Hey,

Had a great session earlier today and got some decent video. I need to change the camera angle so I can get more kite shots.

Nothing too extreme though. Just me with my NPW and my new mountain board cruisin down a back road. Worked pretty good, one way was pretty upwindish... the other direction was nice and speedy... for me anyway.

There is a couple times where I crash because of some gusts... not sure how I could handle them better??? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Enjoy!

Anyone know how to embed vimeo videos on here?

Sweet! :thumbup: Nice spot :)

nice , exact same way i started with NPW . put a strop line on it ! larks heads on to the handles so they can be slid around for nice balanced position , gotta be ready to grip and unhook! its a nice way to transition into harnessed riding. gives the arms/grip a little rest.

way to go!

:thumbup: great job, and video. That's kind of what made me give up the mtn board, getting pulled over the front. I'm quite a bit older than you, though, and have to worry more about that "I've fallen and can't get up!" thing. :lol:

Super Dave rides again! :cool:

Your only hope with those gusts is to bend your knees much more , get your gravity real low and slide the power off. Hard to do with just the road .

Very nice :D My kind of boarding, nice distance and good speed without fancy tricks.
