OK things are looking pretty spectacular. The local news just put us in the 4-5" band by noon tomorrow with a nice solid breeze. I posted the details of the gathering on our local forum.

The current conditions in Madtown: We had 2 inches of pretty heavy stuff the other day and today it got up to 40 today so it should be a nice smooth firm base layer. We are supposed to get around 3+ inches tonight/tomorrow and maybe a little more Friday night. If it doesn't drift too much it should ...

The Madison area riders would like to invite you to come hang out and ride with the our crew Feb 21 or 22. We will post the riding area and after riding hang out location a few days in advance depending on conditions. If the conditions aren't good in Madison and look good elsewhere, we might travel ...

Hi guys, I've flown a few different small kites in various high wind conditions and I will say the 8m Switch blade 2 or 3 from Cabrinha is my fav. It has tons of depower and steers well when sheeted out. I had problems with small TD's both with lack of steering when sheeted out and with inverting wi...

I'm glad you guys had a great time. Thanks for making the trek and sharing the stoke. Sorry we don't have any terrain. We will have to work that out this summer. I probably missed the best winds but I still had a great time. Not to brag but we are supposed ot get another 2-6 inches tonight and there...

money!

I am very honored that you guys gave me prize. I was only riding for 2 hours and Ididn't even know there was a competition going on! The SB3 is just a super stable all around kite. I like it for wakestyle because I know where it is at all times. It is not wild like some of the freestyle kites. Its f...

I drove from Madison up to this event and it was so very worth it. Thank you putting all of the effort into making it happen. This was a great format and I had a ton of fun. I wish I would of had a chance to hang out but I had the wife, borther, kid, etc with me so there was only so much I could sub...

What's up Denis, I plan on coming up from Madison with my brother and our wives. Only for Saturday though. Another Madison rider Victor said he's going as well.

See ya in the funny pages

Thanks guys, most likely Waconia late in the day.

Cheers

I'm coming up from Madison for a conference in Minneapolis through Wed and I was hoping to get a little ride in one of these evenings. It looks like Sunday calls for a south breeze. What's the best place to go within an hour of downtown? thanks

Hi Denis, Good to hear you made it back. Too bad the compettion wind blew, eh I mean didn't blow. Its funny but I didn't hear anything about the competition results. Looked yesterday and couldn't find it anywhere. Went back to Sable after the first round and scored another 12 m sesson before heading...

I tried the crossbow in Madison unhooked and I had no problems doing wake tricks with the standard setup. The only thing I didn't like was the bar pressure. I reverse relaunched the bloody thing straight through the power and pushed the bar away.... barely any pull, amazing. In fact if you rigged a ...

I live in madison feel free to give me an e-mail (karl.bzdusek@philips.com). Everything is open now but the water is colder on Mendota. Monona is warmer (I'd guess 45-50) since its been open for at least a week. Here are the launches we use for various directions: The 2 best spots just because they ...

In case anybody is going to be in Wisconsin two weekends from now. Time to let the cat out of the bag and let you all know the ice is super thick and mother nature is dropping snow like crazy right now in Madison, Wi. Come and ride the slopestyle course. It's going to be huge... Come and race your b...

Its too bad you had to schedule it during kites on ice. I assume most of the guys around here that were planning on going will probably stay in Wisconsin. I had a blast last year and hate to miss it. Oh well, maybe next year. Karl

I want to thank everyone who made the event happen. I had a great time and it was totally worth the 4+ drive from the Mad town. Will be back next year for sure and hopefully I can bring a few more cats with me. The water should be opeing up here in a few weeks so if anyone comes around Madison and w...
