Mountainboarding Video
Hey,
Had a great session earlier today and got some decent video. I need to change the camera angle so I can get more kite shots.
Nothing too extreme though. Just me with my NPW and my new mountain board cruisin down a back road. Worked pretty good, one way was pretty
upwindish... the other direction was nice and speedy... for me anyway.
There is a couple times where I crash because of some gusts... not sure how I could handle them better??? Any ideas would be appreciated.
Enjoy!

Cheers,
Dave

nice , exact same way i started with NPW . put a strop line on it ! larks heads on to the handles so they can be slid around for nice balanced
position , gotta be ready to grip and unhook! its a nice way to transition into harnessed riding. gives the arms/grip a little rest.
way to go!

great job, and video. That's kind of what made me give up the mtn
board, getting pulled over the front. I'm quite a bit older than you, though, and have to worry more about that "I've fallen and can't get up!"
thing.

Very nice :D My kind of boarding, nice distance and good speed without fancy tricks.
Me: Dutch Flyboarder ... but not the kind you\'re thinking of.
Power: PL Vibe 1.8 (1.9 mod) - PL Vibe 1.9 - PL Vibe 2.3 - PL Hornet 2.0 - PL Twister 4.1 - PL Twister 5.6
Wind Range: Riding: 11 - 38 knots. Jumping: 12 - 21 knots.
Ride: Trampa (14ply 35deg channels)
Wants: PL Reactor II 6.9 - PL Impulse TR 3.0
Former gear: Libre Dragonboard Sirius - PL Guerilla 13 - Flysurfer Speed I 10 - Ozone Manta II 10
Homemade: PL Vibe 1.8 - Star 6.0 (Depower) - 3 Nasawings - Pixie 1.5 (fun foil) - Flowform 3.0 (slk) - Frog (laundry)
Dilemma: If you work, you have money for kites but no time to fly them. If you don\'t work, you have plenty of time to fly
kites, but no money to buy them. Either way, we\'re all screwed...
