Step 35Skateboard As Kiteboard Trainer
Eric Wilhelm of Instructables fame tries out my kiteboard trainer.
The lines are about 20 feet long and are tied to something solid.
To use it you point the board a bit toward the anchor point and pull on the bar to start moving.
Then turn away from the anchor to coast away til you get to the end of the lines.
Then repeat in the other direction. You end up riding back and forth in an arc shaped path with the apex toward the anchor point.
It's kind of like trying to kite in not enough wind.
More like it than sitting in a chair anyway.
To make it even more unstable like standing on water, Eric is using a double-decker skateboard technique.
