Anyone ever done it? Im thinkin about toying with a kite during the summer months so i can get good enough to let it tow me up the hill next year.

My advice when you start: just go in a nice breeze, if the wind is strong at all and you have the wrong kite you will get handled like you've never been before

 
ive done it with a mountain board, never on skis tho

Yeah I read some article in a magazine not long ago about this, looked pretty insane, not sure what happens when you loose control and go flying off a cliff... Saw some snowboarders doing it a couple of yeras back on a mountian over hear.

kite skiing where? why do you need a kite when you have a mountain and gravity to pull you down?

or are we talking about kite surfing?

Well i've been kitesurfing for about a year now, all i can say is that its hella powerful, but also a big hassle. I wouldn't spoil the free-feeling you get in the mountains by strapping myself into a harness and working a kite all day, it realy takes alot of effort untill you get good.

thts not kite skiing, thats a skate wing. If your talking about real kite skiing, first of all where, and i garuntee youlll need a course. or youll be in the hospital pretty soon.

also make sure youve got the right kite, if its too bog t wlll drag you and you wont be able to stop

Live freeskiing or die trying

say no to drugs

and always obey the skier's irresponsibility code
 
try kite boardin first too see if you like it. i haven't tried it but i imagine it might be easier to learn because there is a relative abundance of people out there who do and could teach you a thing or two.

 
I read an article about it in Coulior. You can do it in the mid west and ski with the wind on completely flat ground. It looks cool, but just expensive.

Imagine the ns outcry if u(lateralis) were banned. There would be countless threads and petitions to bring u back, it would be like when treadway got banned from whistler. Someone would probably make and sell 'Free Lateralis' stickers and shit. -j
 
wouldn't you have to be back sweat a lot to control the kite?

good old jon. i think they use the kites to pull them selves up mountains and then they ski down

what are you, some sort of ass kicking catholic bitch?-canadapridecc

 
I know that the question was how does kite wing compare to a kite my big beef with the kite is you need a big open area it looks like the wing could be used in a smaller area like soccer fields.
