Power Kite Forum

New video from the Club

flyboy15 - 11-12-2009 at 05:26 PM

Hey everyone, one of our members constructed some clips and posted it on our site, so I thought Id share here too. It has mostly ATB and static footage, with a little snowkiting at the end.

Not a bad turn out that day, couple of officers (JohnV in the green hoodie boarding, myself flyboy in the white shirt), couple of riders (slowroll static jumping and in the snow), good time overall!

Congratulations on your skills - looks like you've put in some good amount of time to develop them. I'd like to apologize again for the misunderstanding between kiowa and myself - looks like you got a solid bunch of people and some really nice real estate. Hope some good winds find their way to you.

And that's a really well put together video you posted.

DUDE!!! Rockin' video!!! Looks like a great time to hang out with a buncha friends and do some flyin'. It's awesome to be able to push each other to the limit. Love the 360 tail grabs :D

Hey flexi no worries about things with kiowa, I would have done the same if somebody random posted too. I told him EVERYTHING that jones does to try to get people confused and he understood immediately. I was glad i could vouch for him too.

The funny thing is I think he could have chosen a better first time topic lol. O well

Thanks for the vid compliments everyone, Ill pass it onto the editor :)

Great vid...you guys got some skillz!

I heard N.D. is pretty wind, curious to know the average wind speeds and how often it is windy...

redtailin - 12-12-2009 at 11:39 AM

when you arent kiting, it feels like its blowing at least 20mph constantly......right now it has been dead though, haha. Like 3 weeks with no wind.

I would guess the average wind in the summer is like 15ish, from the south, with winter being more like 20ish from the northwest.

want to back me up on the Matt? haha

haha np ben. He pretty much hit it on the nail. ND has some nice land winds due to the few obstructions.........

........However today was the first day of nice wind we've had in a while, and unfortunately our only covered field was right on the south side of town (winds from the northwestish). Talk about choppy. My back hurts from get yanked by mother nature...........

.........BUT if you are on any field besides the ones south of town haha, the winds are awwesommeeee!!! They blow clean and constant. Ben got the speeds about right. Winds are smoother in the winter too than the summer due to lack of thermals we think.

Come join us some time :)

Looked like fun times. Nice riding. I was impressed with the Ranger.

flyboy15 - 12-12-2009 at 05:21 PM

Lunch: Yea anytime! We can't wait until our bigger fields are open. That field we were on is a few football fields in size. When the snow gets a little deeper, we move to the farm fields, and those are milessss open :)

B-Roc: Thanks! the ranger, after a tweak or two, becomes an awesome kite. I'm very satisfied with its preformance :thumbup:
