ps- its very cool!

 

Thats one of these isn't it ?



That is

 

it is...only bigger!

and even cooler when it hoist you 10ft in the air!

how hard are thet to fly? i fancy one but have never flown a kite

 

they are easy!!!!

first time out it will take you a good couple of hours so you need a quiet (so no one laughs) and big (so you dont hit anything) field.

once you have the nack you can get the kite from bag to flying in 3 mins (same for packing up)

the more you fly the better you will get but the initial learning curve is very steep so after 2-3 gos you will look pretty confident!


as for fun!!!!! they are mad- use a light wind at first (and light means light, they will fly in a very gentle brezze) once you get better go out on a windy day (or a beach! ) and get hoisted 10-15 up! absolutly mad!

i have done motorcross, bike racing, trackdays, climbing, canoeing, flying, etc and this is the best for putting raw power in your hands! (on a windy day at weston supermare it lifted me (held down by 3 blokes) of the deck and dragged us 50 yards!

ps- im only selling cause im 18st and need a slightly bigger kite!

pps- do stuff like this...

forget it! i'm frightened to death of heights.
or do you only get lifted in major winds, i weigh about 11 stone without my wallet.

 

18st!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no offence m8 but have you thought of one of these:

 

11st, what are you 10 years old?

you only get lifted on windy days- i see plenty of youngsters who cant weigh much more than 10st flying on normal days.

T

ps- scared of heights! you are only going to be 6ft up at most! how do you get up stairs?

 

1. I am 30

2. I live in a bungalow.

if you only get up to 6ft, thats not so bad, i'll save this thread anyway as it does look like a good doss, I am going away tmorow so i'll see when I get back.
just out of interest how much are they new, and how old is yours?

 

£350 ish and couple of months old...very good fun!

 

MJ,

I am sh*t scared of heights too, been on one of these power kite jobbies, they are mental!! - I weigh 12 stone and on a normal day with relatively light wind you can get a couple of feet off the floor easily, well worth the money these things are stacks to buy new for a decent one.....would buy one myself but a good friend of mine has a couple so just blag his every time I want a go!

bttt for Tiggs too
