I think that's a 2010 switchblade... I sold one just like it.

i think he was talking about the vegas on the ground next to it.

wow that tree did blossom in a new type of flower species...I think it usually blossoms "Sigma" flowers..

How about adding a sculpture on that corner... perhaps a 50' high barb-wire catchers mitt, that would look good!

If we could sell the idea to the Giants as the WAY OUT-FIELDER (like catching HOME RUNNS from S.F.. maybe we could even get it paid for......

Anyway- this is 2011, that tree is still standing, kiteboarding is still alive and well and everyone walked away to play another day.... Not to bad!

treekite is definitely NOT a new species. There are also close cousins of treekite. more frequent spottings of bushkite can be found at sherman island and nearly daily sightings of rockkite can be experienced at 3rd ave.

Friday evening at 3rd I saw a flock of looseKites migrating south.

Haha, were they sining in flying-V formation?

If it were a slingshot the tree would be leveled! Timo is that you!?!
