LOL! Oh God! LOL! Please make it stop! LOL! I wanna stop laughing but I can't :smilegrin:

Kober, Thanks for posting "Crazy Eddie and his buggy of Doom". That boy (FlyingTigg) has more energy then a nuclear reactor. I really think he was just trying to stay warm, notice the SHORTS!. It was about 35 degrees and I was bundled up freezing.
We met him last weekend @ the beach and after a few runs in the Bigfoot, he was hooked, then off and running on a mission to build a buggy.
He came down to the beach late in the day Sunday with a "fresh off the welder" homebuilt job.... hacking a shopping cart, tricycle steering head, duct tape seat, and RollEze wheels. Quite a creation.
I said to myself..."You have to be kidding me, your going nowhere" I was amazed when he actually pulled it off, exp. @ high tide in the soft. He'll be sporting my spare lid for future speed runs.
Look for FlyingTigg @ Wildwood....and leave plenty of space ;-)

Btw, I found a pic of the prototype...

I'd lost my clone but now he's found , thank you PKF , thank you!!!





Tell Crazy Eddie to find a kids car seat that will fit his arse then he'll have a soft sand buggy that will fly with the big dogs.

Looks like he needs to make sure he comes to the WBB and buy some raffle tickets. :lol:

Nice little ride, I imagine it must be quite the thrill.

I can flip a buggy w/ a 5 ft. axle,no way I'm gettin on that.:crazy:

So all great things start somewhere :frog: and this on started sat. The wheels came in the mail and I was off with a shopping cart a bike a welder and a grinder 4 hrs late this baby (named bubbles) was rolling down my drive way. Not bad for a prototype and only flying a kite for about 15 hrs. Btw the axle is already cut of and a 4.5ft is in the work. A basket seat is being lookinto. And the helmet is otw.

Snowspider ?? Snow sleds?? Do I have a new project?

Nice!

Flyingtigg come to WBB and you will see quite a variety of home built buggies. I'm bringing 3 variations of one that I brought last year.
You can see the kitesled in the gallery under "kite sking ..." but you dont want one of those. You look more like a jumping , flipping , twisting guy , you'll just get hurt doing that with 35# of aluminum and skis hanging off your butt. Its a go fast or cruise allong take in the sights kind of thing. If you feel truely compelled to build one I,ll have some pics for you. http://www.powerkiteforum.com/gallery_image.php?action=view&iid=477#pictop
