fatspider Posted March 31, 2010 Report Posted March 31, 2010 I liked the 'PTWs View' section on your Buggying Over 100mph link popeye, thanks for that - very interesting Robin Quote
popeyethewelder Posted April 1, 2010 Author Report Posted April 1, 2010 (edited) Ripsessions aka Ricardo also became the fastest pilot with one buggy, one kite and one passenger with 53.44mph 1 buggy,1 kite & 1 passenger record on the same day, his wife refused to comment afterward, as she was too busy telling him off, after he told her they would not go faster than 20mph lol..just kidding From Ricardos Blog Good news for me too in records!!! Kitebuggy Mama (Maria) and I did the “one pilot, one passenger, one kite” speed record. We got a new speed of 86 km/h!!!! First run was a test and we set off to the attempt the speed, and Maria was holding the GPS and yelling out speed numbers to me, at which point the digits were climbing. She says 73, 75, 82 and than yells out go faster. I cant believe the set of balls Maria has to hold onto the back of the buggy with no seat, no seat belt and just her helmet. We were using a Vapor 2.3m on 15m lines. Edited April 1, 2010 by popeyethewelder Quote

popeyethewelder Posted April 1, 2010 Author Report Posted April 1, 2010 Fastest Arie drove Peter Lynn’s Speed Buggy and went 115 km/h with it and its only been this fast since I’ve seen it in action. Guess that it truly does come down to pilot skill and also take all that extra rear weight of the buggy too. Funny how after Arie doing the speed run, he got back into a production XXtreme ApeXX and hit 116 km/h Ricardo's Blog NABX NEWS Quote
peteair1599968645 Posted April 2, 2010 Report Posted April 2, 2010 If there was enough wind for stephan to ride on a 2.4m PKD Combat then he would do over 100mph Quote
popeyethewelder Posted April 2, 2010 Author Report Posted April 2, 2010 Well....from what I have been hearing PL Vapors are the kites that are taking all the honors so far.... Have we any updates on the English team or the Flexi team? Quote
