We did mate, you missed a blinder.

Powering up the 5m and being slingshoted out of the corners is a feeling hard to discribe. Its like being shot out of a cannon.

You will sooooooo want a buggy once you get that 4.7 in the air.

We buggied in Essex on Friday , What must be the best session yet .

Frayz , Dazza , & i started about 3pm & were packing up in the dark AGAIN !! You just know it has been a good session .

Took a reading of the wind when we arrived a steady 15mph gusting to 25mph , Frayz set up his 3.5m Rage , I Braved the 5m Blurr , After 10 mins with the 5m it was to much for me lol , Found i was geting pulled sideways rather than forward & it was hard going , So back to base & set up the new 3.5m Blurr that had just arrived @ Tiny hq @ 2.30pm that day


Arhhhhhhh that was better the new 3.5m Blurr was simply awesome in the wind & Frayz & Dazza & myself had one hell of a time ripping it up & down the field , Bantering each other as we went past

It was one of those days when you needed both kites set up & ready to fly , As the wind dropped of both of us flew the 5m Blurr's side by side up & down , With WRX Dazza entertaining us with his buggy antics with his Beemer 3 4m

An awesome time was had by us all , Saturday Frayz & i tried again but in just 4-8mph wind it really was hard going , Downwind was ok but heading back upwind was near impossible , Frayz was managing ok with his 5m blurr , But my 18 stone frame was struggling to get pulled along , We had an hour with a few kids over the park ,teaching then the basics of static flying with the blurrs

LOL Mate i agree it dont sound alot , But ..

At just 2" of the floor no suspension 3 wheels & no brakes a 5 mtere kite in 20 mph winds it's scary stuff , The time you turn & head back it's time to turn again

Roll on a proper beach were we can just roll & roll , These buggies reach 50mph in expereinced users hands

It really is a joy to watch , Buggy drifting

Yeah baby, buggy drifting is so cool. Wont be long bigboy. Youre getting there. I saw you hang the back end out once or twice.

And totally agree on 22mph. Any one of you would be cacking it i bet. Its not exactly for the faint hearted.

Great fun
