Wow, I have to admit.... That is the first video I have seen that makes me want to try out buggying. Looks like a BLAST. Most of the videos i've seen
are just of buggies, going... flying a kite... turn around... come back. to a non-buggier it just seems silly to me, but THAT was a great video!!!

Yeah - a lot of videos just show guys cruising around 15 to 20mph. Once you get a taste for speed (my best recorded so far is 43mph with a bent axle)
you just want to go faster. Plus the power slides at speed are an incredible rush - and they look cool too.

Man those race kites sure do look like performance units through and through hey? Sexy....

From what I've seen they are great engines but with small ranges per size (about 5mph) - plus they are a tad expensive - so if you want a full quiver
you'd need about 5 kites (that's covering from 5 to 30mph winds - but solid power throughout). My 10m guerilla could cover that but not deliver
anything worth while until 15mph - from there on, it's on!

Those Guys are Harald, Stefan and some other fellow pilots here in Holland, Harald (the pilot and editor) is also going to drive P.L.Vapors.
Thorn is a place in Holland, a bit far from the beach, so this is a noce alternative for those gus, and yes some of those guys realy ripping hard with
those Yaks.

Thanks Ozzy good to know the origin - seems like the Netherlands supports a good number of racers - I was there back in 1998 - too bad I wasn't into
kiting at the time. By the way Holland is a beautiful country - I am totally jealous.
