Well me n Trancein1 meet up at the Ned Brown Woods every now and then, atleast when its windy.
The place is half a mile east of Woodfield Mall, on golf road. Hit me up if you're ever interested in meeting up.

Like i said hit me up, according to Chicagokitejump most of the beaches have cops that give you a hard time. I usually do this stuff in the suburbs,
but i dont have an atb yet.

i just bought a used landboard and it arrived today, so i'm also interested in meeting up.
i've been going to montrose beach, haven't had any problems with cops, not very busy since its been cold.
also there are soccer fields near by, but on the weekends the fields are packed
open to meeting near Woodfield Mall as well

Trancein1's Hookah bar too...

We want to, and we are in Bloomington. Still watching the wind for toMorrow, I guess it depends on what it does. It doesn't look good though. The wind
in the city says only 5-10 for tomorrow

Updating this thread:
Hey I also like Ned Brown woods because they have huge open patch away from trees, I like the area by the air field. what about you guys?
I used to use a school football field in Bensenville, Behr Field i think? Then they put up a fence lol think they got sick of me kiting during their
football practice.
Waiting til the weather gets a little warmer to go ATB at ned Brown. :wee:

Hi , today May 1 , 2010 Ned Brown woods , i was kitelandboarding with 15 -20 mph , really good !!
this location is perfect .
the only problem to go upwind , is a litle hard because the grass ... we need +13/15mph
i belive this location would be perfect for a big ft Buggy too because there are 2 fields together , and the second field is huge !
Contact with Jolt if you want to come here
Do you know more locations for ATB around Chicago ?
Where is that field in Bensenville ?
