My son and and I went to the sod farm to day with 10 to 12 knot winds. Beautiful day!
We tried out the new buggy we built before going out. It performed admirably behind the 11m Neo. I would highly recommend it as a "starter buggy" to
anyone interested trying this aspect of the sport.
Unfortunately, due to poor quality control, it incurred a catastrophic structural failure after just a few runs. Oh well, back to the appliance
store....

I've always wanted to try a cookie sheet, myself :frog:BeamerBob - 7-12-2008 at 06:57 PM
I know firsthand that a floormat from the car and a stiff wind with an HQ symphony will set you free.stetson05 - 7-12-2008 at 07:09 PM
I built my first buggy for about $50.00. It worked pretty well. I bought a rockville on ebay for about 260.00 and it works better but not 5 times
better. I will have to try the box though for my son. He would like thatmgatc - 7-12-2008 at 07:55 PM
It's not just for the kids. I had a blast in the box buggy after begging it away from my son. It was easier getting the box from him than the 11 Neo.
I never thought I would get stuck with the 8m.MadKiteBoy - 7-12-2008 at 08:26 PM
your just jealous i jump higher on it any way old manBladerunner - 8-12-2008 at 10:26 AM
Uh Oh !
I sense a "boxing" match in the making !
Sounds like you 2 would have fun with the milk bottle scudding shoes !MadKiteBoy - 8-12-2008 at 12:56 PM
Thats a good idea.. although we use the plastic cartons..(can it be done with plastic to?)...BeamerBob - 8-12-2008 at 01:34 PM
you take a 2 liter drink bottle and cut a suitable hole out of the top of it to make a sort of "shoe" out of it. This gives you a very slick surface
to slide on. Cheap and somewhat durable on grass. They can be so slick that your feet can go out from under you. squat down real low with feet a
little wider than shoulders.MadKiteBoy - 8-12-2008 at 04:43 PM
awesome... the soles of my vans are worn out so they slide real well.. ill pass this along to my dadScudley - 12-12-2008 at 06:27 PM
Corroplast is incredibly tough, less than $15 for a 4x8 sheet at Home Despot.

a friend and i found some teflon sheeting here at work we are planing ob stapling it to our shoes. its about 1/4th inch thick and it comes in a roll
about 5 maybe 6 inches wide all i need now are some old shoes. I like the box idea though it looks like it would be a blast in a large field but i bet
up wind travle would not be fun.logantheninja - 16-1-2009 at 03:02 PM
