Macx Posted January 19, 2004 Report Posted January 19, 2004 Hi together.... ...what do you all think about the conditions for a good place to go landboarding? Here in germany aren't such good fields like in the UK as I could see in the gallery. So are conditons like on a soccer field nessesary or are little bumps ok? What Du you think about Flexifoil Boards. I thought about the Flexdeck. THX and Greats Nils Quote
rjw Posted January 19, 2004 Report Posted January 19, 2004 Hi mate, not sure which part of Germany you are in. Not near the sea by the sounds of it. The coast is definately the place to be in the UK. Better winds and big beaches make for top boarding. Otherwise I usually fly on an opne patch of ground which has football pitches and rugby pitches on it. Other ares are far more bumpy than this. but this can sometimes be good fun, especially with the bigger bumps. beaches are the best though. rjw Quote

My local site is flat football fields not bowling green flat though. Uneven ground is fine as long as it is not a ploughed field. What Du you think about Flexifoil Boards. WELL COOL.... I have the KAVA and wouldn't change it for anything. They aren't like mountain boards (big skateboards) they are designed to be used with kites like a Kite SurfBoard. Mountain Boards can be ridden like a Skateboard (without a kite) Quote
caktus5 Posted January 20, 2004 Report Posted January 20, 2004 Hi, I board mainly on grass with little bumps (but I prefer the beach). If you don't board in flat field it's better to have bigger wheels on your MTB than standard one. Quote

rasga Posted January 20, 2004 Report Posted January 20, 2004 hey mate, theres nothing that says you have to have flat ground! http://www.kiteatb.co.uk/_gallery/albums/rasga/Img_1009.thumb.jpg Theres an example of me on a rock feature, more pics here and also :here http://www.kiteatb.co.uk/_gallery/albums/dogrocks/Img_1067.thumb.jpg My local spot in basingstoke is a gradient hill, with some not so smooth patches, beaches aer lovely, but everything is ridable, pictures of the ozone KiteATB guy on some gravel mount feature in a magazine article!

Macx Posted January 20, 2004 Author Report Posted January 20, 2004 What a kite is the blue one on your picture??? Quote
rasga Posted January 20, 2004 Report Posted January 20, 2004 That one is a 12M Ozone Frenzy, if you click on the picture you can see some more pictures of it. Lovely kite, from some lovely people at PKS! Quote
Macx Posted January 20, 2004 Author Report Posted January 20, 2004 Oh very nice kite. I know the Frenzy 9.5 from my mate. But its very kompex bridle, isn't it? Doesn't that lines slow down the kite to much? Quote
Macx Posted January 21, 2004 Author Report Posted January 21, 2004 Ok than, lets get back to my first question. As you said bigger wheels are better on bumpy grounds. Is it possible to put the 230cm tires of the kavadeck at the Flexdeck or Airdeck? I would like to have a shorter Board (less then 1m) couse of jumping. Quote
Agger Posted January 21, 2004 Report Posted January 21, 2004 Macx, take a look at the noSno boards, heavy but very comfy especially on rough ground, you may want soemthing else but they are worth a look. :cool: Love to Brunswick Quote
Macx Posted January 21, 2004 Author Report Posted January 21, 2004 Nice Boards.... And also not very expensive. But I'm a little afraid of starting this new hobby. I'm afraid of bracking my leg or ankle or something else. This heavy bindings on the nosnow boards aren't them dangerous? What do you think about the risk. Perhaps a buggy would be better for me but I've only a littel VW Polo. I think the buggy does not fit. Greats Nils Quote
