I have watched kite-boarders on the CD trail, just a couple miles from the Tog Lodge. We pull off the trail and watch for a while.
Took a couple pics. Looks like fun if I were 40 years younger.
The guy in the video really caught a strong up-slope draft when he got near that wall.

That's some good stuff there! I went to college with Eric, in the same fraternity. We used to call him Super Eck long before he thought he could fly!

Not without wings and an engine

No thanks. Could he even let go if he wanted to? It looked like he was wearing a body harness.

Cool... never met Erik yet, but judging from the vid, he talks just like Randy, lol.

What is this, beat up on 'Wiz week? LOL. I still like to down-hill ski, but take it easy, especially since I had the big elbow disaster in '02.
I'll pass on the wheel chair, thank you very little.
