Is levitation speed additive

It may be that the -1 per 2 yards/sec is too steep of a penalty, but I'd say certain items like water skis and rollerblades/skateboards may well grant a level or more of the Perk to increase maximum safe speed, but such levels are probably "gated" by skill level (that is, you get the Perk for "free" at a certain level of Skateboarding skill or whatever).

My post was more a jumping-off point than a solution, really.

Close to a street I'd imagine you'd get a lot of turbulence from the rising thermals, particularly on a sunny day.

The car going over a bump, resulting in the car rocking around on the suspension, resulting in your rope being jerked around. A bigger problem is the turbulence off of the actual car you're being dragged behind, plus every other vehicle around.

Well, that and dodging power lines, stop lights, etc.
