Re: Crossing Times

Friggin Riggin. I am for more proficient in CS6 than I am in Excel. Sorry everyone. I wanted to get the results out asap and tried to finish them up last night. I think people are sick of the updates on Facebook. But I will correct it here. So sorry to all those effected. On a side note: there was o...

Re: Crossing Times

Unfortunately there were a few errors with the original post of results, and to make it worse one of them them was between the first and second place snowboard finishers. Both incredible runs, 2 seconds apart. The results above have been updated.

Another great event. Big Thanks go to Mike Turner and Mia, those who contributed snowmobiles, those who volunteered, those who made the journey from far away, those who brought the beer, those who brought the grills, those who brought the fire pit, those who brought chairs and an inflatable couch.

Looking for a room at the crossing?

I've got an extra room at the garrison inn reserved. I've got another option for the two nights. If you want a room let me know and we can just roll the reservation into your name.

Re: Mille Lacs Crossing March 1st-3rd

Just gotta believe. We have had no wind Crossings before. Usually there is an assortment of craziness going on, a fair bit of BSin', and good times all round. Always a good time no matter what mother nature provides us. Mille has a system to it's own. Forecasts are fairly inaccurate for that lake. H...

Re: Another great day on Tonka

thanks

The Rally's have split strut so attaching the camera is a bit tricky. I made my own mount. If you don't have a kite with split strut (struts as part of canopy) you can buy straps that loop around the center strut.

Two Weeks to go

Two weeks before we head out across the big lake. Two weeks till our thighs burn and burn. Two weeks till we chase Corn Boy across the lake once again. Two weeks before the silliness begins.

Looking forward to another Mille Lacs Crossing.

Afternoon winds looking great tomorrow. I'm thinking another great day for Kite Island. Nothing like the expanse of the big lake. Enjoy the wind wherever you end up.

Re: HOOKY MONDAY?!

sorry to hear about your start to your session. always a bummer to have gear issues when the wind is blowing. Great day at the island as well. Most of us were on 8s all day. Snow was great, with just a thin layer of glazing on top of 5-6 inches of snow. Started off with near white out conditions, th...

Re: Gathering at the Island on Saturday

yeah what a great day. So many smiles and people I haven't seen in so long. Never enough time to catch up...specially when the wind is blowing. George is my hero of the day. When I was launching my kite for the first time my chicken loop fell off and my kite took off downwind...heading for the Chili...

Gathering at the Island on Saturday

Saturday looks great for wind...and we have snow! Might be a great time for a gathering at kite island on Minnetonka. This is not an event just a time to gather, ride, and hang out. It sounds like a few others were having similar thoughts. Lets get some grills going,nothing like warm food on the lak...
