Ive got a helmet...not a very good one...but it will do the job its meant to:) But i must admit i dont wear it as often as i should:o
-
Shouldnt get banned as its private...the more members we get gives us a greater chance of getting the rest of the feild (currently half grass and half ploughed) planted with grass seed.... then its going to be one amazing site:D Good luck in finding a good site...and us milton keyneions will wellcome you any day you fanzy a trip up here:rolleyes: P.S. Barrel*boy is good by the way...very good:eek:
-
Mines a pretty cr*p looking helmet but it does its job:( But no money to get a new one...lol A local bike shop may be of use.....the one near us has plenty to choose from! and...urrr my dogs just farted....

How many of you guys and girls listen to tunes when boarding?!
SkintMonkey replied to Tone's topic in Landboarding
Take my ipod sometimes:) but it does become a pain when your on the move and having tiny conversations with the odd buggier going by:( I agree...if you get the right music its superb:eek: -
i have 2...a goodish one and a pretty naf one! If im by myself then it stays in the pocket. has allready got cracks and has also been dunked in water but if others are about and because our site is pretty secure it goes in the bag

He talks about it on this thread: http://www.flexifoil.com/community/forums/showthread.php?t=36618&page=1 there are some other interesting clips of big jumps and falls in there as well:eek:

It strikes me as quite cold if you ask me:) ....would be fun in the sun and warm waters though.... But i agree ive no quibbles and have in fact never met a kitesurfer knowingly so cant really comment on thruths here....but i tend to agree the above may be true in some cases:eek: Is this down to bob10 and sir blah in the kitesurfing forum..... No need to get worked up just take it as the equivalent to bmw drivers...you get some bad uns and a few good uns:rolleyes: had a very nice one today when i was with my instructor....he didnt even cut me up...must of had some points on his licence. sorry gone off topic......ill get my coat
-
No problem with learing on them....i did....and managed to pick it up withing two or three sessions..and am now getting better everytime....much to the envy of others....lol:p
-
Im guessing the measured wingspan is that of an inflated kite and not deflated....thats where the confusion could be and the lack of accurate results.... Just a thought:)
-
Ive been pretty high with a 12 metre frenzy:eek: Dont know exactly because i was screaming like a girl but those who wernt watching said i was 7 foot off the ground on the way down after a very floaty jump.....so guessing 10 + feet:D :D I had the biggest grin on my face Needless to say handed the yellow beauty back to its owner after that:o
-

Went to Marmaris myself last week.....we sailed outta there on a gullet for a week:p THe wind was amazing even with the mountains but shame there are hardly any beeches let alone any usable ones:eek: never mind it was still a great holiday:D
-
Pretty good idea....... Have a sweety:)
-

It stems from sailers and is a measure of speed. It is one nautical mile per hour. Never refer to "knots per hour" unless you want to describe acceleration. A nautical mile is one minute of one degree of longitude and is slightly longer than the ordinary, or statute, mile used in the United States. To convert nautical miles to miles or knots to miles per hour, multiply by 1.15. To convert miles to nautical miles or miles per hour to knots, divide by 1.15. however some sources say......One knot equals 1.22 miles

learning to drive at the moment so im in a similar boat to you!! Even so its difficult to get a lift...... so....ive attached my board, 2 kites, helmet, harness, bar and foooooooooooodddd/drink to my back and cycled the 2 miles or so to the feild:cool: It weighs a ton and is pig awkward but it works.........in a way needless to say dont lean over to look behind or else you will find yourself flat on the road in front of an on coming car:eek: not sure if attaching a buggy to your back would work but maybe if you have a bike and find a way to lift the front wheel away off the ground and away from the rear tire you would get away with and be perfectly legal as well:D ....it also acts as a means to carry all your stuff:rolleyes: .... even so you may still look like a prat (like me mind) but doesnt involve much embarrasing laughs as your going too fast to really care:D
-
Gone downhill on my airdeck with little problems. There is a heelside bias but its not hard to overcome and just letting some air out of the tires makes it alot more comfortable. Have a go.....theres no harm in trying:D .....maybe you should tighten your trucks first though:eek:
-
Got my first jumps today:D ....ok so i was stupidly overpowered, and was lacking in the technical know how on how to land them.....but hell i had fun. Gusting between 10 and 20 i think....though rob had the wind meter?? and i was out on my 4 mtr blade. Interesting to say the least but not bad for my second week on the board:)
-
he he he........a 12 metre frenzy......have to see you with that!!!! Looks impressive in photos so in real life............lovely. Winds dropped to 15 by the way:eek:
-
Thanks...mate. Shame about your session but then you did get a big jump.....lets forget about the landing:rolleyes: Cant wait until im out again:D
-
Had my first proper go at it on friday when there was a bit of wind and wow.....got a few good runs up and down the field before the wind dropped. The remainder of the Mk huys were unable to see my excellance as a newb on a board........well........thats what i make out at least:D
-
I was going up with a 2.5 bullet today....but then im not too heavy:p ...pretty fun but very lumpy and i looked like a prat. Sooo many mistakes:o Its just like when you get into a car and cant for the life of you remember what to do ....lol:( ...well it is for me:D
