Earthflyer - take one tricked out mountainboard, a kiteboarding rig, and the windy season in the Australian Outback. Mix together for Earthflyer Dirk Gion's whirlwind 17 day 3,000 km tour of Western Australia.

This is totally bitchin'! I'm jealous of people that have figured out ways to do things like this.

I want to go on a pilgramage of pogo sticking all the way across America, will someone sponsor me? I promise to wear a GPS tracker, a handlebar cam and to never, ever pogo drunk.

Seriously cool stuff! The gallery has some excellent pics in it!

Very cool, but I've got to nitpick because the the route appears not to be through Western Australia, but rather through South Australia and the Northern Territory - the same route as the solar powered cars travel on.

Bah, my bad Jimbob. That was a bit of haste and ignorance on my part. Sorry, man.
