Lolage Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 I know Snowkiting is mostly done on flat open space but has anyone tried snowkiting to the top of a hill then snowboarding down? Come on, somone must of! Quote
Bertie Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 surely the lift and cables would get in the way a tad? Quote
metal_snapper1599968645 Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 Yep, it's done on the newer Ozone vid.... Quote
craig.w1599968638 Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 Have a search about for some of the Chasta vids, he uses the kite to pull him and one of his kids up the hill on a sledge pulled behind him..... then the kiddy sledges down while he jumps him I know Snowkiting is mostly done on flat open space but has anyone tried snowkiting to the top of a hill then snowboarding down?

cstowell Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 That's the whole point innit? Flats are for noobs, once you've paid your dues then it's time to start using that power to get you to more interesting places. Why jump on the flat when you can jump off a mountain? Quote

intomountains Posted February 1, 2007 Report Posted February 1, 2007 Download either the Jerome Josserand or Matt Blanchard clip from this site (can't remeber which but think it is Jerome Josserand cos he is from La Grave valley) https://www.flexifoil.com/downloads/videos.php. About half way through he points to a mountain and then you see him going on a little trip up there. If I am right this place is on the south side of the Col du Lautaret and it is a pretty big mountain (movie makes it look flat). Some kiters also get up there and then pack away for some freeriding down. Kites not recommended around lifts though! Quote
