last summer i had a smooth, almost meditative kite-skating session on a pier in my hometown rostock at the baltic sea. the kite is bought from
born-kite.de - a small german kite company that makes a variant of nasawings.
the nasawing proved to be the perfect toy for this very tight spot ( circular asphalt place with 12 meter diameter). probably no other kite could
handle such a situation. the nasawing is robust (no cells to burst), cheap (hence its not that bad if you abrase your riptstop coating on the
asphalt), and flies perfectly stable on very short / no lines.
the wind was so smooth - just wonderful. the wind was light - windspeed was maybe around 5 - 8 knots ( 10 - max 20 km/h)
the video was cut by born-kite.de .
in summary: this was one of the best street-kiting sessions i had. just one word: smooth !!

Played fine here (yes I had to click it :D ) but I think your PC may be shutting down out of a sense of utter horror over the sound track :ticking:WELDNGOD - 11-11-2012 at 12:21 PM
No virus here either.... It is HD ,and it has PIP going on. Maybe your graphics aren't up to the task.WIllardTheGrey - 11-11-2012 at 02:44 PM
Played fine. Xp, Chrome and AVG.
What is it about "Don't click" that MAKES me click it?herc - 11-11-2012 at 03:30 PM
because it seems to work now for more than 4 people withouzt issues, i removed the warning in my first post.
@skimtwashington: no offense, but maybe it was something else that caused the trouble ? sometimes, graphics cards get too hot with HD movies and
suddenly shut down the system; maybe your adobe flash plugin is outdated; etc..
No offence taken..

And you might be right, herc.
Who knows why Rich and I both crashed...coincindence...etc...
Sorry to hijack the post. Just thought I might be helping prevent problem for folks.
But I'm not clicking on it again!DRH1469 - 6-1-2014 at 04:24 AM

Schönes Ding! Ich dachte du würdest das Farhradfaher überholen.
Möchte mir auch eins holen. Für die Frau wäre es ideal zu lernen und ich könnte mal streetkiten im Großstadt.
I wonder how John got in so tight with Born kites?PHREERIDER - 6-1-2014 at 08:20 PM
