Speedkickers Norrland!
eller "Snabbsparkers Norrland"
Ett alternativ om det inte är flygväder, för transport ut till isen för vinterflyg
eller om man bara vill leka lite grann
or "Speedkickers Norrland"
An alternative if the weather is too bad for flying, for transportation out on the iced lake for winterflying (paragliding) or if you just wanna play a little!
Welcome to this site about a "kick" as we say in Sweden. A kick is used by "kicking" with your foot on the ground to get it to go forward, that's why the name "kick", (unless you don't have a fan the pushes you forward...The motor is normally used for powered paragliding...)
Hold your mousemarker? overthe pictures and you'll see some qoutes from www.fark.com , I love it!!!
I found a really good translation (that I altered a bit...) on www.bladeforums.com by a person called "Gugsi" so all nonswedish-readers can now read all text! Thanx to G.

Motorn är en Fly Products power 115, notera stegringtendensen på sparken...
The engine is a Fly Products power 115, note the nervous pose on the kicker...

Det gäller att stå stadigt och vara beredd på allt...
You gotta stand steady and be ready for anything...

Sparken är av egen konstruktion, ihopsvetsad av stålrör
(delvis sponsrade av AssiDomän..) då en träspark inte håller så länge om glidet blir dåligt plötsligt! (läs: sandat)
Vägverket har "sponsrat" med en reflex och man kan tro att dom även sponsrat med färgen,
men så är det inte, då färgen är "Cheva småblocks orange" som råkade finnas på hyllan hemma!
The kicker is homemade, welded together with steel pipes (partially sponsored by AssiDomän...(A Swedish forestcompany...)) as a kicker made of wood wouldn't stand up to the pressure if the glide suddenly becomes bad! (as in sand on the ground).
The road admin service has "sponsored" a reflex tab and you could even think they provided the color, but that's not the case, as the color is "Chevy smallblockenginepaint orange" that was lying on the shelf at home!

You might get up to at least 44 mph, maybe more, but if you do there is a risk that you get what we in Sweden call; "Räserbajs"
Utan problem kan man komma upp i hastigheter på säkert 70km/h,
men förståndet börjar säga ifrån redan långt tidigare. Hjälm ska man givetvis ha,
men vid detta fototillfälle användes den inte som synes på bilderna.
Om då detta är lagligt tvistar de lärde,
men enligt uppgift så borde det inte vara direkt olagligt förutsatt att ingen olycka sker!
Men jag kan ju vara felinformerad..

You can achieve speeds up to 70km/h and probably more, but common sense tells you when to back out. You should also wear a helmet, but at this photoshoot it was not in use, as you can see from the pictures. Wether this is legal or not, we don't know, but according to aforementioned common sense it should not be directly illegal, presuming no accident occurs!
But I could be misinformed of course...
