JKS Posted October 10, 2011 Report Posted October 10, 2011 As one of Daves main sponsors for his latest speed record ... I would like to congratulate him on a wonderful result. Quote
Dave Shepp Posted October 11, 2011 Report Posted October 11, 2011 Cheers guy's it was an absolute blast to fire up the Cougar with my speed2, hell of a difference compared to being on barrows in a flexi. Thanks heaps for the use of your buggy Marty Quote

gum-nuts Posted January 4, 2012 Report Posted January 4, 2012 Day of work today so went out in the buggy, still no new 3m kite, so was using the 5m Flow with the PL comp xr+. The wind was forecast as 25kph with gusts to 40, so was seriously powered up! A bit scary harnessed in - managed two firsts though, my first buggy jump - entirely unintentional and a 360 spin in the buggy then kept going! again not fully intended, but awesome! Spent some time after that going around the course for the land yachts, building my confidence and speed in the harness and over-powered! And lots of going sideways :-) Did manage a new PB, so close to 60kph now! Quote
JKS Posted January 4, 2012 Report Posted January 4, 2012 Nice one Gum nuts .... nothing quite like the unexpected How long before you reckon you crack 60 ? Quote

Goz Posted January 4, 2012 Report Posted January 4, 2012 Nice one gum-nuts, that's a fair bit of kite in those winds. The 3m will have you hooking over the 60k Quote

jabroni Posted November 13, 2012 Report Posted November 13, 2012 Updated Just need to go a bit faster now to make page 1... http://popeyethewelder.com/world-kite-b ... ctstart=51 Quote
buggy boy Posted November 15, 2012 Report Posted November 15, 2012 Thats really moving! you made my day as I took delivery of a new 4m Access early this week and wouldn't have thought it would be capable of that sought of speed.Whats makes it more impressive is that speed in a PL MKII Buggy! Does your Buggy have a standard width rear axle? and what wheels and tyres are you running? Cheers Matt Quote
jabroni Posted November 15, 2012 Report Posted November 15, 2012 I'm using a wide axle, midis on the rear and standard wheel on the front. Also I've got a custom back rest. The 4m Access is a lot of fun - it lets you safely use crazy winds. It does however get you hooked on big wind days... Quote
Goz Posted November 17, 2012 Report Posted November 17, 2012 Well done on the new PB Jabs, that's moving in the PL Quote
sluggo Posted December 13, 2012 Report Posted December 13, 2012 Yesterday at Kingscliffe Peter Lynn Vapor 5.4 Flexi wide axle buggy Quote
andy666 Posted December 13, 2012 Report Posted December 13, 2012 Nice work Sluggo. Everybody's PB's are starting to creep up lately. Looks like 70 is the new 60 Quote
Goz Posted December 13, 2012 Report Posted December 13, 2012 Well done Sluggo, about time you got all the power down to the ground Quote
OBEwan Posted January 29, 2013 Report Posted January 29, 2013 OK I'll grudgingly post this one. This was with a 4m Ozone Access in about 30knots riding a Peter Lynn Outlaw Buggy on barrows. I was chasing a ticket to the 70kmh club. I did a run on the DRY LAKE at Kingston SE South Australia last week and got a respectable 69.1kmh. I knew I could go higher if I just got my line right and scored that extra gust at the right moment. Then the wind gods smiled upon me and I was off! The ride was so smooth that I had time to watch the GPS....69.0....69.1...still accelerating....69.2...69.3....another gust, I felt the buggy accelerate again...69.4....then BLANK.....GPS battery went flat. Forgive me if I don't look elated in the photo below Quote
DJ_Sylk Posted January 30, 2013 Report Posted January 30, 2013 This is the best one i remembered to photograph. top Speed 73.9 Quote
