Badger Posted February 16, 2008 Report Posted February 16, 2008 The 24hr is apparently good fun. i've been to hoy a few times, and anything less than bigfoot lights is not recomended, as it's really soft, I've even had a bigfoot light on the front and it still sank one race!! So unless full bigfoots it's not worth going. edit; For a race, best one for you would be the Pembrey one - barrows is a perfect set up and can camp all togetherThat's useful information cheers, I have also been considering the trip but with a standard Flexi bug (barrows or midis) that would kind of rule it out for me . Steve.
avspider Posted February 16, 2008 Report Posted February 16, 2008 http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=aBMtCEE50Tw who needs wimpo (cough cough) depower kite stunts on you tube when you got stuff like this!:eek: Don't forget the wimpo harness as well:eek: Personally I'd prefer an Ulitima GTR can-am, 4 wheels and mentally fast:eek:

Steve. Midi's maybe ok, but I wouldn't bother, I'm struggling to justify going for the supercup there - with midi's on. A 24hr race in a non fully kited up race buggy... no thanks:eek:
T595 Posted February 16, 2008 Report Posted February 16, 2008 the weather man says it's going to be 13mph westerly tomorrow, this is also the case at PS so i might see you at LH again (as i can't be ar$ed to drive, might take my baby out for a blast though). What time you thinking of going to LH wide axle boy? And what do you think of this (yes yes i know it's not your thing but is the price ok?) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=120222732648&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=002

What time you thinking of going to LH wide axle boy? Which weather forecast you looking at HARLEY rider?? (Harley's are for the larger rider lol) As most say 9mph EASTERLY. Be lunchtime ish:eek:
avspider Posted February 16, 2008 Report Posted February 16, 2008 Before buying a trampa deck, check which ply it is, and ask in the landpoofboarding area to make sure suitable ply for you *note; I know VERY little about boards but it looks nice*
T595 Posted February 16, 2008 Report Posted February 16, 2008 DOH!!!! It LOOKED like it was westerly but it's obviously done by someone who lives at the north pole. Of course if actually put the pointer of the top then i would have the proper answer. http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?id=3471

avspider Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 Try going to a kite shop and trying some on
martin Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 You should be able to get a semi-decent harness for 40-50 quid. The nearest shop to try on would be TKUK in Southsea skate park.
