ive tried it on a straight road with a 2m trainer. the 3.5m should b the perfect size but a foil would b beta. trust me your gona crash it heaps so be prepared 4 leaky bladders.

Try looking on the kitepower website for video of goshen on a mountaib board, I think the best action was at a place called 'dog rocks' one part of the rocks just looks like a big wave...

Get some power up on a vert half pipe and send the kite, would be some good action, just make sure someone gets it on vid for us...

I reckon the biggest problems on the ramp would be

1. having the exact wind direction needed,

2. going downwind on the jump may mean that you would not land on the ramp after a jump,.

no big dramas either way though if youre the one willing to try it ....., although im not sure that a 3.5m would give you that slow a landing from 5 metres up compared to a 12m or similar, if you left the ramp area and landed on the flat.

could hurt a bit.

It would be sick to do big gaps from roof to roof if you had the right conditions & the right spot to do it.

Have tried with my 7m matrix,
This sucked the small boxy kite didnt glide to well in the light wind and ended up wearing alot of holes in the canopy.
Then I used my 22.5 matrix.This worked well!!
The kite glides well.easier to fly in the light winds. still wore holes in it when it hit the pavement.CLS made it easy to start and control the power properly.

Dont use full staps on your skatie,just use ollie hook,Wear elbow knee protection,especially good gloves.
I dont even recommend doing it,nearly completely ****ed myself, showing off trying to throw a slim.Concrete is very abrasive and hard.
