvister pub. You can turn here or park if the gates to the field are shut... Dont bother until its south/SW'ly though. Um the A345 to Andover? The A345 doesn't go to Andover, it's goes to Amesbury.... The A343 goes to Andover Lost already without leaving home:confused:

g0nz01599968659 Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 Cool - GP-x is nice for speed runs. It has higher side rails thsn the GP, so it turns better. Lol - You'll have to learn toe side if you buy that:D It'll teach you a lot about balance & kite skills. Dont Jump it or u will bend it.
