My brother is looking at getting a new cheap buggy. He has looked around and likes the look of it. What is it like for comfort and strength. I s it worth the money or would he be better to save up to get something better? Many Thanks Ross

Is it a buggy? I don't know, so I'll post in here and see what response I get. I'm thinking of making one, does anyone have any suggestions, ideas or experiences of these which they'd care to share ? My current thinking is a standard barrow wheel at the front, a large ATV or Turf tyre at the back, usual headset and forks, swan neck down tube, side rails and seat pretty much as per a race buggy, with a low CofG. I'd be interested from all or any of you with thoughts and suggestions.

This thread is for posting and bragging about your top speeds, its been going for a while now, and Ive just foolishly taken stewardship of it The official Australia records can be seen here http://www.extremekites.com.au/knowledge/buggy/speed records_australia Rules for posting 1) all claims must include a picture of the GPS reading showing the max speed achieved 2) claims should include the following details -Kite used -Location -Buggy -Wind Speeds 3) Anyone making a claim should be aware that sometimes GPS readings are unreliable and occasionally Ghost reading can indicate speeds significantly higher that that actually achieved, its r…

GT-Race is a kite buggy brand from the Netherlands that has been around for some time, many of the top 10 world speed records have also been set in GT-Race buggies. They seem to have quite a range of options, including custom cut foot-pegs, steering lock options and a range of other parts. Take a look at the GT-Race Rapide FL for example ( http://gt-race.nl/Rapide.php ). http://www.gt-race.nl

The Kite Buggy Bag =============== The bag has been designed to be a snug fit, inside the rear bars, of the Vmax, Full Race and Camelion Kite Buggies. It also closley follows the profile of the Buggy so It is aesthetic to the eye. It will carry a 7m, 4m and 2.5 complete with lines and handles, with space for a water bottle and grub! There is a waterproof pocket in the bag to carry your personal belongings, as i hate leaving my wallet either on the beach in a bag, or in the car. I lost a set of keys before now and it was no joke trying to find them!!! It was then i made my first bag. If someone wants a deep bag to carry much more kit, especially with the…

You all wanted it so it has been sorted. A 6 hour team event. At a new event venue that could become one of the premier event beaches in the country. Ainsdale-on-Sea. Event is planned as a weekend event on the 14th and 15th of August. Teams must have 3 members all using the same race number although different buggies can be used. All normal Supercup rules and regulations apply. Details will soon be available on the Supercup website or you could mail me. Other details will follow.

Just noticed that the PKA have introduced this rule after the KBA meeting. This poses a problem to me as my buggy is currently balanced with 10kg additional on the rear axle. The new rules seem to suggest that parts cannot use solid metal pieces or be filled in any way. (I think this is poorly worded... think about plates... they're solid metal!.. but I get the drift). However, in my case provided I use an axle which is not solid or filled with additional material am I right in assuming I can make it as heavy as I wish at present? 12.2 Additional weights on buggy’s At this moment the maximum additional weight on an buggy is 20kg. Proposal is to lower this weight…

OK we are pretty much sold out of all Sysmic Buggies and Wheels All we have left is 2 of the 8" Rims and some 2.5" rims left. Looks like they are clean out in Europe as well so another production run will be under way soon. For anybody considering Sysmic buggies or rims start getting your wish list ready for pre-orders soon. Jas Briskites

First glimpse of the new "Method" fixed bridle foil from Ozone http://www.flyozone.com/landkites/en/ne ... nes/15824# It is my understanding that this kite is to compete with the higher performance traction kites like the Blades, Reactors etc. It also has technology filtered down from their break through "bbhpp" paraglider design! http://www.flyozone.com/performance/ (without the thin carbon spars of course ) Cheers, Peace p.s. Joel, you are more than welcome to turn this into a news article if you like.

However(!!) have found myself thinking about it more and more - and successfully achieving turns less and less So please explain (girlie stylie ) what i am supposed to be doing with buggy and kite Thank you

A lot of 'individuals' seem to be in need of teaming up! Me TOO! Gray's looking for general team members before the weekend if possible. How about sorting it out from here and going forward? Kev's already sorted in the Youthful Yokels and sugested the 'Dad's' might be an option! Nev, Rich are you two sorted yet? fancy an 'Also Rans Team'? as the whipper snappers seem to be wipeing the floor with us this year! :D

Today I thought I would take a trip to Weston to try out my new kites. I have flown on this beach for 10 years and never had a problem before, I used to be a regular but these days I only go occasionally. Now though there seems to be a new regime in power that believes in exclusion rather than inclusion. Because I am not a member of their club they employed the bully boy tactics of getting the ranger to tell me to leave even though everyone there knows I am a member of the Fed and PKA and therefore have the correct insurance. What would have been better at least would of been a quiet approach and being asked to join the club. Although I don’t see why I should be forced…
