I was partially skunked today. They forecast 4m or 5.5m wind today which would have been much more exciting. I still thought it was post worthy just
because you don't see many short line gravel lot buggy videos. There is definitely a learning curve to using short lines. Turning is much different
than with long lines. You have to put the kite overhead, turn the buggy, then dip the kite. If you try and follow the kite through, you end up with
slack lines. This is the first time I've tried short lines on the buggy and I think there is definitely some fun potential here at least on low
resistance surface.
Also, youtube said it was blocked in Canada because of copyright. Let me know if that's the case.hiaguy - 30-1-2015 at 05:56 PM

Great video Sean. A different perspective definitely. Looks like a lot of fun ssayre - 30-1-2015 at 06:28 PM
Thanks Jason!
Fear not my Canadian wind lovers. Here is another version I think will work.

I liked both versions. Looks like a great place for powerslides.Chrisz - 30-1-2015 at 07:15 PM
So was the video blocked in Canada because of the music?ssayre - 30-1-2015 at 07:20 PM
Yes, it's really weird. The video with a Johnny cash song was blocked only in Germany. The video with the Reo speedwagon song was blocked in Canada
and Kung fu fighting doesn't seem to be blocked anywhere so far. YouTube tells you what countries it's blocked in when you post the video3shot - 30-1-2015 at 08:16 PM
Kung Fu for the win!!!

Great work Sean!... I've been wondering how the short lines would work in the buggy... Looks like it'd be fun even on pavement too.Darknessnam - 30-1-2015 at 09:57 PM
What length lines are you using? Looks like they'd be perfect for a snows kate or a long board come spring.Randy - 31-1-2015 at 06:34 AM
I enjoyed the video. I've used the NS2 mainly with short lines, but with a landboard you don't have to worry about turning - you just reverse
directions. Short lines do help when you've got limited space.ssayre - 31-1-2015 at 07:14 AM

They are 5 meter lines. They would work well for longbaord or snowskate. Normally I prefer 20 meter lines but the 5 meter lines come in handy
depending on the location. Also, short lines require you to be on your toes as far as piloting. It took me some time to be effective with them.
