 Fri Feb 20, 09 9:58 pm Idaho 09 Soldiers Event "Update" |
 |
|
Hey everyone!
Conditions are sick the the first day of the event went off big time. Had up to 70+ kites up in the air and who knows how many visitors stop by on there way to Sun Valley to check it out and take a couple pics.
Rail Crew was on point and slayed the park course. Riders were super stoke to have those to steeze out on...
Porker run went off. No one flew there kite in the power line... That was good.
Sunset sess was off the hook with dream like colors for the ending of day and steady RPM 12m weather till dark.
Tomorrow should be another one to talk about. Till then, Late!

Alright, last update.
Saturday was a big day with winds coming from the east. So pack your bags and hop on the bus and ride to the next spot... A bit of an linguistics nightmare but from what I saw it turned out great!
Super sick spot with some killer features! Riders were super pump for this spot and from what i saw the event had up to 80+ kites up in the air at all times. Blue bird too.
Rode till dark... Missed the bus...
Friday again was super epic day with conditions perfect for the urban grind... All sliders and rails were being used and progression happen... Riders hitting the man-made features were super pumped! Thanks to the crew that threw down and maintained the park... RESPECT! 
Since I was riding most of the time hopefully there are some shots out there that the photo bro will share.... WHERES THE PHOTOS MAN...
Saturday night was beyond off the hook! Super killer night and the sawtooth grill and club. Every tom dick and harry was on hand to help make the night one to remember... The local town was pumped and they had no idea kiters were down to party hard. Basically everyone got wasted... 
Trust me the late night party story's will bubble to the top... 
Sunday was hang over day so homeward bound was the call; Early. Although the wind was up and kiters were out.
Shout out to all the SK crew that came out from all regions, the event organizers, the town of fairfield and all that supported the event!
It was one to remember! Till next time, peace.

Kraemer we missed you! This event had your name written all over it!
Went over hoping for some wind and half way decent weather.... What a nice suprise to find complete sunshine and wind. Great spot for snowkiting. Its like the wild west, complete with mile upon miles of open area. If your feeling brave there are mountain slopes, cornices (my favorite), barb wire, low hanging power lines...
Will go back!!
Thanks to the Monty, the Soldier crew, Naish, Slingshot, Ozone, Krew, and all the others who helped put on the snowkite festival of the year!
Ps Blake has found a new home!! Should run for mayor. Of course he will have to learn to karoke as that seems to be manditory for the position.
Its true.... Idaho, YOU DA HO
