Well the season isn't carrying the momentum we hoped for after getting a jump start back in freakin November.  People are running around spouting "global warming" assuming these last two unusually warm months are because the Earth is getting warmer.  But we've been noticing that the spring months have been colder the last few seasons so it appears to me to be a shift in the seasonal cycles. At least that's what I'm going to keep telling myself.  Otherwise I might become suicidal at the thought that my snowkite seasons might be getting shorter. I've been playing with various Arcs that I haven't had much time on and cruising on my Coyotes (off road skates) as a substitute for skis and snow.  The Coyotes are actually a hell of a lot of fun but I use them rarely because they dig in a lot if the ground is a little soft and I don't want to tear up anyone's fields. But when the surface is firm they're a hoot. Mo and Jo Molly and...

My Snowkite Season Finish at the Home of the World's Worst Weather.

Okay this session isn't my usual search for speed but my schedule and the weather FINALLY worked together and I managed to get one more day of riding in on the summit of Mount Washington.  Highest peak in the northeast and home of the highest wind ever observed.  (well, up until recently anyway) Wikipedia has good info on it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Washington_(New_Hampshire ) Our winds were a lot easier. I've been waiting over a month to get a chance to hit Washington.  Everyday that the conditions were right I had to work and every day I had off the winds were blowing the wrong way or too hard.  Mike Elliott and I were going to head up a few weeks ago and backed out at the last minute because of a weather change only to find out our friend Mark Acitelli from Colorado bagged a session on the west side of the mountain. We usually have NW winds which works for the west side but the west side rarely has enough good snow to make it worth heading up....

Low Speed and High Tech Pt.1.

Alright, so I've fallen miserably short of my goals for getting a blog entry in for each week in November.  I was all hot and bothered but some distractions popped up and I had to prioritize a little.  I had resigned myself to the fact that I would have to do short blog entries to meet my goal and in my defense I started several but as anyone who ha ever read this nonsense knows I prefer to drone on forever.  Short and sweet is not my way.  Save that sort of writing for the damn Twitter stuff.  I have a Twitter acct. by the way and I have yet to do a tweet.  I just haven't seen the point yet I guess.  I mean who gives a crap if "I just walked the dog!" or "I just bought new socks on sale!" or "I just had a prostate exam!".  Really, doe's anyone need to know or even care. Maybe my assessment is a little broad and superficial but when I hear that Kim Kardashian has over 5 million twitter followers I find it a little annoying.  If she co...
