Hi , i am from Europe trapped in Chicago and i was riding an ATB with a kite (11.0) but after a month the police came and told me " i dont know what
is that but is a very risky , look like a parasute with a harness and that is illegal " (do i should just do Baseball ?) NO BODY IN THE PARK !
looks like that Chicago doesnt have any place to do this sport .
Is there somebody that know a big open field Max 70 Miles from Chicago to do Kitelandboarding ?
Maybe Chicago dont allow the Olimpics too:roll:

did you tell them that it wasnt? and infact was just a kite, no differant to the single line kites they played with as a kid?

There are fields around here that are open, not the largest ones in the state, but im abt 30 miles out of chicago.
The police around here dont even bother us with the kites, and other people at the park just watch us fly around.
The field is in schaumburg by woodfield mall.

If it helps give Trancein1 a call, we'd love to meet more people in this sport.
So if you know where woodfield mall is, the site we go to is about 3/4 of a mile away from there.

Do any of you guys ever travel as far south as Springfield IL? My family lives there and I plan on being home in the next month or so
Jolt - 25-9-2009 at 09:13 AM
No sorry, never really tired going that far down south.
