Anyone tried one of these. I saw a video that looked pretty fun.

That thing does look pretty cool. I like the part on the iced over lake and hockey skates. Could you imagine falling and punching through that ice though?

So that video is cool - Iceland or Finland? But I think my arms would fall off mid frozen-lake jump after holding onto that thing all day!

Anyone remember the Wind Weapon? I think the guy's name was Dave Terry who brought them to the Gorge in 1986 or 87. There were some spectacular big air crashes on a nukin day at Dougs and videos at Pietros to top it off. These kitewings kind of remind me a land version of the Wind Weapon without the mast attachment.

Those things look pretty sweet - there is a lot of potential for them. It seems like you could use them for a lot of different activities.
