newwheels
Finally made some Doomwheels. I am getting tired of getting kicked out of empty parking lots using rollerblades and 2 meter foil (liability reasons I
was told).I know everthing depends on the wind but do you think a 10 meter kite would generally be too much for these wheels.

I guess it depends on what kind of 10 meter kite you're talking about... tube (surf kite) or quadline foil. If it's a foil, 10 meter is too
large for anything but a 5 mph breeze. Tube kites have less pull and 10m would be a good size (although quad foils are typically better for skating -
more controllability and less straight overhead lift).
Great job on your kite skates. Welcome to the wild side!
