After exploding my kitebike 5 years ago, I didn't ride with two wheels...
But, i have rebuilt it during christmas hollydays :wink2:
So last weekend I did ride my new kitebike:wee:
The wind was very gusty here, but it was fun to battle against the wind.
Saturday I was at "Saint Jean de Monts" (Vendée, France), and achieved a max speed of 50.0km/h with my Concept'air Leader 5m²
Sunday I was at Saint Brévin (loire-atlantique, France), and achieved a max speed of 61.4km/h with my Concept'air Leader 4m²:singing:
And here is a little timelapse vidéo I made sunday (I did let the gopro on the ground :wink2: ) : http://www.vimeo.com/19138147
Now I'm waiting a good smoth wind to break records with my 3m² :tumble:
Bye and good winds

nice........Kamikuza - 26-1-2011 at 06:15 AM
Cool! Now I want one of them too BeamerBob - 26-1-2011 at 08:51 AM
That actually looked fun. I figured these would be as hard to get started on as a dirtsurfer, but its no big deal apparently. The leaning would add
another dimension to the ride.WELDNGOD - 27-1-2011 at 12:15 PM
it's harder than ya think BB! You will figure it out, but at first it's weird. Once you are moving a little, piece o cake.BeamerBob - 27-1-2011 at 01:12 PM
I know it would be harder than 3 wheels, but I want to try when I get a chance.tridude - 27-1-2011 at 02:04 PM
does that thing beep when you put it in reverse?:duh::duh:

very awesome talent! It seems the higher the speed the more stable she gets. Seems allot easier to get away from than a 3 wheel bug, in sticky
situations. ex: sudden gust ect..:wee:pbc - 28-1-2011 at 12:13 PM
