Last days of the competition. (Thailand Hua Hin)
2010-03-20
We have now had a few days without wind. Well enough wind for the racers to battle and they have been doing allot of races. All the freestylers have been sitting around and waiting for the wind to pick up but not enough for freestyle.
All the riders were also invited to a privet house
party. When i saw the house i did not believe it, it was like you see in all
the movies big house big pool with a massive gym and of course a cinema. And
the house was huge think you could fit like 400 people there without problem: D
Very nice of the owner to invite all of us thank you!
So the days have been running bye and it’s the
last day of the competition and the wind is still not too good. But of course
like always when there is a little bit of wind last day and if they have the slightest
chance to finish the competition in the worst conditions ever they will run it
and they do not give a dam if it is unfair to allot of the riders. For example
the riders that are about 80 kg most likely can’t go upwind with a 14m kite.
And of course the guy who is about 65-70 kilos can still go on a 12m kite and
stay upwind. Tell me if I’m wrong. So how much chance does the rider have against
the light rider? Let me tell you zero! And the one responsible to see if the
wind is suitable are the race director he is the man with the power to start
and finish the competition whenever he thinks it’s good or not good. Obviously
in this crap conditions there are going to be complains. And the good explanation
the riders get is maybe you need to trim your kite better. Or take a bigger
size. And of course also starting to say that all the judges are agreeing it is
suitable. I can’t believe he could not take the responsibility himself he has
been working for the tour for like 7 or 8 years or even more I’m not sure. So
anyways you get screwed this way and he doesn’t give a dam. I guess it’s too
bad for some riders, thy are just too heavy! It’s so sad you spend over
thousands of euros to go to the events.
So the wind isn’t good but we still have to go
out and of course you try your best and its possible to pull off some tricks witch
are like 1m high :D Anyways i will go into my heat I did about 8-10 tricks i
think and was not happy with any of them. I had to send the kite to 12 every
jump and also felt like i didn’t pop at all was just using the force of the
kite more less to get up in the air. I ended up losing the heat against Roberto
Rondina.
Other than that the comp the rest was very
good organized. I was surprised how good it was; also for being the first time
he ever held an event it was good and professional.
So tomorrow i will head off to Australia Perth
again!
