6.8m in 30mph wind


This will make you laugh. The best bit towards the end.

I'm not sure I've seen anything that made kites look as fun as when you were being dragged around on the ground. Thanks so much for posting this!

Considering how the video started off; the ending was totally unexpected and sort of anticlimactic at the same time. My favorite part was when he went warp speed at the start. At least he had kite killers on and knew how to use them. That's a nice looking field too.

I love the way the guy decides to go one more time after getting dragged around the ground and wrecking his buggy. This guy doesn't know when to quit. I think this video is a "don't try this at home" type deal.

I'm sorry but I kept envisioning my accident recently and was just waiting for the kite to lift him too high... i was honestly cringing the whole time... looked like a 6.8m PL Viper S to me... a LOT of kite in 30mph wind IMHO.

A little irresponsible if you ask me.

A 5m would've been too much kite for that wind. I was in survival mode till he rolled away in the buggy. Then it was. Oh no, you'll never get stopped!

Now, I can drop an f-bomb as well as anyone, and I don't consider myself easily offended, but... here's where old age gets the best of me:
Quite frankly, without the audio, all I could think of was "what an idiot - I hope he doesn't wreck himself". With the audio on, I started checking the treeline for a trailer park.
Maybe it's my Canadian-ness, maybe it's good manners, maybe I just can't stand racial slurs. But any way I slice it, I'm offended by the language he used and an apology on the YouTube post doesn't make it OK.

End rant.



Go ahead... tell me to "go fly a kite!" Please!

I didn't listen to it, the sound doesn't work on my phone. I guess there are some advantages to a broken phone.
