six kites over GP video


This is from a couple of weeks ago.





Is it possible to design for strength, if the designer doesn't really understand what strength is?

It was a little crowded that day :spin:

Lots of maneuvering to avoid the collisions (if your are not ricki trying to bring down K2) but our little park works for us...

You missed the near miss when Ed came in on 2 wheels way over powered on the 8.5 - I saw him coming in out of the corner of my eye and cut downwind right before he came through sideways!!!

Thanks for the short vid!

if you like flying in a postage stamp. LOL.

however ive learned that when you have space to ride its time to let it rip / go fast / round markers.

its going to get more crowded now (going back to buggy freestyle and deadman turns), and more confusing that RonH is now doing Upwind Turns. Now we start doing Suicide Gybes. K3, you're falling behind. yes I do enjoy the buggy tag games with K3, CB and RonH. :thumbup:

where is the HD button, tripod???

It kept getting better. You missed the jump-off between Brian(Blade 8.5) and Roland(Reflex 8). Too bad I forgot about my camera. Brian may have had the distance, but he admitted Roland had the style.
We shut her down around four as the field had filled with single lines.

I never thought anyone who had heard of the Bonzo Dog Do-dah Band would watch a kite buggy video. ;)
Glad you liked it.
