Well guys,

What can i say other than im absolutely off my face with excitement today.
Joined Al and John over the park today for a pre-work fly. Wind was okay but a little gusty, sitting at a constant 13/15mph but did get a little hairy once or twice with some gusts. Peaking at 22mph.
Excersied caution due to the conditions and decided to fly about for a bit and get the feel of the seatbelt and my newly adjusted seat. Belt worked and felt great and really made me feel so much more connected to the buggy. I felt right at home almost straight away.

Warmed myself up a little before slowly teasing the kite over my head and getting used to the rediection required before i pushed it just hard enough to get airborn!

Yes thats right actually got off of the ground, only about an inch or 2 to begin with but it felt like feet lol. By this point i was absolutely buzzing and still playing caution to the wind pushed a little harder and then a little more before bang, a full blown air and i was about 18 inches off the ground. Nice redirection bought a nice floaty landing and a wee slide towards the kite.

After pushing this far i decided id have a chill out and collect myself for a bit before going out again, by the end of today i had got air probably about 20 times and my last 2 were "to me anyway" massive. Had a good solid 2, maybe 3 feet of air under the buggy and again a nice floaty landing.

Al managed to get some snaps of my first jumps of which hopefully i will post up later.

Also found banging it up on 2 wheels much much easier now im strapped in.

Above all im absolutely stoked beyond beleif and cany contain my excitement. I was shaking for about an hour after my session and am still buzzing now. The line between fear and euphoria is razor thin but wow it was amazing.

So there we have it... im finally a buggy jumper!!

Cant wait for tomorrow

 

 

nice going frayz

 

29mins left col

 

WAHOO we have another buggier

What a bargain you got there as well Col. See you over BL going for a PB!!!! lol

 

PB in speed or height?

 

its free style all the way! free style OBE ing
now ive got a buggy how do i use it

ive gotta pick it up tomorrow do u recon it will fit in the bk of a fiesta mk4 anyone? cheers

 

Col, mine goes in a mk3 fezza so you'll have no worries. Bang the rear seats down, have the rear wheels off (19mm socket) and then put it in with the front wheel snug between the 2 front seats.

Looking forward to seeing you out on it

watch out everyone, spally brothers will be hitting a field soon just gotta talk little spall brother into getting one then we have a complete set!! lol

 

Kinn ell young frayz that looks fantastic , I Cannot believe how much you have progressed in the buggy already , Your making us all look like amateurs now !! lol


Feeling a little better today So will get out for a few hours later


Oh & Col nice one buddy , I'm sure that you will adapt from static flying to buggying in no time

 

Wo wo, still lots of learning to do yet mate. But yeah im still banging about yesterday. Really looking forward to getting back out today. If the wind plays ball then might get some airtime today too.


Great news Col, we'll have you up to speed in no time

 

Well you sure are going great guns @ the mo young frayz

I have just spent the last hour changing the seating position / Downtube position on the phoon again


It feels good now just to test it with the kites in a bit , See you boys soon

 

Okay mate, looking forward to it. Will be there about 1pm

 

thanks guys think im going to need alot of help just to get going let alone anywhere near where u guys are at lol

cool air time frayz u got to be impressed seeing them pics
one day just one day i might be there

 

Dont worry Col, i am no where tiny/frayz/dazza level....at least now i'm gonna have some company whilst doing the walk of shame!!! lol

 

ive seen u can buy a tow line for the buggy might be a good investment

 

yeah, get me 1 whilst you are at it!!!

 

We made our own tow lines

 

i'll buy yours off you frayz, you have no need for a tow rope anymore lol

 

Lol, i do mate, when we go on beach trips etc, dont wanna be caught without one if you have aproblem down the beach somewhere and need to walk back

 

that makes sense matey.

 

what do u need to make one as they are about a tenner on flea bay

 

a bit of rope!!! ha ha ha ha

 

col, frayz made some up and i think they worked out about a tenner, but they are Frayz built and good for up to 500 BHP. have a word with him and im sure he wont mind making a couple up over the festive period whilst stuffed to the gills with mince pies and turkey. !!!
you can even choose a nice bright colour !!

if you want a number plate like spallys also let me know and i'll get MarkRB5 on the case !!!

welcome to Club Buggy and wish you a safe and enjoyable experience mate !!

i'm by no means an expert, but if you want me to take time out with you and spally, just let me know mate and i'll be happy to walk beside you and guide you safely. dont feel shy, just ask. Its what we are all here for and makes the whole experience worthwhile

all the best

Dazza (5m tamer) !!

 

What Daz said^^^

 

Nice little fly today

Not quite enogh wind for the 5M Blurr but Frayz 6.5m Blade felt real good

Sounds like we have a fair crowd going over the park on Sunday

See you boys there

 

Ryan and Mick should be joining us Sunday too mate, so should make for a good crack. I just hope the wind is more consistant than today as it was a bit unuseable today for me really.

Gusty and generally on off.

Still loving my Blade though

 

thanks dazza im sure i will be calling on u boys for help and advice, i just need to get out there and see what i can and cant do before i cry for help lol

having a frayz approved tow line wld be good but i dont wana put anyone out unless frayz u enjoy making things up
