I want the kite more than the buggy. There is sound but there is no wind. Cant wait till I can actually afford one of these kinds of kites. I would want to buy the whole set though. Ahhh almost 10,000. Don't tell my wife please.

it's a kite bike. I built myself one. wind has to be just right to ride it though. :wee:

Will it be at NABX this year I really want to try one. And what do you mean the wind has to be right. I know on flyozone.com one of the riders went like 59.6 mph in one. Starts wobbling from speed though.

Clean, non- gusty wind. You have to lean against the pull of the kite. You really want a park and ride kind of day for it. Turning is what I have a prob with. :wee:

You get better upwind when wearing a long, black cape too!
