There we go .page 5 .Now it really is time that this returned to topic now that RSC has had the last word
"You have written above: "Blame the 'young lady dressed as an instructor', ...".
They are not my words."
check your second post on page 2.
..... will you need to have the last word???
The facts rsc are PAINFULLY obvious for all but yourself to see it seems. For someone who is new to the sport, you have exploded onto the scene like a bull in a china shop presuming to know more than the multitude of people here who undoubtedly have far more experience than your good self.
Would you walk into a new job as a junior and barge into a management meeting and proceed to tell all and sundry how it is? I think not. Perhaps a wiser course of action would be to tread softly, observe, and be prepared to accept that it will take time for you to gain respect amongst your peers. You would also be well served to take constructive criticism (and there has been plenty of that too before you so utterly alienated yourself) on board.
Perhaps we could all chip in for that mirror....
Must be sheeple shearing season or sumpin?
Sheeple baggin the cr@pper out of one dude and no mention of the many VERY experianced nongs that really are the problem with this kiting area.
No it's much better to play a slagging game online.
Shame children.. no kiting for you this week. Straight to your windless room (well if you are in Perf it is - note the elevated anxiety levels).
BTW Stevo - I wouldn't read as much into the numbers game - 50% of SB is just here for the pizztake.
Having said that I do agree that rsc needs to take a deep breath - but I'm not gonna rub myself in baby oil cause i gave him a ro-shambo internerd style.
Soooo.. who wants to sort some better/safer kiting practices in the area.
Nah - just keep slingin sh!t - it's the preferred option.
EDIT: Feel free to direct the sheeple sh!t sling at me folks - I'm off to get a pizza and chill by the river not read any more of this bollocks.

Here Here Sebol,
When I was travelling, always thought Australia was carefree, now with all the americanism its gone to yankee land.
Oh bye the way, rsc you're got problems - there was a guy on Kiteforum about a year ago that could not let go and kept on making an ass of himself on the forum, think about it.

RSC...Russel, you may be a legal expert, but as any beginner in any sport you are oblivious to mistakes,
whether technical (setting up your kite), motor skill aquisition,
or social norms in any culture. A wise man is always learning, and a fool is always right, many time when pointing a finger in blame, 3 fingers point back.
( a plethora of famous quotes from many famous people).
Am I speaking in your language?
rsc, i was bettin' you couldn't resist....
and hell, after all your relentless determination, i'll give you 60% ol' mate... just keep an eye out for those femme fetales next time you launch
Well folks, I'm flabbergasted. I had a squiz at this thread when it was half a page long and now I return to find this train wreck. This is the most bizarre seabreeze thread I've read in my three years of frequenting this site.
RSC, you say your technique has improved 101% since the event. This may be so but unless you're superhuman, you'll still take many more beatings in this sport. Whatever level you're at, there's always more to learn and more to stuff up, and unless you have some humility then the forces of nature will hand your ass to you on a plate more rather than less forcefully.
Hubris and defensiveness cut very little mustard on this forum, and even less when dealing with wind and waves. Whoever was right or wrong, whatever liability issues you perceive, if you're going to persist in this sport you'll need to work with, not against the forces around you, be they social or physical.
In AA they say you have to hit bottom before you can truly realise that puffed up pride is futile and that only a power greater than yourself can save you. They also say that for some folk, hitting bottom is on the other side of death. In this case perhaps the power greater than yourself may be the collective experience of a community of kiters who have been kiting and nutting out these issues for a long long time?
Train wrecks are probably more humane than this waste of net space.
Boy peeps are senstitive to the 'sheeple' term (and eagerly stand in line to hit the red thumbs )
Game over. Reboot..
Time to
