BKSA Round 3 Ayr

29/09/2010

Ayr is on the west coast approximately 35 miles south west of Glasgow. The set up is amazing for running events with a tide that does not go out that far and a great grass area for the Landboard and Buggy. The forecast was blown away - everyone expected light winds however true to form Scotland delivered the goods.

FRIDAY

Me (Jack Elston) and Ash Garwood set off for an early 8am flight from Stansted to Prestwick, when we landed we was met with blue skies and strong wind. We both headed on what seemed to be a mammoth track to low green where the event was being held but luckily was saved by our buddies Dan and Darren who were heading to the event themselves. Once there we met up with our fellow Trampa rider Steve smith who had been riding all day on his 14m totally lit. After a quick sort out we both joined him on the field shortly after there was a huge crowd gathered watching all three of us boosting 15 foot+ pushing each other in prep for tomorrows comp. After sun set we was all aching and couldn’t wait to chill and reflect on what had already been the best session of our lives.

SATURDAY

Yet again an early start 8am for breakfast then to the field for a prompt 9am registration. Once registered me and ash where raring to go with us knowing that there was 20mph+ onshore winds in our favor for the comp we both pumped up our kites of choice mine being the Ozone sport+ 11m and ashes being the Ozone 11m C4. We all was at our best and was really pushing it with our individual styles but at the end of the day I took 1st place and Ash 3^rd with Steve smith coming in at 2^nd. Once we were all packed up we headed back to cactus jacks where everyone had a good chance to reflect on what had been a very successful day and see who could stay on the longest on the bucking bronco.

SUNDAY

Another early start and as you can with everyone having a sore head a very slow one too, we arrived back on the green at 9am ready for and all day expression session which was great fun and gave us a chance to chill and ride together on the amazing spot. After riding all day we had the prize giving which lead onto an amazing BBQ at holly kendys house, WOW is all I can say lol. I and ash aching and bruised from an epic weekend hitched a lift to the airport where we flew home with medals and massive gins on our faces.
