Kite skating
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kite skating, sometimes referred to as Kiteblading, is a land based extreme sport using powerful controllable kites to propel riders of inline skates or off-road skates at speeds up to 60+mph across parking lots, desert dry lakes, grassy fields, and sandy beaches.
Typically used in rough terrain, kite skates use large pneumatic tires (8 to 12 inch diameter). Four-line, steerable parafoil kites are used as the power source.
