Two Flies

Date: 5/27/09 (30th day in a row)
Place: Cosmo Park, Columbia, MO
Kites: 3d on 12'
Wind: 0 - 3 mph, NW
Weather: Cloudy, 68º

Today, part 1, was with very little wind with the 3d kite while Annett did an exercise walk in the park. I did the usual with the 3d: loops, axels, 360s. The grass was very wet, as was the kite at the end of the fly.

Today, part 2, was done on impulse around supper time. The day had cleared off and the wind was stronger, though not as strong as I thought it would be. Though the grass was now dry, it had been mowed and my socks and Crocs got covered and filled with grass.

I mostly practiced fades, flic-flacs, and backspins. One time when I popped the 1/2-axel at the start of a cascade try, the kite popped upwards (sideways) substantially. With the right timing this kind of mothion could really help a rising cascade - I'll have to work on that.
