Mark Everitt Posted July 24, 2004 Report Posted July 24, 2004 Ok bro her goes.... all i can say is dont do it just yet!!!!! how much experience do u have....??? As for the folding buggy it would to be blunt!!!! make a good head stone for u.... it will break before u put a seatbelt on it...... they are not designed for that sort of riding. Please don't try it yet. go and see some professionals in action and talk to them.... it not an easy thing to learn... it takes years to get it right.. i've been jumping for 5 years and am still learning.... people have broken backs doing buggy jumping wit not enough experince.... it looks good yeh but is't more dangerouse than any other freestyle.... If you wanna chat drop me a line. Take care have fun Mark hank and adrenmike 2 Quote

spooky Posted July 25, 2004 Report Posted July 25, 2004 Kennys right, it is not something you can just "have a go at"? You really need to get your kite skills spot on, as no room for error. Jumping is the relitivily easy part BUT landing? Due to your body postion it is harder to manuve in the air for landing facing down wind, so even if you are lucky and land the right way up, you are more likely to land at the wrong angle, so get punished/dragged/lifter out of the buggy. Also teh most dangerouse bit IMHO is the fact you have no cushioning on landing from your legs, your spine takes it all which at best can hurt an dat worst can paralise you!! IMHO get your skills up to speed, by which I meanbeing able to fly in all conditions, learn all the land based tricks ie 2 wheels/360 spins/reversing at speed (as you will need that one for jumping) etc first. Have fun, Jon P.s A Peter Lynn folding buggy??? Oh yes it will fold if you try and jump on it Quote
ADE and CAROL Posted July 25, 2004 Report Posted July 25, 2004 i agree with spooky and kenny ,,,,, have a chat with kenny if you are serious about trying it ,,, he is one of the top jumpers and got a lot of experience if you try and jump a pl folder then please prebook your hospital bed Quote
adrenmike Posted July 25, 2004 Report Posted July 25, 2004 same as already said bro, i only just learning, but a year ago there no way i thought i'd be in the air strapped in me buggy, talk to kenny or ade,before you go any further!!!!!!!!! and get a buggy thats up for the job, we've all bent ours Quote

How are you at going backwards, how about backwards and a 180 so ya face forewards, I been trying two wheels and turning 180 to go in the opposite direction (keeping the wheel off the ground) so the kite is on the same side as the up wheel, also, can you two wheel both sides, keep trying the hardest side so eventualy its just as easy both sides! If ya dont get pulled out now and again........ ya just not trying hard enough! Quote
Mark Everitt Posted July 28, 2004 Report Posted July 28, 2004 cooooool ! buggy jumps........ Would u happen to be a Ayr kite festival bro??? nice giffs Quote
grantyg Posted July 28, 2004 Report Posted July 28, 2004 Hello again Kenny, r u still missin the whisky? Cheers for the advice, I finally got a decent harness and with the new quick release strops am happy doing the full lot. Got my 2wheel 360 circle nailed, and spent ages trying out recovery positions. My advice to all is to take the experienced peoples opinion, I learnt tons by watching and they gave me great advice. I`m also a freestyle instructor but wouldn`t do jumping you need folk like kenny and rob who have years behind them. Grant mmmmm Balvennie Double Wood. p.s tell rob to stop stirring up the ayr boy racers massive! Quote
