Yo Loki, I live in Leamington Spa and one of the locations I fly at is Warwick Racecourse. As long as there isn't a race meeting on, and you watch out for the model aeroplanes and dog walkers, then it's OK. If there is any wind about, then you'll get it at the Racecourse. Static flying is fine whatever wind direction - although South Easterly is messy as it "comes" over the town of Warwick. I have kite landboarded there - on an area of mown grass (about the size of two football pitches) Haven't buggied there yet - you would need a BigFoot buggy as (apart from the mown area), the rest of the location is grass from 8 inches to 4 foot high. Might give that a try in the Winter. Let me know when you are in the area. cheers jon

I have a Bomba 10.5 which I intend to use for kitesurfing (I have just taken lessons). I would like to add LEIs to my quiver, and so want to know what LEI size would a 10.5 Bomba equate to? I know it's a tricky quesiton to answer, but is it equivalent to a 9m LEI, 10m, 11m, 8m, or what? I weigh about 10 and half stone. any advice welcome. thanks jon

I'm thinking of getting a strong buggy capable of handling wide tyres. So I'm trying to work out the differences between the Libre Truck and Supertruck buggies. Here's what I currently understand: a) Both the Truck and the Supertruck are available with either BigFoots or BigFoot Lites. b) Both the Truck and the Supertruck can have slick or knobbly tyres. c) Both the Truck and the SuperTruck have a 135cm rear axle. d) The Truck is based on the Libre V-MAX frame with the Libre V-MAX seat. e) The Supertruck is based on the Libre Full Race frame with the Full Race seat. However, it does not have the camber or track adjustment. They seem pretty similar to me. What are the real differences between the Truck frame and the SuperTruck frame seeing that they both have the same axle width, and neither has camber/track adjustment? Is the Full Race seat much more comfy than the V-MAX seat? Are there any other reasons why someone should spend the extra cash on a SuperTruck? thanks jon
