has anyone sat in a shopping trolley while being dragged along by a kite???

I think this could be a new option for inland kiters or jackass fans

going up and down those shopping centre parking ramps could be a new sport - just need helmet and padding

I have seen it done and the kite was in a tree before it even got going fast enough to cause an injury.

Please get it on video so we can all have a laugh.

Wouldn't work (properly) with trolley wheels as you wouldn't be able to stay upwind, you'd just be pulled downwind.

Yes, I have tried it in the surf but the troley was hard to jump as I could not generate enough pop using the wheels alone. After spending $89 on a peace of marine ply (yes from the local hardware store) i was able to bolt the trolley to the ply...head out in the surf and jump the crap out of the whole thing....Is this what you want to hear?
