  1. have you tried adjusting the brake lines as mine sits okay but is a bit jumpy when staked in high winds but i do have my trailing lines quite tight so a little pull on them brings it straight down
  2. this is slowly getting me down as my flying site has become infested with beginners and no one knows how to downt turn let alone spin so my question is you already know how do i spin? 180 deg no problem but 360 deg are a mare maybe im not pushing myself hard enough though i still come out nearly every session! no offense to the beginners! have watched vids and searched. AARRGGHH!
  3. swansea! not to far away from pembrey and if the ban is lifted pendine!!!!!
  4. just bought my libre harness today and is very nice i tried a few harnesses but this is by far the best! bought for £60 including spreader from www.celtickites.co.uk

    inland?

    some nice person decided to crash into the back of my car last thursday and as a result iwas given a very small courtesy car wanted to go buggying down my lovely clean winded beach and realised i couldnt fit the buggy into this effort of a car so i decided to just grab my 6.6 blade and head off down my local common,got there with not much wind blowing but decided to launch the beast anyway then lo and behold some wind,then no wind then wind and no wind...... this got a bit frustrating,no control when trying to jump wind it up for a jump and NOTHING! how i missed my beach just wondered if u inland flyers feel this frustration all the time? though i should add the unpredictability of it all did give it a bit of an edge (think i pulled off my highest jump)

    Goggles

    seen a nice pair of glasses that can be converted to goggles theyre called adidas elevation climacool look very sweet but r a bit pricey think/hope to get a pair soon!!
  8. no worries i had a 3hour session today with no harness and my arms r still aching time i bought a harness also had my eye on a quadrifoil look a bit uncomfortable though but doesnt look to restrictive while sitting in the buggy???
  9. you need a thing people call a strop this is attached to the top of your handles and then hooks into your harness.alot of people use a length of climbing rope the length is dependable on your arm length but you need to be able to unhook quickly,if u search these forums it will all become clear!!!
  10. ,i'm getting a bit frustrated now i have been trying to 360 spin in my buggy for a few weeks but cant quite do it anybody have some good tips on how to do this as i cant seem to find anything on the web that is helpful,any advice would be helpful!
