So, waiting for the snow and looking through a window seeing that the trees move in the wind. I got an idea that my kite at home surrely can be put to more fun than just flying it around

So the board is done. Trunks were widen and moved forward. Still looking for some decent wheels. Have in mind that landboarding or even any kiting sports aint that popular here for some unknown reasons...




Now its time to get a decent de-power kite And start flying some new beasts

Are you in the Serbia or Croatia area? The board looks pretty good for a home brew.

It also looks like you do a lot of board slides

The wheels look like they might be a problem. They might be okay for very limited cruising. They look like they might be a problem the first time you do any kind of sliding or drifting though.

your gonna roll an ankle on that thing. trust me i tried building my own before i gave in and just bought one.

u can get a gi flight for dirt cheap now

Dirt cheap varies from country to country.... truly.

Especially as GI distribution is almost nil there, if my guess on the locale is right.

MBS almost, but doesn't quite reach that far.

true, well i anyways i think he should look around on the forum for a used one.

i know here ive seen GIs go for 150 usd. i dont know about where he is located.
i would imagine cheaper because i thought GIs were imported to the states?

Nope. GI is in South Carolina.

@indigo_wolf

I am from Croatia. Yeah the board was a gift and it really did take alot of slides You should see the stairs where it slided :P :P They didnt go much better

Wheels are just for first try. It was taken off a baby cart.. As... with everithing.. Here there arent any 200mm wheels to buy. I could get them off ebay for 20 punds + 35 pounds for shipping..

Sadly.. Thats too much for me right now as I am spending all the money in a decent kite and making the buggy.. But will get some sooner or later.

@Houston AirHead

U cannot buy anything for kite landboarding here.. There are no forum and I doubt that are more than 10 ATBs in whole 5 million country.. Yeah.... We suck at any sport that aint soccer or basketball + people that could promote new sport dont couse noone from the offices that are involved in sports wont help abit..

Wait wait :P It aint done yet.. I have tons of snowboard parts to spare so will make a decent strap for them

Snowboard-like strap show up on a lot of boards by a company called No-Sno (UK).

There is at least one other person in Croatia ( Zaprešić ) that is mountainboarding :
