I love doing that with my bigger kites. Here's one in a buggy.

That has to be one of the best tricks you can do in a buggy with all your wheels on the ground. One day when I've had my fill of cruising up and down the beach I'm gonna get up my gumption and try that. What conditions have to be in place to make it work. Minimal wind I guess? Big kite? Maybe the Blurr will work or is it not racy enough?

doods, the suicide is easy...you just need some speed, keep the kite at about 45 degrees and downturn, follow the pull around in a circle..

just loop it...stay unhooked and dont let the kite get behind you

give it a try in real light wind by running first to get the feel for it.

How did we get on the topic of 360's? The video post is about playing catch with a kite....? :puzzled:

lol you've got to admit, it's a pretty awesome vid to derail a thread with :roll:

I am *mystified* by that 360 vid.. I've got to give that a shot next time I'm out in the buggy. Thanks for posting it:thumbup:

this one is the 360 suicide vid. Mystified is a good way to put it.

love the 360,

nice light wind day and as soon as i get the space the coyotes are on it ,

that is a fast kite wow.

back to the kite toss which is cool too

Blake Pelton did a few 360's at NABX. I think it was him that made the interesting observation that a lot of buggy newbies will nearly do a 360 when they overfly the kite coming out of turn - my paraphrasing.

I was watching Jellis pull off some pretty cool 360's at Sobb 2 years ago. His method seemed different. Slower and stylish ?

Was I just dreaming this or have you got the 360 down to an art Jellis ? This was the 1st time I had seen good trick riding . I know He was riding in a full 360 I'm just not so sure the kite did ?

Can you talk us through your approach !
