Snowbuggy 2011 - Preparation for Greenland 2013


Refering to my previous snowbuggy, model nr. 3, I am proud to present model nr. 4 which has been tested extensively last winter in Norway.

I do not know how to post actual videos, so I just write down the links to them here :

Snowbuggy model nr. 4 (2011) : http://vimeo.com/27253795
Snowbuggy model nr. 3 (2009) : http://vimeo.com/4390368
In 2013, myself and Dutch team member Arjen "Fast Arie" are planning for a Greenland crossing using the snowbuggy.
Our intention would be to cross Greenland from South to North and back.
If succesfull, it could become the longest and fastest distance ever recorded by a kite expedition.

Dutch buggy manufacturer www.xxtreme.nl is going to build snowbuggy model nr.5 which should incorporate all leasons learnt and make it a truly professional product.

We are in the progress of updating our website www.snowbuggy.nl and wish to come in contact with dedicated sponsors.

In addition to that, we are looking for 1 or 2 other participants.
Preferably, the other participants have extensive winter expedition experience, excellent kite handling skills using bars and handles, fluent in Dutch, German or English, financially capable of covering their part of the expedition costs (and/or bring along sponsors) but more importantly a good sense of humor and a strong desire to succeed....

We have just started to work on the details of the expedition, so expect more news in oncoming months.


Rgds,
