I noticed we have quite a few new peeps here . I figured I would show them how the crazier half roll. Here is one of my "Roll models" https://vimeo.com/34519948 And Andrew Jones who holds the speed record on kite bike. https://vimeo.com/27885155

Wow, that first video grabbed me in a way a buggy video never has!
Is there a reason kite bikes aren't more common? I'd guess there might be less stability, but I wouldn't think it would be much of a problem.

It is the hardest thing I have ever tried to ride/drive. And I have been on everything from horses to roller skates.Leaning against the pull of the
kite makes it incredibly difficult to turn/steer. It's kind of like a motorcycle, but not. Really weird. Here is the vid of the first time I ever rode
my KYTBYK. https://vimeo.com/15343914

Very cool! Def looks like an accuired talent
I think it would be next
to impossible to pull that off in our gusty inland craptastic winds.
