Frayz, thanks for letting me fly a pair of your long-johns, and Tiny, thanks also for letting me loose on a pair of your French knickers (the skidmarks were definately all mine!!)

Got to admit, for a girly sport, it was bl00dy good fun

You were mate, awesome results with such little experience with it.

I just need to get a bit more comfortable and then id like another stab at it. Feels cool on your feet though.

You boys gotta try some pendulum jumps though, they feel mental when you get it right.

Yeah all joking aside Fozz , For your 2nd try i thought you done really well , I For one couldn't belive you was dragging alongside me for a bit whilst i was in the buggying

Just love the " Ripping you Bigboy " Comments

Feel fine today cosidering , Thighs just a liitle bruised of the siderails & that's about it , The new Buggy Bag side rail covers should sort that

Having so much fun & a great work out on your body @ the same time

Spally you have to wait for a moderator to authorise your resistration. They have to do it manually so you will get an email notification within a couple of days and you will be able to log on then.

Whats the diet coke mincer bought then?

Ross all pics available here

>>> 2008

Congrats on the 3.3m sting, i have one also. Wicked as a learner and great in silly winds, used it as a buggy engine in 30mph+ winds but i ran it on stronger lines/handles.

You'll want to upgrade the handles on it as theyre quite small as its a recce kite, you'll appreciate the bigger grips as it will be less tiresome on your hands.

Id go for a good 3.5m Spally, something like a Rage or Blurr if you can stretch to it.
Chances are you'll use that more than you will something like a 5m now winters coming and it will bring stronger winds that will render your 5m redundant lol.

There loads to choose from mate , We have a fair few selection between us now & our new found freinds @ BKP

Dont rush into anything ( Says me lol ) But you know what i mean

Try a few of ours matey , But for a Buggie engine really think your looking Flexi Blurr , Your size , Weight , Time of year etc .. IMHO You will not go far wrong with the 3.5M , But pay ya money & take ya pick

Oh & you got another pm on FF
