For Sale...

I have decided to sell my MBS Comp 90 to fund the purchase of a drone/Quadcoptor. Its listed on Extreme Kites, eBay, and gumtree.

Should it stay or should it go...

I'm considering selling my MBS Comp 90 so that I can buy one of these...

A Walkera QR X350 pro quadcopter - love my filming and reckon this would add a really cool dimension. And its cheaper than a DJI Phantom!

Smashed it...

New top speed on my mountainboard this morning 38.5km/h...

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...

This is pretty cool...

max speed...

New top speed downhill on the mountainboard...

I'm getting a bit faster every time I ride!

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!

Video - Gone to the dogs...

Some more mountainboard free-riding. This time filmed by my 11 year old daughter...

Heel straps - part II...

My new MBS heel straps arrived today and are now installed...

Looking forwards to trying them out!

Heel straps...

Just bought some MBS heel for my MBS comp 90, as I like to ride downhill strapped in...

Bought form Munro boards as I had some reward points I could use.

Winter...

The 1st of July and the first day of winter, only three months until spring!

The wind forecast for the week is pretty rubbish, looks like more free-ride mountainboarding and the kites staying in the garage (I guess it can always change)...

Video - Langford MTB Park

Started to explore some of the trails at Langford MTB Park in Jarrahdale, on the mountainboard, until I had to give up because of the rain...

Hopefully we will get a break in the rain and I can get to the salt lake with the kites and buggy.

Raining...

I'm sat in my car at Langford Park, all padded up, waiting for the rain to clear...

I did manage a couple of small runs on the board before it really started to come down!

Exploration...

I may go out and explore some other places to mountainboard, I am thinking of taking a trip to Langford Park which is near Jarrahdale to explore some of the mountain-bike trails and see if they are  any good for boarding...

Hill...

No wind at all, so thought I would exersice my legs and play on a hill...

Coming down is always much easier!

For buggy's sake...

No video cameras, just a couple of kites and a buggy - it's all about me today...

And avoiding the showers!

Nicked..?

Whats missing?

My Garmin etrex! I have had the buggy, kites, board, helmet, pads and harness stored in my car for the last few days  - just in case!

Unloaded it all today and there was no etrex! I did leave the car unlocked for an hour or so at the shops the other day so presume it went then, lucky everything else was there.

Video - buggy blast

Easter Monday at the salt lake, playing in the buggy and with the board...

Chose a part of the lake with a softer surface to board, which was good as I did end up on the floor a few times and ended up bruising my backside!
