To anyone who witnessed me losing my temper yesterday at Stevenson I sincerely apologize. I was detatching my lines when someone dropped their kite on my head- the kite line clipped my ear and I proceeded to blast this guy in front of a group of usual suspects. I could have chosen to take him aside and discuss it calmly but I made a bad decision. No room for that kind of temper out there, sorry my bad!!!. Embarassed

That guy was an a$$. After you told him he should make sure he has eye contact before dropping his kite, he should have said "yeah you're right.....I am sorry. Instead of saying "But I whistled!"

give ya self a break, man.
we's all human, and sometimes tempers run a bit high.

in the end, its just dawgs barking.
takes courage to apologize, though.

Jeff fuck'd his heal/shin up a couple weeks ago. And I think Ken pulled something yesterday. Apparently you shouldn't try doing a 1 footed 360 around your board, while riding blind! Laughing Hope you're okay, Ken!

Old School (aka Chris Anderson) told me the Chiropractor from Olympia (supper chill guy, can’t remember his name right now) got a bad launch and when to the Hospital. Something about getting surgery on his hand and getting picked up the next day.

Just another reminder shit happens.

hey man
I dont get why you flipped out like that! I always come in at Steve-I and drop my kite on the peeple setting up there... Its such a small area, its like I know one of you is gonna grab it 'cause like my line is around your neck. Me, Im just to cool to signal... the whole "patting the head" thing make me feel like a monkey... dig? And the others are either as badass as me, or they just dont care about ettiquette and/or safety, like me, so f#$%ing catch it, bro thanks!
Ps. If you were in your car smokin tweed this would'a never happened!! Its a great way say "hi" too.. Its how I met my 2nd wife!

Yeah that Yardsale guy is always yelling at people. I saw him yell at a guy one time just because he hot launched him before he had a chance to hook in and attach his leash. That whole waiting until you get a thumbs up to launch someone is for beginners. Laughing Twisted Evil

Ya well I have no thumbs left thanks to your last launch help Julian.......just a couple little bumps where they used to be.....boo hoo (sobbing intensely!)
I'd like to dedicate this thread to my thumbs, where ever you buds are (floating down river).....I miss you guys!! Hey if anybody catches a Salmon with a thumb inside......please send it back on ice. Address it to Portland Police Dept. Attn. Julian. Shocked Very Happy
