...we're going to have daily press releases covering this week's Ro Sham action, with a recap video and photo. I haven't been too active on this board for a while, but anyone have a suggestion where I can post the content on here, and would that be kosher...people want to see it?

It's a great crew this year, with folks from Antigua, Australia, England, Scotland, the U.S., Uruguay, and elsewhere.

The park just got setup today and it's gonna be sick! This year's event will be North America's — and quite possibly the world's first — truly slopestyle kiting event.

If any of you NW kiters can make it out, it's definitely gonna be a great show. Bring a lawn chair, cooler full of beer and watch the action up close from the tip of the Sandbar.

Here are a few pix and videos taken from today's practice. They were taken from my iPhone so they are not the greatest.
