Well done big guy

 

See things got a little interesting today

 

FFS the FF still down.

Not sure how much longer i can trawl scoobynet for

 

great to be out with you boys yesterday, always makes it a good day.

I personally had a s*** day with the kites/buggy.....but it's all part of learning. I have to learn not to be to hard on myself, i expect to pick things up straight away....

ho hum roll on next weekend

 

Lol at FF being down, it's a nightmare!!! lol

 

Chin up fella.

You gotta remember its all new and will take time to get right. Its frustrating when you see everyone else apparantly doing it so easy but we all had to learn just like you are now.

I recomend getting a couple of sets of new lines this week so you can rely on them next weekend and not have to worry.

I'll spend some time with you next weekend and you'll be up to speed in no time

 

yep lines and killers breaking didnt help, but will have to get some new lines sorted.

Dont know if i will be able to get to a shop this week does the Bill fella have a website for his shop??

Cheers Frayz, must learn to walk before i can run and all that

 

Bill does have a website mate but its not particularly good. He's better off if you go and see him.

Maybe just give him a call. Explain what you want and he may even get them in the post to you.

 

Spally, seriously mate, its deffo worth having an hour with someone. (i would strongly recommend Bill, or anyone else from the club)

there is a lot more to buggying then flying the kite unfortunately, and i'm sure the others agree, there is a point where it just "clicks" into place.

as for safety, you really need to be in control of the kite at ALL times, especially when you are approaching the end of the field, you need to anticipate this and start getting the kite up high, in order to scrub the speed off. and then read the wind once more, knowing when to drop back down and either gently turn, or rip round like a catapult (you need to tell the kite what YOU want to do)
Believe me mate, i'm no expert, but i can get back to base and am 99% in control of the kite at all times....

learn the basics along with me and you'll be fine !!!

confidence is built on little goals in this game..

 

Ta Matey

Was another ***** out run from the archery field down to the bushes holding onto the 5m in to much wind , Still it sets a new PB for me & just about keeps me @ the top of the ESC Leauge

Wish i could get onto Flexi & let ptw Know


Oh hear it is read it & weep

 

LOL Just a bit mate

You certainly done well to land that on all 3 wheels

 

Yeah stick with it mate , It will just come promise

I Still think that there are a few little things we need to get adjusted on your buggy to make things just a little easier for you , Yep pick up some new lines & killers this week mate & roll on next weekend

 

Fozzie ..

Heres the Elbow pads you robbed of me ...



Dainese 3X Elbow Pads Only £29.74


£29 To you then

 

know what you are saying Dazza, it's just got frustrating for me as when out on Tiny or Frayz's buggies over the last few weeks seemed to be getting somewhere, but Saturday i just seemed to be going backwards...quite litteraly!!! lol

but will brush myself down and get cracking again next week

 

Id seriously lose the backrest for next weekend too dude. It pushes your weight forward causing the back end to become easily unhooked at thats whats causing your spin.

Get your seat nice and low and get comfortable in it. I know it sounds daft but get as comfy as you can in the buggy. Adjust it as many times as need be untill it feels a part of you. Also make sure you have a slight bend in your knees so you can not only get full lock easily but also use the footpegs to brace yourself in.

 

Touche

 

May seem a little pricey , But im 100% Sure they will not let you down , I use these on every kite i own & you have seen the abuse i like to give the kites in high winds
