| Didn't like the groundboard experience with the straps too much on the tarmac - what would you recommend for tooling around parking lots

Gman...
get a large older skateboard(at least 8.5 width) with wide(longboard-stlye) trucks... or, you can just use a longboard..(but it will be directional)
It's really not too hard, just kinda intimidating... make sure you have soft wheels too...so you will roll-over any cracks, rocks etc.
plus, you got the strapless mastered anyhow....it will be a cake-walk. 
I got one you can borrow if you want..

I'd also say lower and wider is better...more stability..
Daddies on Sandy has tons of options... http://www.daddiesboardshop.com/
-let me know and I'll come out and snap pics with the good hand. 
lots of sun on the way.

Yo, GmaN
Id say any board that has high manuverability and soft soft wheels
for smoother riding
I have a few boards that you can try out any time that you like, that way you would have had a better gage for which type of board you are looking for.

| just make sure you use big wheels. I'd suggest checking out abec 11 wheels and for trucks i'd take a look ate randal 180's or seismic trucks (if you choose to go the longboard route.

MBS makes a downhill street board that should work well for kiting, I'll post a pic soon.

I agree! I've got my Dom maxed out at 25.5 right now... but I think it's wide enough.
Took this pic of my gf's nephew the other day. That's gangsta!
