Hey guys I know I haven't been around recently to share my kooky stoke and poor advice but I'm done training for the Portland marathon and I'm not doing it next year so I'm back to kiting full time now!

Speaking of which I'm getting to the point that I'm starting to put some serious attempts in on harder tricks (f-16, back mobe, etc) and I would love to spend some time on the water with some experienced kiters. If you are willing to watch me fail and give advice that would be fantastic but even if I could just watch you do stuff and see how you manipulate the kite that would help greatly too. I hope to not let the cooler weather cut into my kiting too much now that I'm available to do so again so if you are a badass kiter and feel like coaching the kook feel free to PM me so we can exchange info.

Also if you are a Jones kiter and plan on kiting during the in-climate weather feel free to do the same. It would be good to have some people to kite with so I don't have to head over to Nuke alley alone.

I've definitely looked at some of those and I'll continue to do so but there's only so much you can learn from the videos. I really need to spend some time out watching people and seeing how they handle their kites during tricks. And of course having a real person to give feedback helps too.
