Put a backrest and a 'luggage racS-P-A-M-L-I-N-K- on the Vmax and the weather God's smiled upon me so down to 13th Beach for a test run. Winds were
16-23 knots. Started off with the Apex 2 5m but after a while was going a little bit sideways so swapped for the 4m XT. Enjoy: Buggying at 13th Beach VideoTodd - 25-10-2010 at 09:52 AM

Another great vid at a great spot! Your camera mast really is rock steady, looks like sched.40 pvc pipe with some kind of clamp I'm not familiar
with, is it readily available?John Holgate - 25-10-2010 at 01:34 PM

Thanks Todd. Can't take credit for this soundtrack though - got sick of listening to my own stuff so I used Ultravox, Tears for Fears and Future Lies
for the soundtrack.

In Aus it's known as a 'Downey' fence fitting - the sort of thing they put up cyclone fencing with. If you match your pvc pipe to within a couple mm
of the axle you'll get a very solid join. There's a couple inches of dowel 'bashed' into the end of the pvc pipe so it doesn't get crushed and
another bit of dowell in the 45 degree bend to give something to screw the gopro base plate to. I would be surprised if your local steel supplier
didn't have almost the exact same thing.
