Blade rider

You feel where the kite is and just aim toward the course beckons. Flying by your instinks is fun, and once yours eye adjust it's incredible how much you can achualy see even in the pitch black.

I did the Holake 24 hr race with Waroo's, whilst Fixed bridles in the right wind will produce more power, the variability of a waroo (and other bows) give more controlable power. Do my best speeds with a bow!!!!!!! I brought them for the same reason as you, I wanted to get out on the water but also wanted a depowerable for land based kite boarding, at the time i didn't realize it would be so awsome in a buggy as well

Even more excited seeing as I am going to be there (well in the park watching on the big screen) We had a road trip to Les Hemmes booked months ago, and with the wind looking very light we may head down to Paris. at worst we will be in one of the local pubs teh atmosfer is going to be great.

I have been impressed by all the flysurer kites I have seen and flown. The Speed IS awsome. My mate Rog has the 5, 7 & 10 The only negative thing I can say about them is the amount of material in them, lot's & lot's of kite for it's size.

If you missed it you missed out. FANTASTIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bring on next year:D :D

Nice to see some of you guys over at our kite park. Well how did you find it? Buggy Paul your asked for wind, and wind you got, and we had more on Sun, and all CLEAN westly. Jack (Sorry if i got your name wrong) YOU ROCK mate, saw you doing some awsome stuff. Norm, nice to meet you, see you soon. Until the next time, Probably be our Barleylands Xmas do!!! Don't worry I will bring the Patio Heater again.

I never really felt that I abused my PL. I straightened my axle on a press. I didn't measure the force required to straightened it by for sure it didn't require 8 tons. I thought someone would ask about colours mxkiter. Seven of us as the sponsored UAE kite buggy team went on the Australian Birdsville Buggy Bash in 2003. This was a 520 km buggy ride of sorts from Marree in South Australia to Birdsville in Queensland. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a394/Sand-Yeti/UAETeam02.jpg Our red suits were given to us by one of our sponsors and we had to get pics along with stories to give to our sponsors on our return. I'm second on the right in the pic. We elected one of the Sheikhs from the UAE ruling family who is a great bloke & enthusiastic kiter as our Captain (4th from the right). To get into the spirit of the event and to help put the UAE on the map, I painted my buggy all the colours of the national flag (red, black, green & white), which you can see in the above pic. To be honest it made it look like 5h!t. It rained in the Flinders mountains, which we crossed on the 700 km ride from Adelaide to Marree, which made the track, us & all our gear very muddy. So it was a waste of time painting the buggy because you couldn't see them anyway. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a394/Sand-Yeti/TareqTrailer.jpg Tareq in the pic was part of our team and is a local UAE Arab. My modified PL made it to Birdsville without problems: Note the green down-tube, white forks, red axle. There's some black painted somewhere. I took a rigid as well as a sprung axle to Aussie. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a394/Sand-Yeti/PLMod.jpg I'm sitting to the left in someone else's buggy. Still have to tell you about the cr@ppy PL rear sprung axle yet. Not normal GENERAL USE then, little bit more than a a weekend ride in the park. or a trip to the coast for a blat up the beach. Come on: I firmly believe in giving people the facts if something is not up to the job, but a standard PL cost a little over £200 new, hardly what you should buy if your taking it to these sorts of limits. (IMHO) What you have done and achieved is fantastic, but what your doing now is a bit bad realy.

Same here: Tandam the kids Did 38 Mph in mine at Camber Now cut it down for my 6 year old to learn in. Yes it's starting to show a few twist and bends but I have had all of my £130 worth out of it and more! I am sorry to hear of the nasty falls people have been having, but lets not forget it is a dangerous sport, and if you start taking it to the limit you have to buy the best equipement, and a standard PL buggy was not designed for jumping!! Adding big foots adds pressure to welds as they grip more than standard barrows. Rather than spending loads of money on a buggy you clearly hate, (Because you have progressed further than it's designed use) buy a new buggy and continue to progress, that's what I did. worked for me.

His name is Robbie, quite well known around the kiting seen about 10 years old, not bad at kiting. if you see him please call 0800 ...........

Red & Grey Give Me your e-mail address and I can send your a picture PS Blade ride is the home name of Slipstream.
