Snake Posted January 31, 2004 Report Posted January 31, 2004 trying to learn on your own is a pain in the butt. go to your local flying area or beach , just introduce yourself most buggiers are friendly and only to glad to help. also pads,helmet and a big box of pain killers are a must not much help I know ,hope it helps. just take it easy and enjoy , when u get the hang of it you will grin from ear to ear for days on end.

bigred1599968607 Posted January 31, 2004 Report Posted January 31, 2004 make sure the kite is always infront of ur shoulders Quote
oc1rob Posted January 31, 2004 Report Posted January 31, 2004 If the kite keeps falling out the sky turn the buggy away from the kite to restore tension in the lines Quote
Jonny3.3blade Posted January 31, 2004 Report Posted January 31, 2004 Keep going at it buggying is a progresion and it takes time as I found and im still learning after 2yrs of doing it and snakes definetley right pads helmets are essential. Jonny Quote
Paul_C Posted January 31, 2004 Report Posted January 31, 2004 One of the power kite mags had a few pages with some tips on how to buggy. I kinda use what I've read + what I've learn't + watching others, keep at you'll be like some of these flash gits who can go backwards quicker than I can go forwards:D -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4m Predator 2 2.5 Bullet 2.2 HQ Symphony 40 Sky Tiger PL buggy Harness 'n' skid lid Quote
Kat Posted January 31, 2004 Report Posted January 31, 2004 See if you can find some buggiers to fly with. You cant beat a bit of experience plus they will be able to tell you all you do right / wrong. Above all though dont give up..however many times you fall out/ cant do it/get dragged down the beach on ya face (or is that just me??) keep going...cos when you crack it you will grin like a loon...its taken me 3 months just to be able to turn properly...and it feels great:D Quote

And have learnt a lot from him But most of all fly as much as poss, watch video clips as much as poss, and fly with others and watch them plus have a good kite to buggy with aswell dave Quote
jdp Posted February 4, 2004 Report Posted February 4, 2004 I wanted to know as well but luckily I have a dad who is crazy over kites and has a buggy. I think its good to have a kite crazy dad because he said when he'sOLD AND GREY(which wont be long!) I can get his kite kit! jdp(Jake) Brother Dave 1 Quote
MadAndy71 Posted February 6, 2004 Report Posted February 6, 2004 There are a few sites around with some 'how to'' links, text and moving diagrams. Mabe someone will post them up here are perhaps a search on the forums will throw them up. Just remember its like learning to ride a bike. Easy when you know how. Just need to get a balance between you, the kite and the buggys position. And it hurts when you fall out! Quote
