Just ordered my first land board!

I have been flying for a bit now and am finally getting a land board. I was wondering if you guys had any tips for a noobie to land boarding? Also if you in Southern Oregon want to fly some time?

Don't be afraid to get drug around the ground. some people are scared of falling that they try to ease into it too slowely, and they give up to easily because of fear. Don't expect to be riding in like 7-9mph.

Try and get a day that is 12-15mph wind. the more wind there is, the easier it is to get moving. Be careful, pad up and wear your helmet. those first few rides will make you an addict! :)

Scott "flyguy" will not steer you wrong, Donny "weldngod" is a lovable nutcase, but I guess you can listen to him too!!:crazy:

Have to agree with flyjump- make sure you have enough wind to get it going. Light win is very frustrating to get it all figured out much easier with winds 12+ and if on grass add a couple more mph otherwise you are fighting to much. Good luck and as WG said dont be afraid to fall/crash- with enough sail above you the landings are not that painful.:spin:
