bigfoot tires

how much of a difference do bigfoot tires make? I like to ride on the beach but with regular tires I stick to the hardpacked sand. can one really get moving in the soft sand with those bigfoot tires?

yes, maybe go with the bigfoot light tires

if you have the flexi buggy ... go with the wide wheels.

My Big Foot race buggy rolls over everything in it's way ...


The BF tires prolong my riding to year round riding OTB{on the beach}

I know with full BF's I can ride over the really soft dry stuff on the beach no problem, I'm also not exactly the lightest kiter out there either.

BF lights would work as well. You get a little more edge, a little less float.

not just a case of sticking big foots on though, you then have to think about getting a swan or goose neck to lower the front end back down again, and is your buggy strong enough to take BFs....which seeing as you will probably put them on the Libre, there shouldn't be a problem.

But apart from the comments mentioned above the other thing about BFs is....










...they LOOK GOOD:singing:

here you can see the difference between a bigfoot light and the new Eurotrax...on the left
