The indicators aren't as quite as good as yesterday, but what the hell, they weren't really that great yesterday either.... It's sunny and there's a chance! I'm leaving for the island around 4pm. _________________ Lets FLY pdxmonkeyboy Since 16 May 2006 6081 Posts forever labled as the retired kiter & motorhead Unicorn Master Tue Apr 07, 09 1:40 pm     Kataku2k3 Since 14 Aug 2005 3753 Posts Los Angeles, CA Videographer Tue Apr 07, 09 1:41 pm     Ummm, Steve... Not sure I believe that you guys rode yesterday... Didn't you say you were uploading some vids to YouTube? FlyDunes Since 09 Oct 2007 1034 Posts Aloha XTreme Poster Tue Apr 07, 09 1:59 pm     Yep, the problem was that each go-pro vid we shot was ~ 500Mb and that busts the youtube limit. I just did a rapid edit of some junk footage to satisfy you doubting bitches. So this isn't what I'd rather post, and I'm not gonna get any helicopter rides to do my next vid, but.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxIOJqs_UVo _________________ Lets FLY Tony Since 28 Aug 2006 940 Posts Portland Opinionated Tue Apr 07, 09 2:00 pm     pdxmonkeyboy wrote: no shit... Winds currently "calm" Time: almost 3pm forcast calls for a gust of 8mph....from who knows what direction... Odds for riding upwind (let alone launching your kite)... -20% Odds of drinking a lot (passing out in the parking lot - puking all over the passenger seat) 150%..... What the 8 ball would say: Bring several cases of beer FlyDunes Since 09 Oct 2007 1034 Posts Aloha XTreme Poster Tue Apr 07, 09 2:15 pm     lol. Whatever. I didn't say it was gonna blow out, i said there was a half ass chance it would work again. I got a couple hours of fun (not great) kiting in yesterday, and I'm willing to take a chance on some more. I'll let you whiny ho's in on the actuals when i get back. Odds are pretty good you'll get to give me shit for wasting my time. Fremont says N7 now and it usually doesn't pick up till about 5 or so anyway. The haze thats happening right now could sure kill it tho. _________________ Lets FLY Kataku2k3 Since 14 Aug 2005 3753 Posts Los Angeles, CA Videographer Tue Apr 07, 09 2:16 pm     FlyDunes wrote: Yep, the problem was that each go-pro vid we shot was ~ 500Mb and that busts the youtube limit.

Looks pretty grim for any PM pick-up and probably too west now too. _________________ Lets FLY pkh Since 27 Feb 2005 6549 Posts Couve / Hood Honored Founder Tue Apr 07, 09 3:24 pm     Tony wrote: Kataku2k3 wrote: Ummm, Steve...

Every time you drive out and don't get shit (shit being the type of riding in the video) then you get nicked for the co2 you spewed into the air. 1 gallon of gas burned roughly equals 20lbs of co2 released. From downtown portland, its a 42 mile round trip to the beach. mschulz Since 29 May 2007 530 Posts Reno, NV Addicted Tue Apr 07, 09 3:47 pm     pdxmonkeyboy wrote: I think we should start a Sauvie island carbon footprint thread.

What does 20lbs of co2 equate to in damage to the environment? _________________ MS pdxmonkeyboy Since 16 May 2006 6081 Posts forever labled as the retired kiter & motorhead Unicorn Master Tue Apr 07, 09 4:05 pm     you kill one tree. LOL I think it is hard to quantify down to that level but it is a poisonous gas and the earth is a closed system so at least that is some food for thought. I know I wouldn't want 20lbs of co2 hanging in my living room. I wonder how much space that would take up? Last year my car put almost 7 tons of co2 in the air (and I get 32mpg). 20,000 miles a year in the hozone...30,098 lbs a year! http://www.terrapass.com/carbon-footprint-calculator/ Kataku2k3 Since 14 Aug 2005 3753 Posts Los Angeles, CA Videographer Tue Apr 07, 09 4:54 pm     pkh wrote: Tony wrote: Kataku2k3 wrote: Ummm, Steve...

I'd be cool if Phil and the crew would kidnap ya one night and toss you over the border (with no ID), just to see if you could get back in. I like cold water.

From downtown portland, its a 42 mile round trip to the beach. I personally intend to kill most of tillamook forest this summer. Plus the riding in the video was actually pretty good for lite conditions. Kelt was getting decent air from time to time, but the fisheye lens makes it look like nothing. And remember, this is only his 2nd season on a kiteboard. _________________ Lets FLY Tony Since 28 Aug 2006 940 Posts Portland Opinionated Tue Apr 07, 09 9:38 pm     x2!

(just kidding about phil... ) The way things are going at work...I kinda wish I don't come back... and if I do end up in mexico, chances are, I seriously might have trouble getting back since all I have is a drivers license. I guess I'm looking forward in getting some time off... I got a feeling SPI w/ everyone else, is gonna be pretty fun... Maybe next time Adam.... I'll hit you up on the epoxy later.... thanx        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
