Not mine....

But just wanted all to know it won't be long until young Wexler kicks his Dad's butt....this 16 year old speed demon hit a PB of 58.3mph.... I was lucky enough to get a shot of this young talent and his GPS shortly after his run.

He is def breathing down the necks of the top runners at NABX....

And to top it off he is an awesome kid.....

4th time out on a buggy ever 35.2 mph. I was told that this is not done so quickly but I have to give credit to the Playa Bug and the 2.6 Viper S. I wouldn’t have had the confidence if it wasn’t for the safety and performance of the Playa Bug and the fantastic performance of the Viper S.

Popeye, thanks for all your hard work.


Roc I definitely feel the pressure! He won't pass me by me not trying, but what can make a father more proud than to have their kid do something better than them? He surpassed me for a half hour or so a few weeks ago, then the wind granted me a boost over 60. I might not be so lucky next time.

He's doing this on Montana depower kite too, and I had to jump to the Prodigy race kite to get the 60 that day. Maybe he won't take a notion to really give fixed bridles a run!

Remember Bobby.....the fastest speed in a buggy with a depow is 111kmh which is about 69mph......which is faster than you......So Wexler still has a good chance to beat you with a depow unless you get busy.......

Thanks guys for adding your PBs here, its made my job a bit easier

Well done to everyone who set a new PB...outstanding, I tried and failed, managing 56.3mph

The "Stephan and Mano show", setting superb PBs at the pre event, and showing us all what superb buggy skills these guys have on the 40mph winds on the Thursday....amazing

Huge, huge congratulations to the fastest 16 year old on the planet young Wexmeister.....I knew he had done something special, as he came up to me and asked me what my PB was...?, it was at that moment, without saying anything else I knew he had passed me, and I was as proud of him as Bobby was for sure there, and done in the Hero buggy too.

Also Mike aka MDK, this guy had never even seen a buggy before nabx let alone ridden in one, he bought the Playa buggy from me, and I spent a short time with him, showing him the basics to get rolling, no harness, and he was out there riding for best part of an hour solid....first couple of times, needing to walk the buggy back to buggy camp, then, it all clicked in place, and he was off, not only mastering tacking back up wind and returning to base, he set his first PB a very good 35.20mph, I was extremely proud of him for doing so well so quickly.

All PBs Added thank you

I didn't post my pb from Thursday on the rage 2.5... Just my fastest speed on the sting 1.7 which seemed more fun to me :) Such a tiny kite.

My pb is now54.8pmh set on Thursday on my rage 2.5 while stefan was flying on two wheels with his 14m on 10m lines in 40mph winds :spin: On the run before I hit the truck track crud on the far side of the lake bed, turned up wind, caught an edge, and went up on 2 wheels at 40. That was not so fun for me. But my fat arse got the buggy back down. One more run in the smooth and caught a gust! I then went in for food, put the kite down and switched to the 1.7 ;)

Thanks popeye!
