New Kite Sport


Drift Trike Kiting



This is also a cool video - uses drift trike for the first 10 seconds or so. Found on ExtremeKites.au



I always thought having pedals would be an advantage because sometimes you just need a push to get going or to keep moving.....I think steering one handed would be the biggest problem, though lots of guys do ride buggy more or less one handed with a harness. The guy in the second video does seem to be able to steer with his feet - but I don't know if he still has the pedals.

I always liked Bob's videos. Guy has great board skills and all the wind toys. From memory, he use to film a lot of the kite landboad stuff during his lunch break.

It looks to me like he can "coast" like a bicycle.
I watched it done with a bicycle and one hand, unwieldy but doable. :thumbup:
