The end...

...of Ozone fixed bridal kites, I did love my Method and Flow, but now prefer my Ozone depowers -

"Hello everyone, we have taken a big decision at Ozone to stop manufacturing the fixed bridle foil kites and accessories. The reason for stopping is that we would like to concentrate our time on depower foils and water kites and to keep driving forward innovation in the kite world.

We will of course continue with our warranty on all products and you will still be able to buy Ozone products for the next few months at your local shop.

We will be keeping the Ignition Trainer kite in the range. We will be stopping the Quattro, the Octane, the Method, the Pure and the Quantum and accessories.

Everybody in the team at Ozone would like to thank all of our customers for all the dedication to our fixed bridle foils over the past 12 years.

Cheers
Team Ozone"

Langford Park - mountainboarding

I tried out some of the mountain-bike trails at Langford Park, it wasn't quite as good as I was hoping - I needed longer and steeper. But I had a good morning...

GoPro wrist mount...

From this...

To this...

I decided to use a Velcro strap we had lying around at home and Using the mounting plate in the GoPro box to make my own GoPro wrist mount.

I started by cutting the plastic mounting plate down and drilling four holes for cable ties...

Some sanding to tidy it up and get rid of any burrs, then threaded the cable ties through.

I used some double sided padded tape to cushion the back and then secured it to the strap with the cable ties...

It can be used with the flat and angled brackets...

The only issue maybe the strap is a bit big for my skinny wrists! Should be able to try it out tomorrow.

Tyre pressures...

I was playing around with the tyre pressures on my mountainboard, went out with them rock solid and after the first couple of runs which felt a bit twitchy, let them down a bit and got a much smoother ride.

The end result was a new top speed of 33.1kph!
