Video

I took my phone out of my pocket, recorded this, and uploaded to vimeo all from the buggy. Just playing around with vimeo. Sorry for the gum chewing.

Update: I deleted the link. After watching a couple more times, I decided at least minimal editing is better than no editing.:)

I liked your vid just the way it was. :thumbup:

I was impressed when you switched the phone between hands during your turn. I probably would have dropped the phone. :)

Thanks Iain! You twisted my arm. I put it back on.

Nice. I just watched it again. It makes me want to get out and fly my NS2s.

That kite looks sweetest! Great video! I picked up a buggy from my friend yesterday, I'm borrowing it for a few weeks. Never tried one yet, just gotta wait for some wind, it's dead still today :(

Thanks Robinson, buggy is my vehicle of choice.

Thanks spencer, it was a perfect 7 meter wind conditions.

Nice riding spot! The kite seems to be working well too. I never chew gum while buggying because I'm worried debris is going to get lodged in it. Grass would be bad enough. Lakebed dust might have a polishing effect.

Thanks. This spot is a true treasure. It is several lacrosse fields at an elementary school. I'm limited to summer and weekends but it is all farmland around it so the wind is as clean as possible. I've seen people flying model rockets and rc stuff there as well. It's really nice to have wide open area for a lot of activities. Unfortunately, all of the city parks plant as many trees as they can or there is a new and even worse trend of just letting all the grass grow and carving trails through them creating "nature" areas. It's just a creative way to stop mowing.

The kite handled very well. They are lull munchers not gust munchers. They keep their shape and stay in the optimum part of the window for lulls. When a gust hits you go faster or slide sideways or both. All of which are fine by me. :)

Nice looking spot!! You look pretty relaxed - kite in one hand, camera in the other. :thumbup:

Awesome bro!! Looks like your really getting comfy with the NS2s. I'm saving for the 7m as well. Sadly, I've not been in the buggy with mine yet. Deer season gets any extra time at the moment. :embarrased:
