Might be over-powered?




I'll leave this to upload overnight.

Went to the park after work tonight; wind was supposed to be 5m/s which I thought would be gravy for the Rebble - turned out to be a bit more! And gusty with it :(
Enough for the Cult 3.5 though so I had a great session working that ... with one gravy parS-P-A-M-L-I-N-K-n'ride run.

Had the GoPro with me so I thought I'd give it a spin. What I have on my HDD is much better quality ATM but we'll see how it goes in the morning.
Edited with Windows 7 Movie Maker - imported the .mp4 no worries :)



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

I was having trouble hanging on to the handles, even at zenith - I've not experienced that before :o it was really hauling. I tried some jumps but the Rebble is NOT a lifty kite ... if I did what I did with the Bullet, even my fat arse would have been flying :O I do have video of my "jumps" but it looked just way too lame :lol:

Also, the little area is erm little. I've got film of my warm-up with the Cult; you'll get an idea of the limited space I got. And flag poles, power lines, trees and stuff downwind. If it was a beach, I'd probably have given it a shot with the Reb ... and it was gusty. Ok I'm wimping out :lol:

The other problem was a lack of gear :D especially protection. My car was in the shop for some maintenance so I had a tiny courtesy car - 2 kites, a land board, spare shoes and a jacket filled the storage in the car.

Nah I just burn them on a regular basis - they're "consumables" like gas, tyres or socks :D

Actually, I was expecting it so was prepared to scud - was just really impressed with the distance I got :D I counted out 8 paces when I packed up and went home :O

Yeah I know :)
I've thought about it a bit and I figure of that for the time being, I'm better off with kites on handles in my little park ... I think :D
