I made an appearance today and had a fly of my big buzz.
Must say I really enjoyed myself- was great to see the progress Frayz has made. Some pretty impressive jumps!
Looking forward to the sunny days/evenings there with a bbq

DO NOT buy a pan from him...
I thought the quality of the material was poor when it arrived but i was sold it in good faith that it was lighter and stronger than my RIPS one.
After one decent jump today, heres whats left of the pan...
Since calling him, he told me that none of theirs have broken as they only cable tie on and so is not prepared to do anything about it. He wants to charge me for a new one and even wants to charge me to print me another vinyl so that i could make my own pan out of my own material.
Pretty pi55ed off that ive been sold i piece of **** like that. Not like ive been battering it for days or even weeks. I broke it within an hour at the kitepark!
Still, did pull off s huge reverse 180 aerial that Shaunee got on camera, also thew a few sidewinders into the mix today
about the pan
about my tricks

No i had him supply me a new pan anyway. I thought id have all new seeing as i was getting it all graphic'd properly.
The pan just couldnt take the "relatively little" amount of abuse i gave it. Im gonna make myself a new pan and get my graphics printed again.
I know im never happy with anything unless i do it myself, guess i should of known better lol

Frayz, considering the shock loads that is likely to experience I am surprised you mounted it solidly. 
But if you used std fixing points, there has to be a fitness for purpose issue, and therefore a refund.

Thing is Col.
I like the DSK quality but in the event of an impact with a ramp etc, its just going to ping all the cableties etc and not actually protect you the way a strong bolted one would. I want my pan to protect me and not just be there to look nice. So its gotta take the abuse.
Once you start jumping you realise just how much of a pounding your kit takes. Bolted or not, i was pissed off that i was sold something discribed as better blah blah but clearly wasnt ya know.
