have a good one you lucky sods lol

 

didnt get out today, didnt get up til 11ish then spent the rest of the day giving the cars some TLC they needed after being driven in the recent bad conidtions.

How did you boys get on then???

 

Boy oh boy i have just had the most amazing buggy trip of my life , No word of a lie the beach is so BIG , It's sand both ways for as far as the eye can see !!

WE MUST GO THERE AGAIN SOON , you boys will love it !!

Im exhausted banged out over 50 miles today mostly @ 30mph !!

( You buggy in one diection for 25 mins @ a time before turning , Then you got to try & slow down & turn !! )

More in the week

Shattered now , It was so good Frayz i left Frayz out there for another day !!

 

Sounds good!

Look forward to hearing the full story.

 

look forward to the full low down, sounds superb....25mins in 1 direction...i might even be able to get into the 20mph's with that amount of room lol

 

i might book my honeymoon there for 2 weeks lol

 

Had a great day Saturday, wish I could have stayed for longer and had the full kit with me but great to catch up with ya and wow what a beach....roll on the next trip and yes I will have all the gear with me...Frayz thanks for the buggy loan... and letting me hold your monster blade whilst you and tiny helped Jordy...

Jordan, in his words " thats been the best day of my life " after being dragged on his knees across the sand for 30 yards, with only a 2.5 blurr...

 

What a wicked weekend !!

But boy oh boy does my body hurt today !!

The "Neap" Tide works again @ the end of March if any of you guys fancy it , I'm defiantly going out there a few times this year

 

Sand as far as you can see one way !!!





Sand as far as the eye could see the other way !!!





The BillyKart & I




Does life get any better >>>?




More of Frayz pulling of some wicked "Freestyle" jumps to follow

 

No pics here.

 

Looking good fella, Im just home too.

Absolutely shot after 3 days of freestyle!!

Took, sod all pics but will post a couple later

Looking forward to seeing what other pics you took fella

 

Beach looks beautiful!

 

OMG no chance of bumpng into anyone then lol
is that normaly all covered in water then

 

Yeah mate, depending on the coefficients of the tides the tide can come in only a few meters leaving over a mile wide of beach showing (Neap tide).

Other times it can come all the way in and flood the entire beach (Spring tide)

Staggering amount of playground though. Having that mach run of just made you want to throw bigger and bigger moves.

 

Looks wicked!

 

is it harder than grass when you hit the deck
bet ya all got sand up yr crack

 

Yep .. But certain tides called NEAP / CO EEF Or something another mean that the water when in (High Tide) Is still 1 mile away from the shore , Coupled with the 8 miles length you have a massive playground to buggy in

It's great to buggy & the waters edge just blasting through the puddles / Little rivers left by the water going out

The wind never really got (On shore) Whilst we were there so never got to do the 8 mile run , but diagonally across the beach was a mile each way !!

Every route you take it's on virgin sand

 

For me thee were no OBE'S the wind is so clean & constant , thee are no nasty surprises looming , It was 20mph most the weekend i flew my 7m Blurr both days , Something i dare not fly over the park in the with the turbulent wind associated with in land flying

But yes the sand does get EVERYWHERE !!!

 

Our Frayz - Nicely inverted






Loving the clean winds on the 8.5m Blade





Higher & Higher !!!




And on the Saturday night the Beers & Little liveners started to flow





Time came that we had to pack up & head back home

 

Sand is completely different to jump on than grass. Its changes in its consistancy and can be tricky to get comfortable with. Sometimes its lumpy and awkward with the tyre pressure you have to run when jumping on the beach. SDometimes its sticky and you struggle to make the speed required to cut a hard enough edge to jump. Also landing is alot less forgiving when the sand is sticky as the buggy grips if you come in a little sideways. It can grip the buggy and flip you out.

I nailed alot of tricks this weekend that i hand attempted before purely because i had so much room to try and throw bigger stuff.

I had a number of OBEs purely from trying new stuff and trying too hard.

Cant wait to go again

 

It really is mate , The pics do not do it any justice at all .

And just 10 minutes from the tunnel terminal , 10 minutes from the shopping centre Citi Europe , 10 mins from our base the E Tap hotel , it really is such a simple trip to do , When the nights are a little longer a day trip really would be possible , But for the cost of a room ( £30 pp ) IMHO It's really worth staying over for the night

 

Mate ..

You freestyle boys were great !!

Watching you performing in front of the French . Dutch & German buggyiers will live with me forever !!

Still cant believe i left base @ 10am & returned @ gone 2pm !!

No wonder every part of me aches

 

Oh my fercking god....that looks awesome. to be honest started to lose a bit of interest in buggying, i seemed to be going backwards each weekend.

BUT after seeing pics like that wanna get back out so i can get somewhere like this and have a play

Looks like you boys had an absolute ball.

Nice air there Frayz

 

Lol, they didnt quite know what to make of us did they lol.

Some of their faces when i passed em going backwards and then past some racer on 2 wheels was hillarious. He didnt look impressed

Fun jumping the Blurr too, i think id take your 7m up in 30mph and it would be pretty good

Shame nobody goy a pic of my tweeked sidewinders. I had some huge tail whips that i dont think got caught on cam.

What the others wont appreciate is that you cant take that many pics because we could litereally be buggying a mile away from eachother and not think anything of it lol

 

Good photos- Love the first one of you jumping!

 

Also learnt to 2 wheel-footout today

This weekend i completed the following tricks.

2 wheels - both sides
2 wheels no hands- kite right
2 wheels left footout - kite right
2 wheels with forwards downturn - kite right
2 wheels with backwards downturn - kite right
Reverse 180 aerial - both sides
Forwards 180 aerial - kite right
Forwards 360 aerial - kite right
Sidewinder - both sides
Tweeked sidewinder - both sides
Nose stand (vert) - both sides
Invert - both sides

I think i had a great weekend

 

Flash git!

 

By the way... this is what a proper freestyle kite-bus should look like

I think it says it all about our weekend

Contained no less than 4 fully worked buggies, 11 Blade IVs, 3 Blurrs and 3 idiots!!!

 

LOL Yeah baby !!

 

Well with no buggying this weekend or next I Thought that it would be an ideal opportunity to get the ole "Billykart" Stripped down & off to the local powder coaters for a bit of a jolly up

So she was dropped of in bits this morning for the bead blasting treatment & taken back to the bare aluminum , Then prepped & re powder coated in a completely new colour

Once back the new rear wheels , new seat , new siderail covers , new rear buggybag will be installed & she will be good to go again
