while you geeks sit here are debate fox hunting and chat up lines i have been out on my buggy with my kite!



cant remember who it was that said "get a kite" ages ago when i asked about starting a new hobby...anyway, thank you!!!!!!!

Nimbus

I should have a word with who ever sold you that. It's missing an engine...

Tiggs

mother nature is my engine...and shes cheaper than optimax!

The Zohan

Mother nature is your engine when the wind blows otherwise it is down to foot power - looks like good fun, where to you use it?

Tiggs

paul, as long as the winds at 3mph or more i have a kite to suit! in fact to much wind is the main prob as my smallest kite is still quite big!

and i use it on any field! or the beach.

**** the missing engine, where the hell are the brakes?

Tiggs

brakes are for ******

dnb

If you think you need brakes, you can get a backpack containing rope and a large brick.

Trouble is it messes up the power to weight ratio

DrEvil

From what I heard the power-to-weight ratio is already fairly messed up by Tiggs alone...

AndiThompson

It's an axel, aint it?

care3

nice one tiggs,
how large have you gone?blade 2,s

mattstant

I can understand the attraction of a sand yacht as you can tack across the wind but surely a kite just drags you to the end of the field and thats it!!!

I presume you then get off and drag the whole lot back to where you started!!!!

A bit like skiing with no ski lift ???

care3

you can tack,and go upwind with a bit of practice

dnb

just like real sailing, except a bit quicker

BOB.T

I wouldn't need mother nature, could prolly produce enough wind of my own with the thought of no brakes

Tiggs

matt,

you can can up wind easy, as well as down and across- basicaly where you want!

care3,

i have a blade 2 3m, 4.9m and 9m

Tiggs,

The suggestion to get a kite, erm, I think that might have been my fault

Glad you are having a go, hope you are enjoying it ? Sounds like you have the right selection of kit.

Any big wipe outs yet ? Got the 360 degree spin down to a T yet ?

May all your days be windy ones...

Cheers

Ian

Tiggs

ian, i have to admit when you first said "get a kite..." i thought it was a daft idea!!!

having done bike racing, trackdays, motocross, enduros, kayaking, etc, etc i have to say this is the best fun/cheapest thing ever!!!

i have a few kites, a harness, buggy and mountain board for the price of about 2 or 3 trackdays! and now the wind is free!
