It was my second last run of the day and I was battering along the beach at just under 40mph when a landboarder about 50 metres in front of me decided to pull a jump without looking behind her:(
Needless to saw they fluffed the jump and the kite fell directly into my path so it was either take evasive action or run the kite over.
I turned hard to my right to avoid the kite but in doing so sent my kite way behind me so I had to basically emergency stop the buggy before i got ripped out the back - I had been doing them all day like the picture above without any problems but this time with me turning the buggy hard to the right to avoid the kite I had come onto the soft sand near the dunes on the beach:mad:
So as you can imagine sending the buggy sideways at 35mph in very dodgy sand isn't the best of idea's:D Next thing I know I'm lying on the sand with a T3 ontop of me:cool:
Ped:D
Mine was quite similar. I was pushing and pushing for more speed and leaving it later and later before turning, I was doing over 40 when it went. I think i've found the speed limit in the turns. I was lucky as the lad who was following me said it launched into the air and landed at the other side of me with a big hole in the sand where it landed, i'm glad it was not me it landed on.
BTW John, Carl said the groove's are the best money he has spent in ages.
