K so I have d'mans 17m Bomba on the way and after seeing wht aparently happens in my dreams at nite......well alot of good ideas come out of dreams!!!! :P Just wondering if it would work on the standard set up? Just with me hooked in backwards so I am facing the cells.

NOTE: I am not trying to paraglide I am just wondering if I could slope soar at like sand dunes national monument by a dune so I get some good compression but if I got carried away from the dune I would lose lift and float down.

nope!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..........aj

Don't even try. People experiment with obviously dangerous scenrios like such, and land owners will learn to ban kiters.

Yeah I guess, I would prob chicken out at the last minute. Wonder if it would work, or would I die? Don't really want to find out tho. :P Is that kite even lifty enough?

bad idea for sure.
We used to jump of the sand "cliffs" at Kitty Hawk and land at the bottom in knee deep sand. Fun to do but nothing like a hang glider/paraglider which is what you need to slope soar.

get a Speed if you wanna dune-glide. those kites double as mini gliders.

we don't endorse the activity, but it does kinda look like fun.

there's a dude on youtube who uses a Speed 17m to do it.

I also jumped off the dunes at Kity Hawk as a child. Very fun to run along the top and then jump off the edge, to fall what seemed like 20-25 feet. I wouldn't want to fall 50 feet though.

Those are some very nice dunes I went there for the Rogello kite fest this past year
