Kober - 8-4-2011 at 12:01 PM

On my 3rd session with buggy I try to have some fun with power sliding ...... and everything was fine for a while, lots of slides, smile on my face ....... very happy session ...... and then one major mistake ..... kite turning maneuver did not go as planed ......
end up with me flying right on front of camera....
Here is quick edit......

pretty fancy OBE... looks like you stuck the landing though....:Ange09:

That's awesome !! I've always wanted to dismount my buggy that way. :lol:

BeamerBob - 8-4-2011 at 01:07 PM

That has to be the best camera angle EVER for an OBE. You really looked under control under the whole thing. If that's the worst you ever do, you're in good shape. Nice float btw!

Wish I could OBE like that, wait....I need a buggy first. Second that, I need money first. :(

Definitely one of the "best" OBE's I've seen! If only all of them could end up that way! Are you going to be at WW. If so see you there!

I was expecting a crash, not an excellent dismount! Hope all your future OBE's end as well as that one did!

Our boy Kober is a natural. Only riding a few weeks now and he's pulling off sweet OBE's. He practiced that move all morning until he got it right :thumbup:
Looks like Kober will be a Freestyler...he doesn't use more then 1/4 mile of beach and plays around alot. While I like going for speed and ride the whole beach end to end....older and wiser.... (just kidding).
So who's the guy @ :25 anyway? I don't remember seeing him on the beach? A ghost? A Lost Mariner?

mine are never that good, a gust from out of nowhere just yanks me out sideways... happened with pretty much all my kites lmao!

def worth the watch!! nothing like my obes though....mine are ugly......yours was pretty sweet.....

mougl - 8-4-2011 at 07:29 PM

9.6! would be a 10 but you flew off camera

Kober - 9-4-2011 at 01:04 PM

Thanks for all comments..... and yes ...... that was worse unwanted lift so far ..... since I started kiting 4 month ago, I landed ok because after full 360 I was facing front again..... however it make me ride more careful on all fallowing runs

shehatesmyhobbies - yes.... i will see you on WW .... I book room for FR and SA night .... I been on buggy only 3 times, so it make my feel uncomfortable to jump to the action between all those skilled kiters

If there is wind tomorrow I will go practice again ..... and get some more of that buggy beginner footage

bobalooie57 - 9-4-2011 at 01:20 PM

Plenty of room for every kiter on that beach, Kober! It's gonna be fun! :wee:

An obe with a 90 , 180 and 360 thrown in ... The kids a natural!!!

Seanny - 9-4-2011 at 09:16 PM

Looks like it went MUCH better than my first ATB crash! :lol: My wrist still hasn't healed from that. Joint tissue/ligament damage takes forever to heal :P

rocfighter - 10-4-2011 at 05:38 AM

Man I wish any of my OBE's where that sweet. I normaly land on my head or with the 120lb. Rat landing on top of me!! See you in a few days in WW.

Nice framing of the OBE, good vid, but the "My First Buggy Ride Trailer" video was awesome. Great editing. LOL for real!
