perhaps putting some bigger racing tyres like the ones on the Kite deck quadraltion (sp?)

 

btw did you have any speed wobbles?

Yeah i think bigger ones would of done the trick to be honest.... or some more wind, lol....

 

RE-Speedwobbles, was asked that when i finnished... didnt have any at all.. and did a good run couple of times from one end of black rock to the other... That was using my MBS and 12m

over 30mph must be quite a ride !! I have a speedo on mine and have been over 20mph on occasion and it feels V quick. Were you on a beach or grass?

Yeah it feels like your going a lot faster than what you are... bit of a buz though... was on a beach... raining a bit aswell at the time...

managed 27 mph, no speed wobble at all riding a series 2 flexdeck although that was on crappy surface were i mainly fly all the time! (bumpy)

wanted to try and break the 30mph zone at the x-games but only went up on the sunday and covered 0.5 of a mile before my speedo stopped working-damm thing! then i blew a bearing so wasnt at all happy!

 

how accurate do you think a speedo is?..... say i was doing 30mph what do you think my real speed would be?

was talking about this on the way home... as for example if the surface area of the wheel you have to program in is out by just a little bit, i would think that would make a massive difference... as the wheel would be spinning hundreds/thousands of times... making it out by quite a bit... over all...

 

The other thing we was saying is the wheels would be sliding quite a bit.. few different things there i would say to account for....

 

think other than a car or gps is the best best if you really want an accurate reading...

Thats a good speed, that beats Butches 34.2mph that we clocked him at with a gps, but I have been told that he has been clocked at 39mph on a Kitedeck Quadrolution, someone will break the 40mph soon

 

 

Keep it up, but be safe

40mph is definately the benchmark. Have done a 35 myself and saw Neil set his speed yesterday. To be fair the beach wasnt in the best of shape for a speed run as there were loads of damp patches, sure you,d have gone faster on a nice dry day mate:)

got up to just over 30 mph. was using a 4m blade 2 going down hill alongside the road up beachy head, with my dad going in the car to measure the speed! (had to tighten the trucks up and keep low to stop the wobbles)

58.9mph yesterday - towed behind a car, on the Dirtsurfer Flexi:eek: - Thats clocked on a calibrated speedo...

 

Wicked vids taken by me, as I rode!- but they're on 8mm & I don't have a framerabber card - yet...

 

With a kite, done 30Mph on the 4.9 Blade, then ran out of field...
