WTF are you talking about dude. An obscure reference has to be universal enough to be understood but random enough to be funny...just at tip

Have you ever seen it? There was crazy wind and they did that with their skateboards.

i'm talking about like a wakeboard and your kite. you sit infront of a handrail and wait for a good gust of wind to pull you and you jump onto the rail and slide. you're is going to get fucked up though so you should have a specific urban kite board.

Are you using a kiteboard to do this or are you just using a kite, if the first was true it would make my rocket power post totally irrelevant.

1.you have a kiteboard (wakeboard) strapped on.
2. You then take out your kite (kiteboarding kite) and wait for a good gust of wind.
3. let the wind pull you, then you jump onto the handrail and grind it.
4. the ground has to be wet so you can slide when you land on the concrete. you can also have a little inflatable pool with water for the landing and the take off (like in wakebord videos).

That seems like quite a bit of trouble to go through but it sounds pretty fun.

i've only done it like twice becuase it really fucks up your board, you get hurt really bad (i'm not very good), and it takes a long time to set up, so by the time your ready to go your already getting kicked out of the place. I would post if I did video tape or take pictures, but i never did. i'll try next time we hit up the streets.
