I think the Environmental Safety and Health side of me threw up a little viewing that video :lol:

my dad and his friends use to that with water skis behind a ski boat. I found the plans for the kite once its a wonder any of them survived?

I like how close his tow line seemed to come to the people on the sides. And how about the power lines.
Todd I had a simular reaction!

its like a manta ray, but not in water.

He does get a bit squirly a couple times. I think he needs more tail!

Todd - 22-2-2010 at 09:40 AM

As he was zipping by the spectators I just knew he was going to snag some girls bee hive hair do :lol:

But you guys are missing the REAL star here....look at those old skool roller skates! I think I'm gonna see if I can get some and retrofit some Coyote wheels.......4x4 Coyotes!

PHREERIDER - 22-2-2010 at 10:40 AM

did he have control ?? or just hope it doesn't loop out at 30mph.

his feet dangling like big counter weights making it squirrel around.

THE PEOPLE ! imagine it whips over ...what a rope burn on somebodies neck as he eats it through a pre safety glass rear window.

grateful for the advancement, hope no one got maned

He bites it right near the end- the camera cuts away really quick though.

Drewculous - 22-2-2010 at 11:33 AM

this actually looks like the same "kite surfer kites" that were posted up a while back... at least they were over water, and not pavement

pigryder - 22-2-2010 at 01:10 PM

classic right there man :crazy:

Hardrock - 22-2-2010 at 02:58 PM

I'd been game for that back around 1981. I got bills now.

Drewculous - 23-2-2010 at 11:14 AM

ok this is drivin me nuts!!! A while back someone posted up a video of like "early kite surfing"

it was like 1950s? And it started by introducing all the riders and where they were from.... i think it was all taking place in Florida... but man i cannot find it... anyway, the "surf kites" they were flying looked just like this one... hmmmm... cool vid at any rate

Todd - 23-2-2010 at 11:54 AM

I remember that one, I'll look as well.

Drewculous - 23-2-2010 at 12:09 PM

todd i looked all over... i prolly passed right over the thread but just missed it... it was a cool mini documentary on early kites tho
