Well, this is one of my fav videos of mixed buggying and landboarding, theres some 2 wheeling in that, and a load of much better stuff :)

Are you talking about a Dirtsurfer?

go through the vidoes from www.powerkite.net

I remember seeing a video with someone on a two wheeled buggy in a GPA race.

Well thinking on the physic of it and lateral pull from a wing... My thought would be that it probably lacks roots were the rear end wouldn't be able to hold to much w/o the rear end breaking out.... then again the ability to lean could compensate{ like on riding two wheels with a reg. buggy } and then some if the rider weight is set back closer to the rear wheel.



never the less its not all about performance.. vision, style , and the ability to create

You're looking for a "Kite Bike"

Duck Designs had tonnes of info on it, but it would seem his website's down at the moment.

Some footage of one on here. Mixed with bugs and ATB's.

That actually looks like a really good video to watch. mostly justifying this on the fact that it has a very wide variety of footage of different kite vehicles, the most I've seen I believe in one video clip.

This looks like a challenge and a lot of fun. I want to try it. Found some info on this page. http://www.surf-wax.co.uk/sports/kite_buggies/kite_bikes/ind... I have seen the conversion kit for sale on this site. http://www.xxtreme.nl/
