Thank you John Its nice to see people back at West Delta park flying again. It sure brightens up my commute . As soon as I can get some new line sets(long story) I will have to break out some of my antique kites and stop on by

Did I actually see A commercial on the festival on my local CBS affiliate early this morning(1:00am monday) ? Dan

It's once again time to review the winners of the annual Stella Awards. The Stella's' are named after 81-year old Stella Liebeck who spilled coffee on herself and successfully sued McDonald's. That case inspired the Stella Awards for the most frivolous successful lawsuits in the United States. THIS YEAR'S AWARDS GO TO: 5TH PLACE(TIED): Kathleen Robertson of Austin,Texas, was awarded $780,000 by a jury of her peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was running inside a furniture store. The owners of the store were understandably surprised at the verdict, considering the misbehaving toddler was Ms. Robertson's Son. 5TH PLACE(TIED): A man, 19-year old Carl Truman of Los Angeles, won $74,000 and medical expenses when his neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Mr. Truman apparently did not notice there was someone at the wheel of the car when he was trying to steal the hubcaps. 4TH PLACE: Jerry Williams of Little Rock, Arkansas was awarded $14,500--and medical expenses--after being bitten on the buttocks by his next door neighbor's Beagle dog. The Beagle was on a chain in its owner's fenced yard. The award was less than sought for because the jury felt the dog might have been a little provoked. At the time, Mr. Williams, who had climbed over the fence into the yard, had been shooting it repeatedly with a pellet gun. 3RD PLACE: A Philadelphia restaurant was ordered to pay Amber Carson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, $113,500 after she slipped on a soft drink and broke her coccyx (tailbone). The beverage was on the floor because Ms. Carson had thrown it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier, during an argument. 2ND PLACE: Kara Walton of Claymont, Delaware sued the owner of a Night Club in a neighboring city when she fell from the bathroom window to the floor and knocked out two of her front teeth. This occurred whilst Ms. Walton was trying to sneak in the window of the Ladies Room to avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge. She was awarded $12,000 and dental expenses. 1ST PLACE: This year's runaway winner was Mr. Merv Grazinski of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Mr. Grazinski purchased a brand new Winnebago motorhome. On his trip home from an OU football game, having driven onto the freeway, he set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the driver's seat to go into the back and make himself a cup of coffee. Not surprisingly, the RV left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Mr. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not advising him in the owner's manual that he could not actually do this. The jury awarded him $1,750,000 plus a new Winnebago Motor home. The company actually changed their manuals on the basis of this suit just in case there were any other complete morons buying their recreational vehicles! __________________

Thats right Troy was alongtime flyer here in the northwest . He flew alot out of Delta Park here in Portland along with Mike Sterling (Team Cyborg) Dave Britian and others I remember the first time I saw Dave Britian flying 2 Revs at the same time down at the park I almost drove off the road

FYI having worked in the Beaverton School District for more years than I care to remember the only way I know of to get acess to a school gym is to go through the local school committee of the actual school you would want to fly at . Assuming there is an open night in the gym(after school sports, scouts ,school district meeting,etc ) you might be charged for anything from custodial time to heating and lighting(being an active school parent would really help your cause) I assume this is basically the same procedure at most school districts kitecrazy

for those of us with high defenition cable tv "inHD " is broadcasting the Redbull King Of The Air on: October 5 9:00pm/ 6:00pm October 6 5:00am/ 2:00am October 11 9:00am/ 6:00am kitecrazy

heres something a little different for those windless days on the field http://www.windpowersports.com/kites/voltair/cube.html

Don't know if you could adapt it to quad flying but there was something that was used alot by a group of guys known as "The Gorge Guys " , a "hurricane harness". If memory serves me it basically was a climbers harness ,around both legs and waist with a break away pulley on the front . You flew your kite with your line as one long loop with your handles tied off on each side at the proper length and then looped on to the pulley. This way the pull from either heavy winds or a large stack was all on your hips and not just your arms

of all the Quads I own my Senergy is my favorite for 2 reasons . 1) looks ,being a Senergy Deca 15 its about the coolest looking kite out there IMHO 2) being a 3 demensional kite I have to screw up big time to make "the walk of shame"

anyone here in the NW seen the commercial for a local credit union where the guy goes out and buys a full set of kiteboarding gear , wetsuit, kite etc and the next sene is the kite being launched and then heres this guystrapped into his harness being dragged all over the water

Thats the one , Guess my memory is a little faulty, The OMNI and not the DOUBLE DELTA. Still it was a fun little kite .
