stupid screaming or nuclear screaming

for stupid the p15 fits the bill but its stupid crazy

for nuclear the p15 fits the bill but it transcends all know logic in the extreme of sense of stupid crazy.

i would probably wear a helmet if it really started blowin though at least til i got use to it. tires and tubes! thats what i would be concerned with for sure, because they are going to get smoked

I reckon my 10m Vortex would be bloody awesome as a land board machine even in good wind ... what's wrong with your Twister? Too much grunt?

Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...

i've boarded on some pretty hard sand... and much more than 10mph winds with the twister, and all im doing is sliding downwind... if i roll into nabx with a 5.6m and a 15m... and the only wind to be had is 30mph.... i'm as good as skunked... i move to the grass when the wind picks up, but that isnt an option at nabx... plus this is a good personal excuse for another kite lol :smilegrin:
