You got to watch the video, the best part of it is the little guy at the end, he must be the chase crew.

Loving it. One shot, photoshopped to show the two colors available. He's got his forward foot out of the binding. It looks like a Highschooler's science project, not a commercially available product....

thank you for making me laugh!

I randomly had a guy call me a couple years ago, he said he heard from people in town that I fly huge kites and get pulled in a buggy so....I invited him over to come fly with me in some of our fields...This is what he showed up with....I think the kid was a student here at the state college....anyway....the thing wouldn't even get out of it's own way, downwind only and best at that.
I launched a kite and away I went and the look on his face when I went across this 1000 acre fiend and then came back was priceless....He gave me one which I eventually gave to a kid at a garage sale. He just wanted to get pulled across the ice on a sled down wind and then his Dad would pick him up on a snowmobile....for that I guess it worked great...
He had like 50 of them in his car.....someone lost their shirt and wallet on this idea....LOL..

I called them and checked it out. Not recommended for any wind over 7mph. The poles are plastic and will collapse.
Might be fun to get one for SOBB and give it ago, kinda like the umbrella thing but better looking. Lol

What ever happened to that huge parachute you picked up, Big Kid? Did it turn into an awning or will it be bridled?
I was expecting this thread to be about that, and got a different sort of chuckle.

your right to ask. I was planning on playing with the big one at ibb but things went south real quick and I lost interest in anything to do with kites for the week of and after the event. Now that I have had a chance to cool off and some things are not in my face, I may renew the big one at sobb or the week before.
I will bring it out and play with it, more to come about it later.:rolleyes:
