Salt trucks and Vermont Pancake Syrup!






Nasty, nasty , nasty. I don't know why the east coaster use so much salt on the roads? Does sand just not do the trick? Or is it because the auto makers and the car washes have a in with the state to dirty up all the cars!! So they can make more money!!? Out of there syrupy slick roads!!

Ah any way, I am glad Killington Vermont is getting snow and also very thankful that we have such good shops representing OZONE! The folks at Base Camp OutFitters just know how to produce stoke for the sport of snow kiting. With there shop at the base of the Killington Ski Resort. Also teaching on a private pond in there back yard!! They wore out there last Projectcloud9 DVD.

If the wind doesn't blow?:( You can go cross country skiing or gravity riding at the Resort anyday! I also respect that they are FREE HEELERS! The ultimate back country tool. telemark skis with skins and claps able poles add a kite = The Ultimate Back Country SNOW KITER!!

Mad Max "Georgie Fuso"









So after the whole swap shop, from selling "Clark" to buying the new " Georgie Fuso!!" I had a great holidays with the family. Not with out any stress though! I needed to figure out, what turtle shell I was going to live in!

Also "How do I mount my turtle shell to my crazy new truck?". After figuring out what camper I was going to buy on KSL.com. I went to Heber, Utah to pick up the camper and build my Mad Max Machine!!

It took a little ingenuity. But after a lot of measuring and drawing. I came up with a plan and successfully mounted the camper on the back of my, pick me up truck!

I did good I think?! The cab still folds over to access the engine and it also clears the head ache rack. How about the height? Little Georgie sits at a exactly 12'. A whole 1.5 feet shorter than regular semis (13' 6"). I did good I think?!

All of this metamorphoses happened in less than 2 weeks. Wow! Camper on the truck Sunday and Monday I left for Up state New York for the Tugg Hill Kite Event!

Three days of straight driving 50- 60mph. And about 12-14 hrs each day! I made it on time!! By that Friday I was Kiting on farm fields near Lowville, New York!! Only thing that sucks is that I didn't get to kite on the way there! Almost every rest stop from Utah to New York was Snow Kiteable!

More shots to come!

peace
