I rode out on my bike around 7PM. The wind was good over the Freemont Bridge, buy the time I got to the Sauvies, light wind and three fisherman.
Monkeyboy - did you get anything? W
Who is in for tonight? I have my gear and beer in the car.

We got some on the ass-phalt. about 9 knots at the airport gets you going pretty good with some pimpy bearings!! |
Was the wind out of the north or mostly NW? does that get sketch with kites over Marine Drive

I did manage to fly my plane with a video camera attached and get some pretty cool footage of the beach and what not.
There was absolutely positively not even a puff of wind. |
That's cool, send us a link to the vid if you can. |

I was going to do that but I just got a new computer and my "copy" of adobe premier won't load  I'm going to look through the computer tonight and see if there is some dumb dumb video editing software on vista. It's an avi file and I just need to cut the fluff out.
I'm going to rig a plane up so we can get video of all the kites on the water which would be super cool as long as I don't run into one.
Paper thin plastic prop spinning at 17,000 rpm -vs- piece of nylon ...I'm betting on the prop.

Gman-
the wind was out of the NW, so only if you were way at the edge of the window, and super close to the South side of the lot would your kite go into semi's....Kevin almost did it once. HAHa.
But, also on a NW you can actually ride up and down that huge boat launch shaped like a enormous banked half-pipe!!
-tonight if no sauvies, I think we'll go...just gotta be later than 5ish. |

| Fremont Bridge is 9N. Close call, but I'm guessing sauvie isn't worth the drive, what do you guys think? Is there any chance of more wind on the water? |
