i was thinking about his the other day, even if you plan to just cruise i personally think full face is the way to go. I mean if you are steaming along and come un stuck without one you are going to get a face full of dirt followed by possibly broken nose/cheek bone. Full face for me

 

i think i will invest in one too, keep the "pudding basin" for static flying

 

Lol, been making up my harness release today.

Cant wait till the weekend

 

i cant wait until i feel confident enough to get me one. I know from my windsurfing days, how much easier they make things.

 

Reserved you seat buddie

 

i dont think i'll be able to go to this as my arm is still in agony !!!!

 

hope your arm sorts itself out in time Dazza.

 

You'll be okay Daz, we got a week and a bit to go yet, and your arm wont hurt when harnessed up

 

Dont start all that Dazza , Need to "Rip ya Bigboy" Whilst flicking sand in your face as i go past

 

boy, does the shopping list for these things ever stop???? lol

got me buggy/6kites/2helmets. Now i need: GPS/Waterproof suit/another vehicle/gloves...the list goes on!!!!!! lol

 

 

just hope sarah dosent read this thread lol

only joking sweetheart

 

Lol, just finished the new safety release for the new harness. This is my new Ozone XC snowkite harness with "D" ring fixture.

Fits really nice, feels light and comfortable.

Tested the Wichard and it works a treat with a mock setup, i'll try it properly on the kite at the weekend.

The Wichard is the 110mm version with a 6mm Wichard "flush screw" D shackle.

I then made the quick release from 6mm line, 7mm clear poly hose and 2x 35mm toggle *****. They work really well and hopefully should provide a clutter and tangle free solution to the captive system.

I have both a Petzl mini and Petzl fixe rollers coming this week so i can choose which one i like to use most.

Hope you like it





(Libre race seat harness (M) and Arminator for sale, very little use )

 

harness....something else to add to the list!!!! lol may have to talk at the weekend Frayz

looking nice by the way

 

I have my ;ibre seat harness with semi captive roller if you want to try that mate but i really think youre better off getting confident in the buggy before you get strapped up.
Its a totally different feeling to flying on your arms alone. It will mess with your progress if you get one yet, but youre welcome to try mine out for size and feel

 

dont worry mate, not going to jump straight into the harness, just thought if the price is right may as well put it in my kit bag now

 

Lol,mate im never gonna knock anyone for jumping in straight away lol.

Im no observer of the softly, softly approach lol.

I said Dazza could have first dibs on my Libre but i want £85 for it. That inc everything youd need inc spreader bar and strop line.

Cost £130 new and has very little use indeed

 

lol...all or nothing and all that no worries first shout is with Dazza

 

Go big or go home my boy

 

ferck it....gonna get my 7m out at the weekend!!!!! lol

 

Paris here you come

 

Who says he wil get dropped off at Paris?

Stutgart more like

 

pmsl.. i will be going big then home all at the same time!!! he he

also to make room a bit easier and if Ross is ok, shall i jump in with you for camber??? can also split petrol funds with you??

 

I'll bring the Greatest Love Songs cd (if I can prise it out of Tiny's mitts)

 

is this gps any good for buggying?
thanks

Looks fine to me fella, but all i waill say is that teh Etrex looks a little more durable compared to that.

Should be fine, just thinking incase you smack it, ya know.

 

this one? its for spally's buggy

GARMIN ETREX HANDHELD OUTDOOR GPS WALKING TREKKING NOH on eBay, also, GPS Systems, GPS, Consumer Electronics (end time 26-Nov-08 15:15:00 GMT)

 

Yes mate, that the base spec Etrex like mine, they also do a couple of other variants of Etrex with more features but that one is good enough.

Thats what i use and i find it a great little bit of kit

 

cheers bruv and Frayz.

Just really want something with top speed on, not really fussed about all the other bits and bobs.

 

wahoo my new full face helmet turned up this morning. Feels so much nicer and safer than my other one
