Two days ago out at Ivanpah I managed what has eluded me for many months now, the 50 m.p.h benchmark. Because of the Northerly winds I had to cut it
short and after the ride I discovered my wheels were only at 40 p.s.i. instead of 80 p.s.i. Had it been higher p.s.i and a more favorable wind
direction , I am sure I could've of made it higher, but I am happy nevertheless.
As far as I know, it's the fastest landboard speed with any kind of wind driven engine, but I could be wrong and feel free to correct me.

Whow K2B,,,that is impressive! Way to go! I'm going to Nabx...got any kitewings to demo 
.
Of course, your record is safe with me...I think if I got up to 20mph, I'd be carving up wind to drop my speed!

Lunchbox, I ll have demo wings at NABX. 20 mph on a MTB would scare me too! However, the dirtsurfer is barely kicking up a sweat at that speed. For
me, anything below 20 mph isn't that much fun unless I am jumping. Remember, on the DS, the faster you go the more stable it becomes. I'll have
dirtsurfers for demo at NABX also so you can give it a go if you"re so inclined

There was a thread sometime back on the fastest ATB speeds on the flexi forum. 50 was the benchmark they were aiming for. I think, but could be
wrong, that someone got over 52.
Either way, your accomplishment is great. way to go!!
That's fast

Awesome, that's moving no matter what you're on, on 2 wheels though it's way more impressive.
Looking forward to trying one of these beasts out at NABX.
Out of curiosity, what is the limiting factor on these things, I know with the land boards they seem to start getting sketchy at high speeds, The
dirtsurfer should be way more solid.

Was that on a Dirtsurfer strictlycarved?
My top on the Dirtsurfer is only 30 mph on a grass field and it felt really fast 
I'm still stuck at 49.9 mph on skis...
