Kite buggy roller coaster!

Found some old footage from last February. The first minute is kinda slow as it's an upwind drag out to the point. When I'm riding the banks; it even sounds like a coaster! Let me know what you think.



Kite was a 2.4m Sting. It was pretty windy that day but I don't remember how windy.

Sweet! Great sound effects. Going 3-d in a buggy is a ton of fun. I've got a sports complex in town I ride at sometimes that has a soccer field next to a baseball diamond. The two are quite a bit different in altitude and when the wind is blowing in the right direction I can cross the soccer field diagonally, shoot down a steep grass hill and fly out onto the outfield of the baseball field. Coming back up is even more fun!

Nice set up for you. Funny, no pedestrians that day. Go figure.

Cool vid. I like how that goose by the water looked surprised as you zoomed by it.

Looks like a great place to ride
I like the way that robust kite stakes are provided at the parking lot for use by the kiting public.

Regard! You have some brass cahones!!!... I was freaking out with how close you were to the water!... looks like a fun and interesting spot to ride but man that was some wind!... I see why you ride such stable kites like the Sting!

Wow man, great video. You scared me when you got that close the water. Looks like a sweet run. Great location.

I would ride like that. All I need is the location, and the equipment, and the skill, and the courage, and the experience, other than those few details I'm good to go. :thumbup:
