[timG]

hi

iim off on holiday next week to do some buggying and i was wondering if there are any fairly easy tricks which look good because i would like to move onto freestyle but don't know where to start

cheers

can you do any already or are you a total novice?

[timG]

i can do power slides and i have been doing buggying for about 2 years but havn't tried any tricks so i have reasonable control with my buggy.

[carltb]

ok start off with going backwards then try 2 wheels then 360's

[timG]

thanks

i know how to keep balance when on 2 wheels but how do you get on 2 wheels in the first place?

cheers

Flick the front wheel towards the wind and shift body weight over rear wheel closest to kite...walla, either 2 wheeling, a skid or ull topple over to much. :-) Keeping the kite high helps.

Ye give it a wee redirect.

Last month before a broke my leg freestyleing i managed to go from flag to flag at st andrews which is about a mile. You get used to popping up on two wheel and just working the kite like normal.

the secret to 2 wheels is once up steer upwind to keep the wheel up and down wind to put it down - using that technique you can do it very controlled and uder powered.

360`s are just 2 180`s - start by traveling in reverese and 180 out faceing the kite once happy spin away from the kite - then move on to front 180s!

On my first ever proper buggy sesh I managed to power slide, go two wheeled, mono on the front wheel, ride backwards, 180 and 360 (all unhooked).

 

 

 

Ok every move was involuntary and completely uncontrolled but my 5 years experienced mate (who's gear I was using, flexi buggy and Blade IV 6.5) found it highly entertaining (was pissing himself).

I think that you can get on alot better in a buggy if you have been flying a long time. I was about three months flying 2-4 times a week then i managed to save up for my buggy and i masterd going back and forward and slideing a bit.

But my mum just grabed my kite and buggy but could only go down wind. But it clicked when she got her rage and flexibuggy

You could try going backwards too. Pretty basic but looks good.

 

Buggy along at speed, then flick the front wheel as if to powerslide/drift, but instead of flicking the wheel upwind you flick it downwind and suddenly your going backwards without any loss of speed.

The ladies go mad for that sort of thing.
