Another absolutely mental day today in awesome winds !!

Was a little extreme to say the least , First time I've ever snapped a set of flexi lines One power & 1 break , You should of heard the noise as they snapped , Also managed to wear through my 5mm dyneema strop line on the 3.5m pro links !!

So a bit of costly one today , bit that's just a small amount to pay for the fun i had out there , managed just under 23 wet soggy S I D E W A R D S miles With a nice max speed of 31.8mph

The Billykart feels so swapping ends , flick opposite lock to opposite lock

State of my gear

Fantastic day , Got to wait another 6 days now though

Too wet and slippery today mate so the big fella couldnt hold down the power required to do the big speeds.

If the ground was dry and grippy however im pretty sure he would of smashed 35mph
