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.

Me and Jolt fly in Schaumburg all the time, big open space and the cops dont care, if you would like to hook up with please call me at 630-802-3006 tommorow and wed are great winds. Please let me know.

Hi , Thanks ! i will try that area in Schaumburg ! that pretty close to me , i am in the Chicago Northwest .

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

No sorry, never really tired going that far down south.

Pretty much all of central IL is one giant open field

yeah, ive been south, but thats before i started kiting, years ago.

but if youre ever up here in the area, be sure to let us know...

Guys, is this the spot?

Schaumburg

If so then Friday looks like a hookie day from work!:singing:

Yup thats the spot...
