Mood: They're ALL good ideas. Right up until they become BAD ideas.

Lifty bits


Saw this in the For Sale thread and thought it warranted a topic of it's own.

"I fly my 5 meter Riot in winds from 8 - 20mph... Gets very lifty at the top end.
Good kite in the buggy and it's lifty enough for those wanting to ride a m/board."

.......lifty enough for those wanting to ride a mountainboard? Is this because it helps "lighten" the rider or is the lift strictly for freestyle? Seems the reference here implies that it's to lighten the load on the board as I'm not sure 5m and freestyle are really a good combo unless you're an ace flyer. I could be wrong....

Not sure lighten the load is what they are getting at. It's probably for jumping type stuff. A 5meter in 20mph wind is really pushing it on an ATB.

Plus it would be a handful for freestyle I'm sure.
