Here is a quickly thrown together movie from last weekend from one of the guys I was with.
I have about 40GB of material to go through so this won't be the last movie from the weekend
ENJOY!!:singing:

WOW, is that the beach I missed out on??

Yep!! well at least a small part of it. We stayed in a small area while filming so we could find each other.
But you can come over and I 'll show you the rest if you like:tumble:

See you in a few months. probably in June and again for Eurocups. Skipping 24Hr for another event here in the USA.

nice video!!! too bad I missed Les Hemmes on the World Cup trip.

must be blowing if you went to the RII.

PS. its nice to have a resident US Number on the racing scene over there. Go get them!!!

:spin:

Actually I was getting the 5.5 RII set up for one of the guys that was with us, but in the end I had so much fun with it I rode with it for an hour or so. btw I blew the doors off a 5.5 Century Soulfly (the old one) using the RII even though I weigh at least 25KG more with buggy.

For Flat out speed the RII is great first when you start riding courses (up wind/down wind and accelerating out of the corner) do you see the diffrence between the RII and a race kite.

The rest of the time I was using the 6.5 and the 7.8 Vapor. I had problems staying behind the guy with the camera because he was not going very fast and the wind was blowing pretty good. As we were filming the Vapor right behind the buggy I actually hit his helmet several times with the kite because it accerates so fast.

But you will get to see all this in Part 2
