I can't see you holding on to that Blurr in 35mph winds very easily.

Should get some good speed in the buggy though if you can hang on!

Poofter, we'll easilly run 25mph with a 5m.

Since sorting my tyre pressures my buggies so much better.

Well footstrops havent been done yet, ive mate one prototype one.

Should do the others in the week.

The towlines are serious overkill though, proper "stitched and whipped" joins. Theyre stronger than the breaking strain on the actual line lol.

Naturally "frayz engineered"

You effectively fly the kite at 45 degrees to the buggy using the kites power to slingshot your forward motion.

UK buggy record is way over 60mph
