Sam Lawman's Kite Landboarding sessions, Spring 2007

[blueground27]

great! now try those tricks on a snowboard or even better a skateboard

[dethmetalworld]

would the tensor 4.2m be a good starter kite? i weigh 170lbs, could i get some good lift out of it or should i go with the 5m?

[RUBITOFF]

love kites join mobilekiter.webs.com

[LiLDjToAsTiE]

what board is that

[jennyrules11]

can you tell me a good kite to get big air for up to £150

[thelukeandrews]

@jennyrules11 a second hand Flexifoil Blade will do the trick. But you're not hooked in so it's harder work... but easier to learn

[jennyrules11]

thanks but im gonna get a ozone 3m or 4m kite as it has had good reviews!!

[trumpettom001]

@jennyrules11, for that sort of money, you'd be better off getting a paragliding lesson - that way you get a 30min flight..... I paid 250 for my kite, and it's not superb for airtime i must admit..

[JohnnyDeppigX]

nice song

[11bartus11]

lawl i got a question where do u kno any web site taht sells a good land kite that i could of buy bc i had one but it's the time for new one and can't find any websites

[oyvinator]

how big a kite for 5-10 mps wind would be reccomended, and is this a safe way of learning to be mobile while flying a kite?

[junya82]

I have a HQ APEX 2 that works well at those wind speeds.

[padzonline]

Awesome vid chaps...

[vici002]

what is the difference between 4 line handles and 4 line control bar? I read that there is more control with the handles but i see a lot of riders using the bar. and whats a good start kite i like the Flexifoil Sting and Flexifoil Rage.

[jonnybegoodnow]

control bar is harder to get used to but gives a simpler setup-tangle free- and is awsoeme for jump hangtime. Flexifoil sting and rage are similair but it depends on your size and the size of kite. Rage pull more but i started with sting. Its really more how much you are willing to spend

[NLal3x]

I disagree, in my eyes the control bar is way easier than handles :D !

[Stungun2010]

well alot of the riders tht u see landboarding will often use depowerable kites thats why they are using a bar. But the flexifoil sting and the flexifoil rage are great kites i had a flexifoil sting fo my first kite but didnt find it was anywhere near powerful enough for me and i weigh 11.5 stone. Hope tht helped

[ferarilambo]

Well you see the riders with the bar because they don't need to control it as much as people as rubbish as me! LOL

[BT4W]

Landboarders usually use a bar so they can do grabs and spins. With a bar you can just spin the bar the opposite way to untangle your lines after spinning. Both are good kites to start on but if your planning on getting into landboarding you should start with a bar.

[f3styl]

sorry i mean point

[f3styl]

thats the pont of doing it lol

[LDsailopal]

that lookjs cool, but i'm afraid i'm gonna go flying into the air,

[nmw15]

awesome vid. thought bout tryin this but it seems kinda expensive. btw what song was this?

[Fishyfish107]

what if the wind's REALLY strong and u aren't heavy enough to weigh it down again? i'd bring scissors. lol

[aplauchegmail]

arcs give you more lift less pull right?

[armesy182]

What meter kite was this with?

[Samfootski]

a 13m venom

but if your a beginner dont get something this size. Do your research, as this is an arc, so less power.

[amrcanedgeprep]

What meter kite was this with?

[howie6666]

Dude.. if u started at end of Jan and ur ripping it like u are there.. and your only 15.. Your gunna go places with this sport dude..

[LeeMGTi]

Hi Sam,

I'm just getting into kite boarding i just have a 3m Ozone kite and a Kheo Flyer board!

Great videos mate, your very good!!!

[Samfootski]

Hey, Yeah it is, I live in kingsbridge, you?

sounds kl, if we fly together ill give ya sum tips.

[JoeVSvolcano]

Expensive boards.. Minimum 300 investment on a board, another 300 for a decebnt used kite.

[Samfootski]

or 150 for a new board, and 250 for a complete used kite. :D

[dsr150]

What boards are being used?

[Samfootski]

MBS Core 1

[seymoor]

and what kind of kite is that?

[Samfootski]

I think there is bits with bullets but the good moves are with the venom, lush kite.

[seymoor]

huge airs and nice jumps dude! how old are you??

[Samfootski]

I've just turned 15, and started in end of Jan.

[carltb]
