I'm in need of help pumping up my kite.

I typically use both hands to pump and occasionally stop to pull up my boardies so my butt crack doesn't attract all of the hotties starring at me.

-Should I switch to a one hand pump action, so I can hold my beer in the other?
-How far do I stick the nipple into the hole before actually pumping?
-When finishing the inflation process, how do I measure if my kite is erect enough for a solid kite session?
-Can someone create an equation to help me gauge the proper inflation psi by converting my leading edge psi, thus thrusting towards my wingtips and extending into my individual struts?
-If my pump breaks is there anyway to inflate my kite with my farts?

Any input would be helpful. Confused

Where is the old nwkite? Wink

hahahaha....about time someone called it out Jake!

There were 8000 deaths in the bathtub last year....so don't take a bath. America is becoming the land of pussies and lemmings so wrap yourself in your kite and suck your thumb.

Also, where in the fuck is MonkeyBoy??? He would be having a heyday with this shit.

Go kite people.....you'll be amazed at what you learn from your session.

I think a lot of the original funny crew that all knew each other and used to come on here to shoot the shit has gotten preoccupied with other things. Sad but true. It's in the hands of the new generation of nwkite enthusiasts to make things awesome again.

You should train your dog to pump up the kite. Confused Cool Laughing
Then you can have your beer & drink it too--Except for this weekend--!!!
