Well, I just got back from the NSSS after a great session. I finally got up the guts to try some sent frontrolls. I was pretty excited when I landed a few after a couple of really nice wipeouts. What a total blast, nothing quite like flying through the air backwards. Here are a few photos of my first completed one. I tried to sequence it but from Janet's angle all the pictures were pretty much on top of each other.

That must have been Duane on the 5m. Was he ok?
We took off earlier. I think the sensor is reading a bit low even, so those must have been some monster gusts. I started on a 9m, then went out on the 7m and was totally lit, and I weigh about 215 without all my gear on. Couple guys showed up when I was there just as the wind started to ramp, and 10's were their smallest kites. They didn't last very long.
