lickedysplit_au Posted July 26, 2007 Report Posted July 26, 2007 Hi Guys, Who's up for a Saturday session this week??? Wind is looking buggyable before lunch so an early start is probably going to be the go. Riverwood looks like the location at the moment unless anyone is keen to try the Walgrove Rd location. Troy P.S Sunday looks SH#T Quote
ScoobyRob Posted July 26, 2007 Report Posted July 26, 2007 I should be about saturday, will keep an eye on here for updates:yes3: Quote
Luke Posted July 26, 2007 Report Posted July 26, 2007 Ill be coming for a while but not buggying, in replace of my buggy I will be bringing my puppy instead he takes up the same amount of room as my kite gear Quote
schmik Posted July 26, 2007 Report Posted July 26, 2007 Excellent... if i can get out i'll bring my dog.... rocket can baby sit! mike Quote
Luke Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 you guys decided yet where you are meeting tomorrow.......... Quote
lickedysplit_au Posted July 27, 2007 Author Report Posted July 27, 2007 Looking like a decent Westerly tommorrow, so I am pretty sure you will be able to run the long way at Rverwood and would be good to get another good session out there. I will be heading out there fairly early prolly 9 - 9:30. Troy Quote
schmik Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 I'll get out there too.... never been before. I'll be there as soon as the missus lets me off the leash. Any tips on where i enter / park ? mike Quote
lickedysplit_au Posted July 27, 2007 Author Report Posted July 27, 2007 We parked on Kentucky Rd last week and walked through. Here is a link to the map in the locations page - http://www.extremekites.com.au/glocation.php?lat=-33.9456&lng=151.0444&zm=14 Troy Quote
robmueck Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 I'll see you there. If the wind is not strong enough then I might head to Yarra. Low tide is at lunchtime. Quote
rowdyblue Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 Just doing scissors paper rock with my wife to see who gets the kid and/or the car. I am planning on getting to Riverwood in the morning though... we're up to best out of 327. (I'll win eventually) Incidentally, there's a bit of rain here at the moment - I'm only 10 minutes down the road from Riverwood - but it doesn't seem to be too heavy. Quote

Don't worry about the rain it will just make the ground softer to land on and let the buggies slide Quote
rowdyblue Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 I quite like the idea of mud - I grew up outside of Orange and spent most weekends ridng dirt bikes in the forest nearby. Back in the days when rain was plentiful, that meant heaps of mud in winter and I gotta say, this whole buggying thing takes me back about 20 years (it feels weird just to say that). Anyway, paper scissors rock is now up to best out of 529... see y'all tomorrow......... Quote
robmueck Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 Its 5:30am and the wind ain't good. Could someone out that way please report. Quote
ScoobyRob Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 Morning Rob Just had a call from that way saying there is a light breeze at the moment and is forecast to increase Me and Rocket are meeting up at Mona Vale Rd and Forrest Way about 9-30 if you want to join us Quote
Luke Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 hey guys, a few photos from today........ as for me........ I am back with a vengeance in two weeks to turn gravity upside down Rocket Quote
lickedysplit_au Posted July 28, 2007 Author Report Posted July 28, 2007 Some great pics there Luke! Had some good fun today, got pretty hairy at times but was all went well in the end. Lets hope the wind keeps getting better - So who's towing me next time??? Troy Quote
rowdyblue Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 I'm currently sitting somwhere between disappointed:( (that I didn't have much time out there today) or glad (that I finally got at least a few good runs in and started to get a feel for how everything works). I was starting to really figure things out and needed a bit more time in the buggy to keep working things out, but I was already out of time - so that was that. Hey, sorry if it seemed like I left abruptly, I wasn't meaning to be rude by not saying goodbye to y'all - I was just out of time and had to go. Anyway, did have a good time while I was there and I'm looking forward to the next session, which might be the odd afternoon after school for the next few weeks as my weekends are gone for a couple of weeks. Some good pics there Luke Quote
lickedysplit_au Posted July 28, 2007 Author Report Posted July 28, 2007 Just looked at what it was blowing at Bankstown today some of those gusts came in at 26knots - not too shabby, with a wind speed of about 15 knots all day. Quote
schmik Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 That was fun today. Bloody gusty but great fun. It did seem to smooth out a little as the arvo went on but i had had enough by then. Some of the loftings make you wonder if it is worth. At the time it seems like NOT but once your home and on the couch you think 'damn... let me at it again'. Rocket... you wanted to catch an OBE on camera. Well you left too early. How good is this effort by rob? The 7m bullet looked like it was a handful but he had some great runs on it. Seems like one and all had fun today. mike Quote
robmueck Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 Thanks for your company guys. Troy, thanks for suggesting the meet and loaning your 7m bullet. I wanted to point out the low pressure in my buggy tyres. If you look at the photos mike took you can see the tyre deform and both sides of the rim. Can't say I notice any difference in speed or notice it too much in the slides. I can hear it deform sometimes. I have it this low as it seems to work better for me on the sand. The only draw back is that the inside of the tyre fills with sand and rubbish, which at speed can vibrate like mad when unbalanced. Quote
lickedysplit_au Posted July 28, 2007 Author Report Posted July 28, 2007 No worries Rob, just looking at Micks pics (awsome pics BTW Mick!) the one of you getting lofted, hope that is all dirt on your trousers Good effort with the 7m in the conditions, imagine how fast you would have gone with some air in your tires!! Troy Quote
Luke Posted July 29, 2007 Report Posted July 29, 2007 Great photos schmik, nice capture of that bullet taking him for a ride skyward. Troy........ your looking very pro these days, your two wheelers look in control and with zero effort required, nice work! Time you strapped in and take it to another level great stuff!!!!! Quote
lickedysplit_au Posted July 29, 2007 Author Report Posted July 29, 2007 Ha ha not sure about pro Rocket but definately getting there, looking forward to a session on the beach!!! Quote
Luke Posted July 29, 2007 Report Posted July 29, 2007 I was thinking last night (on panadol forte of course) that maybe the Sydney guys could vote once a month for the "most improved award" just a casual lighthearted thing decided among everybody at the end of each month at a buggy session and all pitch in for a case of beer or bottle of your fave poison! And perhaps the monthly best OBE award also. Quote
schmik Posted July 29, 2007 Report Posted July 29, 2007 or all chip in for 'special massage' to ease the aches and pains. hahaha mike Quote
