This years Wallop event in the UK, proved an all out success again this year, even though I unfortunately had to miss it. It is one of the UKs biggest kiting event of the year, and held on the biggest piece of mown grass in the country.

I first got a text message from Kieron Jansch last night claiming 51.80mph....which for grass is a superb speed....not long after though, word got to me about Jay Taylor who on a 10m Speed and barrow wheeled Libre buggy claimed 62.10mph..... I spoke to him on the phone tonight....he just cannot believe he went so fast, I can't wait for the write up

Grass Buggying Records

That's insane speed! Well done guys!!!

Fast is good congrats gents

Sweet stuff! Congrats gents and ladies!

This may be a dumb question but how do they keep from getting pulled off edge? I know how it works on snow/ice, I kinda understand how it works on lake bed but I'm at a loss how they hold an edge on grass. Narrow tires? Heavy tread? Those are some sick speeds over grass!

its all the same, no matter what the surface....as the speed and pull increases, just keep heading more and more down wind until you get the balance right and when it is right there is almost no side ways pull or need to hold an edge...

Well done Keiron

I could be on your list! I've hit mid 20s on grass!

...lousy soccer fields lol

Crazy speeds tho
