Hey thats a novel idea.. I hope the kids that owned the bicycles were done with them before you took their front forks off.. haha. The only question I have is about the strength. I have been in the bike industry for over 7 years and I know the the small kids bicycles do not offer the same quality in materials.. Did you reinforce or reweld the area near the head tube? Just be careful.

I was going to try that awhile ago.
lets us know how they work out..

yep. I welded it/ still no wind. I will keep u posted. Another idea came to upgraid it with braiks. it is all setup already just install it. Will see how it goes.

great idea!

"Let it melt"

very cool!

I tried it yesterday (15 mph) and not bad ( there is something in this idea)but I have feet too weak for this -- 5 minutes flying and 30 is resting on the back. I have only one place to go is a grussy field by Canada Wonderland and it is sort of bumpy there. If I went on sand would be better I think. So This is not for me. I am building buggy now/ Constractionwise it is ok and did not see any problem with bikes forks/ but i did not push em hard / I guess i will sell it some day. I noticed they already have everything to install brakes.

I was hopinh to do some blading this summer (im new). Can you not use regular inline skates while kiting?

Yes, you can. This sport began with inline skates in parking lots. Just remember to use smaller kites (3m or less) in large areas free of light poles or electric lines etc. and pad up.

Tip: avoid speeds over 25mph... inline skates get wobbly at high speed.
