Hi all,
Kaito here, checking in from the Ryukyu islands, Japan.
Been kiting for 4yrs, going into 5, already..!
Before I discovered kiting, I skateboarded (Park/street) for over 10yrs, got tired of taking the slam-downs on pavement, so moved on to kiting. (age didn't help either...
) Dabled a bit here and there w/friends skims, surfboards, but have mostly been stayed on TT's.
A kite-buddy told me about LTS, and was even kind enough to flow me his unused Cabal(Fire). Since then, I've been a regular lurker. Last week I had a chance to get on the Cabal skim last week & had an absolute blast! (feel'n the advantages of a sk8-background)
In the past, I would've ridden a skim for 10~15min's, then call it quits, but seeing the dedication of fellow strapless riders here on LTS, and seeing/experiencing the fun/possibilities of strapless fun, I'm now ready to revers the skim-riding vs TT riding ratio!
Thanks for providing us this forum! Great place to share the stoke and keep the strapless vibes goin!
宜しくお願いしまーす!
カイト
