  1. One front forks and tandem kit picked up and on its way into the depths of Norfolk!
  2. Craig if there is any issues with yours I could get me hands on at least two of the tandem kits we used to use at wallop (mine and skydudes) Well built and no issues with control. Let me know on 07702266642 if you need one. Can't keep my phone me all day at work but will check it at intervals.
  3. Dam it double post! It's too early I need more coffee!
  4. On most journeys I'd be looking at about 28mpg. That's not great but when you way up that you can fit 4 kiters and all the gear you need for a long weekend away in France in it, only fill it once the whole time your away an can get home (I'm near Cambridge) on just the one tank of fuel, it works out pretty darn good. @The geoff - Yeah some people do blur out the reg, most don't. Didn't see it being an issue.

  6. Bugger! Most likely coz its a mobile link As will this be!! Darn technology! http://autotrader.mobi/used-cars/advert/201211304465985/viewing-0/0?PHPSESSID=4cetlbs44m3snic8skvgatep15 The picture should work though :-)
  7. I've put a post in the for sale section but I figured a quick post here wouldn't hurt :-) It's been by kite wagon for nearly 5 years and has been a real versatile van over the years, but sadly I'm having to sell my MPV. Below is a link to the Auto Trader advert online. But as I'm taking here to kiters you need to know more info than the average buyer. Firstly let me tell you this van is a real gem. You can remove the back row of seats and rotate the middle CAPTAIN SEATS!!! and I have been able to fully load the van with 4 boards, three buggies, enough room for as many kites as you and all your kiting mates would ever need in a weekend enough camping gear for 5, spare parts and everything you need for a weekend kiting AND still have room for 4 people. It's truly been a great kite wagon. The reason for selling is I'm not using it so much since my baby son was born, so had to down grade :-( would like to sell to a Kiter, so I know it'll be treated the same as its used to :-) Extra bonus, you can throw a standard flexi buggy in the back, with the rear seats out, without having to take a single wheel off!!!

  8. Nicely done Chris. Glad you have been abelto adapt the system. its ideas like this that keeps things progressing and developing.
  9. Get your butt over to Royston, 10 mins from Cambridge, Jamie and we can teach you all you need to know about flying your kite and buggying. Once ready you can jump into any of our Buggys. Just PM me. Mark

    Yeah it was But yes you will feel more connected to the buggy with a 3PB. Most move to a 2PB coz you are more free to move about as you are more restricted with 3. And yes, the 3PB will de clutter your lap and will be easier to find the quick release. Good luck in your build.

    I wont make comment and try to sell my belts here....though i think i just have. I more interested in why your going from a lap belt to a 3 point? most go the other way round?
  12. You may have flown with (Mark) Sparkie, if he flew back then or Kelly and Butch?? If so Mark and Kelly are still about and Butch is back in NZ. I flew up the Gogs a few times but then they went and banned buggies etc a few years ago so stopped.
  13. Nicely done dude! Great vid and fantastic looking kite!
  14. Just a shameful pimp for this years event, but its a bloody good vid if you havent seen it!
  15. I can only say that everyone must understand that despite what we all know about the dangers of tethered flying there will be some people that do not see those dangers. I can only hope that those who know it is dangerous ensure that they continue to let everyone they meet, who might even mention the idea, know that people have died doing this. At Wallop in 2003 we raised money, that i sent to Lee's mum, following his death. that she put with money she raised and purchased items for the A+E that tried to help him. She told me that following the incident most of his internal organs had been damaged, beyond any repair!!!!! If i remember right he was flying across the road from a Ambulance station, and they just couldnt help, no matter how fast they got to him. Im also surprised no one has mentioned Team Adrenalize and their main trick!!!
  16. Seat belts still selling. Have a few left for those last minute gifts to yourself!!!!
  17. Belts are not out of stock, we just don't allow instant online sales, we like to ensure those buying the belts have the correct experience as far as we can check. Cheers for the promo.
  18. Hi Andrew Its good that you want to get into buggy freestyle, but Batz is right, you need to progress to a good standard with ground based skills first. Jumping isn't just about going up and coming down again. When you jump you need to be skilled enough so that when you: come back down at the wrong angle, the wrong speed, the wrong direction you are skilled enough to instantly know which way to turn the buggy, where to put the kite and how to position yourself in the buggy. Your kite bag in your sig says that you don't have the right kites for jumping or freestyle. But dont take the comments here as a negative. Yeah you have got to start somewhere but get your ground skills down first, otherwise your first experience could end you up in A+E. Yes you can buy buggy belts on here, and they are a top quality product with many of the top uk riders using them, but i would say that coz I'm the guy they got them all from. I reserve the right not to sell buggy belts to people who i don't think are ready for them yet, and i would certainly say your not ready mate. keep getting out their and getting those ground skills down. You may progress quickly and in which case then get yourself one. Keep going dude.
  19. Could sit here all day suggesting apps but just get on the app store and "app it up" just download the free versions first and see if you find them any good. When I got this iphone (using taptalk now) I asked which to get and found just downloading loads was better. With those comments in mind get (lol): •Star walk (paid app) but brilliant just point it at the night sky and bingo you can name every star you can see!! •Angry Birds •eBay •Pay pal •XC Weather •RAC Traffic (all the traffic jams on a google map) •sky+ (set shows to record from your phone) •Wikipedia •wikihow And so many more!!
  20. Sold three belt in the last week ladies and gents! Get em while they are hot!
  21. Not too sure about Friday, but I could be about, just say where. Same goes for Sunday.
  22. Having been the 2007 unofficial film show winner (no budget for prizes but Mike and Mell said i would have have LOL) I would say you would have been in with a chance! Not bad
