kicking with ankle weights is a bad thing - you are asking for injuries when you do that. the better option would be to do things like leg raises, both frontal and laterally. if you insist on kicking, then do it VERY SLOWLY.
I dunno about kicking the stake, but it sounds no different than heavy bag training, which may be more convenient.
