Kite + Ice + Butt + Board = Instructables TV

The latest Instructables TV is out! Use home made devices to go kite ice butt boarding anywhere there is ice, wind and plenty of room, Tim writes -

"Your screaming steel blades carve the ice.
Your straining kite hurls you along at incredible speeds.
You are mere inches above the ice. Or suddenly wiping out all over it.
If polo is the "sport of kings", then surely kite-ice-butt-boarding is the sport of gods.
This week's Instructables TV episode shows you what you've got to do this winter." - Link.

You can also get the video (MOV) here - Link.

Wish we had some nice large frosen lakes here too. (Without 1000 ice skating children)

I did this exact thing on thursday in seattle. Only I didn't have a lake, only a parking lot. Oh, and I didn't have a board of any kind. I guess it was pretty much me getting dragged around by a power kite in 90mph+ winds. It was great.
