Same as land kites on water. No problem until they crash :smug:
Blimps are very common on the snow. A little less so for buggy and kgb but stiil somewhat popular. The new bow kites are well suited to land.

There's a lot of pro guys riding on land with LEI's, good pop and float. Problem is in the learning curve when you're driving the kite into the ground
they don't do so hot, The LEI's also aren't that great in the unstable gusty inland winds.
If you have them though and are good at handling them, may as well use them.

Had a LEI and knowing the cost of the bladders I wasn't willing to tempt fate. One crash on dirt and you're out $90 or more. They're good on snow like
snowbird stated, but other then that..not worth it. Foils for land, LEI's for water. If you want a kite inbetween that can do both, then there are
the flysurfers and PL's that are options.
