Fun ride Pops! I was cheering you on as you were chasing everyone down! Very nice helmet as well. That offers a great view it looks like.

I see you have the new Flexi in your stable, what do you think to it?

Threading the needle @3:43 love it! Great mood with the music and cloud cover. Have any pictures of the Hague camera grip?

That was awesome Carl! Thanks for taking us with you on your ride:thumbup:

Carl, we haven't even gotten to ride the Flexi yet because of summer heat and tides at Ivanpah. It is loaded in the car for a run tomorrow though. Impression of it is that it seems to be very sturdy and rigid. It doesn't seem to flex at all even when I sit in it. Front axle is hollow 20mm and breaks new ground with it's design. I will take some pics of it tomorrow. The one I have is a prototype, so there might be some changes made on the regular production units.

Thankyou, yes the threading the needle, seemed much worse than it looks on the video, all I saw were 4 buggies all very close and I was catching fast, under passing and over passing while weaving my kite over and under their lines, I was glad to get through there lol

Wow, the mounts are a bit pricy. I have been working on a mount some what like the MMS1.So far the 600 Euros is cheeper than my proto type.:lol:
