I've been doing this sport for quite a while and the best way to describe it is a cross between skateboarding and snowboarding. Got into it by buying my own board then practising anywhere I could until I got reasonably good at staying upright. Just wondering if anyone else had tried it? Some pics of me down in Wales:
I had an afternoon of it on a PGL holiday in France a few years ago and I found it very enjoyable, easy to pick up. I didn't do any jumps or anything but even so, it was a good laugh.
Yep that's what I found, and it's easier than something like snowboarding because you just lean to turn.
I picked up snowboarding in 3 hours or less. I cant even stand on a skateboard to move off. Mountain boarding looks fun.
I have seen someone mountainbording with a parafoil. They wer able to get great air! Looks fun but I think I would hurt my self. Snow is a little more forgiving and I like 2 planks Meblin
Yeah thinking of getting myself a kite...they're so expensive though so it might have to be a crimbo present It really is hard to fall off one of these. As long as you're going reasonably quick (average cycling speed I'd say) then you can pretty much turn quite easily. PS: eww skis, snowboarding every time...
