i am always thinking up different ways to be mobile with a kite so hear goes saw some kids out with those shoes that have a wheel in the heal so the can walk or skat and that got me thinking I have a pair of dirtbike boots gathering dust and i wonder if you couldnt build a bracket that you could put the boot in that put the wheel on the outside of the foot just slightly up on the heal using a moutainboard wheel and then you would be able to get around some what on your feet then when you were redy to roll just put your weight on your heels and your off

Thoughts:smilegrin:

Sounds very unstable. The minute you got any kind of speed you'd end up with road rash on your chin. I've tried just plain old roller blades in the past, & that was scary with just a 3m kite beyond 5mph, what you're suggesting sound even more frightening... to me at least, but hey, with enough padding, anything can be attempted at least once, right?
