popeyethewelder - 26-3-2011 at 02:28 PM

I am sure there will be a few and it will make my life a little easier when I get back home if all the new PB's are located in this thread

I will than add them to the World Buggy Speeds

Good luck guys

Lets the records roll...:singing:

Oh, I'm hoping for a post here every day. I'm almost embarrassed by my current 45.1 mph pb. I gotta break 100 kph this year. I'm lucky enough to get many more chances though so that takes away some of the pressure.

In a buggy mine's only 35,with a kitewing no less lol! Standing up seems less scary at speed than sitting

Jaymz - 26-3-2011 at 06:11 PM

702, How did you ride a buggy with a kitewing ?!?!?! Too close to the ground i'd think? Tips dragging alot?

702dirtsurfer - 26-3-2011 at 07:14 PM

Lol if I had a penny for every time I heard that or that its impossible.....but I don't want to hijack the thread,I'll start another.

Congrats on the new pb Paul! That's really haulin the mail. Sounds like an Epic day......or as you New Englanders say
"A wicked pissa good day"
Enjoy the trip and stay safe. Get plenty of pics.
See you @ WWBB?

BeamerBob - 26-3-2011 at 11:33 PM

doublespeed thats awesome. If you can do it, maybe I can too. You achieved my goal I have set for this nabx. Of course I'll be happy with any bumps in my pb, but to cross 50 mph and of course 60 would be fantastic. 67 mph won't get you in the top 10 on PTWs site, but only 33 are showing that they've topped 60. Keep safe and see if you can step it up even more this week.

ripsessionkites - 26-3-2011 at 11:39 PM

^ hehehe

It's not that hard!!!

popeyethewelder - 27-3-2011 at 01:08 PM

Nice one Doublespeed360...as near you can get to the 100km/h club 99.94

BeamerBob - 27-3-2011 at 09:53 PM

Any word on a new world buggy record today? I got a skype message that could indicate that but can't get verification or corraboration. If I understood correctly there were 2 rides that would break last years record significantly and another in the upper 70s. Could be a joke or kph considering the source.

arkay - 27-3-2011 at 10:23 PM

With the wind sensor reading I've seen, I hope the record was shattered :D Can't wait to hear!!!

That vid gives the nicest shot of a suicide gybe I've ever seen. This is how I've run it through in my head and was going to try it. I just couldn't see myself running at speed and doing a downloop to start the turn.

csa_deadon - 29-3-2011 at 06:32 PM

Myself, K3, and Nocando (one crazy Aussie), accomplished a first. Guess you can say it's a PB. We beat the Dutch to the playa this morning! :lol:

arkay - 29-3-2011 at 09:38 PM

That not a first, it just means that bacon at breakfast was better than the wind... :D

popeyethewelder - 29-3-2011 at 10:59 PM

Yes pb means personal best, so what did you guys do then, should land in Vegas 2.30pm today your time

DUDE . It doesn't count going home at 48.2mph when your buggy is on your car ! :P

( way to go! :thumbup: )

BeamerBob - 4-4-2011 at 03:09 PM

I made several runs into the high 40s and then made about 3 runs with the purpose being to break 50. One more small step in my quest for 100 kph. Actual speed was 50.4 mph with a 10m synergy in the Ivanpah buggy.

Well done guys....any others want to confess to a new PB....do you know Bob, I see you done 41 miles....I never once saw you out on the playa....apart from the walk of shame with Rips kite

all PBs now updated

BeamerBob - 10-4-2011 at 08:36 AM

I know Popeye, I looked for you all the time when I was out and never did spot your coopers when I was out or heading out.

my 50.4 is going to have to go up. Seems like there are close to a hundred buggiers that have gone faster. I want to move up the ladder.

I'm sure Dino will vouch for me hitting in the high 40s, since we did that run together and I somehow hit about 2mph faster on the run. I'll make sure on all the next ones, I get it while the gps is in the buggy, with my face as well. They should come often in a few months if the wind is willing. I'm hoping to put some miles on that HQ prodigy and Toxic as well. My pb last year was on the Prodigy.
