This would be easier to get around with on the freeway than using a car. bigkid - 9-5-2014 at 06:41 AM
You got to watch the video, the best part of it is the little guy at the end, he must be the chase crew.PHREERIDER - 9-5-2014 at 06:52 AM
how does an idea like that get that far? i am trying to image it usefulness...oh wait! now its coming together , it needs WINDSHIELD WIPERS!
its saleability far exceeds its sailibity , prolly dosent matter it is so limited, it sells! the data don't lieerratic winds - 9-5-2014 at 09:21 AM
Loving it. One shot, photoshopped to show the two colors available. He's got his forward foot out of the binding. It looks like a Highschooler's
science project, not a commercially available product....
thank you for making me laugh!Bladerunner - 9-5-2014 at 09:22 AM
High school marketing project ? erratic winds - 9-5-2014 at 09:43 AM
it's SALEability exceeds its SAILability? didn't catch that before that's a fine pun, nice one phreeBladerunner - 9-5-2014 at 09:50 AM
Ha , Ha
looks like we were thinking High School project at exactly the same time ! BEC - 9-5-2014 at 10:57 AM
I randomly had a guy call me a couple years ago, he said he heard from people in town that I fly huge kites and get pulled in a buggy so....I invited
him over to come fly with me in some of our fields...This is what he showed up with....I think the kid was a student here at the state
college....anyway....the thing wouldn't even get out of it's own way, downwind only and best at that.
I launched a kite and away I went and the look on his face when I went across this 1000 acre fiend and then came back was priceless....He gave me one
which I eventually gave to a kid at a garage sale. He just wanted to get pulled across the ice on a sled down wind and then his Dad would pick him up
on a snowmobile....for that I guess it worked great...
He had like 50 of them in his car.....someone lost their shirt and wallet on this idea....LOL.. bigkid - 9-5-2014 at 11:04 AM
I called them and checked it out. Not recommended for any wind over 7mph. The poles are plastic and will collapse.
Might be fun to get one for SOBB and give it ago, kinda like the umbrella thing but better looking. Lolindigo_wolf - 9-5-2014 at 08:47 PM
Never underestimate the human capacity to spend money....

SALEability, SAILability, solubility

I wonder how long that item will be around...?
Give the same kid a big NPW after- flying off bridal -and after trying both , what do you bet- which he prefers..?

Downwind... to infinity and beyond!indigo_wolf - 10-5-2014 at 06:00 AM
No. No. No. "Infinity and beyond requires a jet pack

and the circle is complete...we really have not gotten that far form the jet power thing actually a step backward ...had to supplement with external
power, hmmm
sail! thats obvious here!
if you add external power....hmmm control adds BIG PHUN PHACTOR !
What ever happened to that huge parachute you picked up, Big Kid? Did it turn into an awning or will it be bridled?
I was expecting this thread to be about that, and got a different sort of chuckle.bigkid - 11-5-2014 at 09:01 AM

your right to ask. I was planning on playing with the big one at ibb but things went south real quick and I lost interest in anything to do with kites
for the week of and after the event. Now that I have had a chance to cool off and some things are not in my face, I may renew the big one at sobb or
the week before.
I will bring it out and play with it, more to come about it later.
