2 wheels is easy mate
It just clicked with me the other day, and now i can go for ages and even with one hand.
Once you have the courage to get the buggy right over you realise that its just balance and kite control and not scary at all.

Honestly mate its dead easy, just a bit of balance and initial courage. Once you learn how high you can get the buggy... and you really can take the pi55 with it tbh... you end up doing it without really thinking.
I can do it perfectly on one side and am learning on the opposite side, its a little alien on the other side as your reations are all reversed and it feels weird.
Great fun learning though
You go go go on the green then slim?

Yeah, leaning in and feeling the buggy go right over is the feeling you gotta just get over if you know what i mean
Once youre happy with that, it feels just fine

Not to good buddy really
, Never see the 10-12mph forecasted rarely got over 6-7mph ( Max we see was 13mph for a second ), Was a struggle to say the least , Only managed to get in 3.8 Miles & a massive 14.7mph !!
Spent most of the day sitting drinking coffee & eating Jaffa cakes !!
Glad your day @ the EPKP Was better

Well i took very little pics today as i was out flying most of the time.
Frosty start carried on most of the day and made pulling an edge quite hard so made, jumping and tricks that require good grip damn hard. But we had a go
Mosty 8/12mph but did blow up for a bit with a max of about 15mph. Stayed pretty constant, clean westery all day.
Heres my selection for the day, spent most of it playing dogems with eachother and funny how little Adam got most of the bashing from us lot

They were inflated though mate, and you can see the flag is nice and square.
West is certainly Barleylands best... But is Barleylands best for west?
