yeah so you know kiting is small when someone from the east coast recognizes your from the forum.. i was up skiing (bachelor) and some homie got on the lift with me and he started chatting..started talking about kiting and then all of a sudden he freaks out and recognizes me from NWkite..kinda creepy..i tried to play dumb (i was afraid i might have made a rude comment to him or something) anyways then proceeds to go off about the recent post about (Newbie: how would this be for my first set-up) thing, and how he will only buy blah blah blah..that's when i turned on my music and just smiled and nodded... and said peace have a good day..haha anyways really random but i thought it was funny..any other crazy stories?

Before I got the new fake fronts in my teeth people were always recognizing me on the meadows lifts... "Oh, your Forrest, when we get off this lift I'm going to @#$S your @#$@"... But I would always talk them out of it by the time we got to the top... "Oh, I'm married" or "sorry, I'm straight" or "I'm a hemophiliac".

I kid, I kid... But people did recognize me for me missing teeth which I'm glad is a thing of the past... At least they recognize you from your face.

Fo, as long as I have been reading kiteboarding forums, you've been keeping it real... Though, how do people recognize you? Do you actually look like a cat dressed up like Shakespeare?

I wear my I'm not fokiten muscle tee of course.

Actually, I've taken to denying any knowledge of me.

thanks man

I can honestly say no one has ever recognized me from the forum - not sure why - how many guys out there look like me (old guy, white hair, glasses, wears a business suit) Laughing

But when I do talk to people and I tell them I am terremoto from the forum - I generally get a laugh or a snicker. saul good I suppose.

oh yeah, try telling people your forum name is pdxmonkeyboy Embarassed

I usually have to cover my mouth and kind of muffle the words.

although I will say most enjoy the humor.

i remember being at the nwkite party lastyear, being stoned and standing next to Phil. All of the sudden he yells out "This is PDXMonkeyBoy". Was cool and funny

A girl i work w/ introduced Moto and i a few weeks ago, no facial recognition, just cool to meet another kiter. Right away though, we were talking about nwkite

AHhaa, Dude, it's that picture of your body with my head on it! That's what made people think that! Straight guys don't have bodies like yours! Lets see that again! I just want to see what I would look like if I was gay!

Ahha, Just kidding!
