Buggy jumping captive setup?


Ok,

So I'm looking at my Ghetto setup for buggy jumping and know it's not up to grade, but I've been almost everywhere locally I can think of and can't find a good setup, I'm looking for something along the lines of the Wichard QR setup with a 50mm pulley and probably one of those 1/2 twist shackles,

Any ideas on where to get one?

Here in Germany it is forbidden to connect you with the buggy because of damage :bisou: Too dangerous. But looks great!:tumble:

Try online or any boat store.Check my gallery for my three point quick release harness made out of car baby seat.I would recomed You min two.One to release kite and second to release You form buggy.From my expirence when I crash on windy day I always let the kite go before I will seperate my self from bug.Why?When You are draged more bad things can happen and it is easy to get out from bug when not moving.Start to jump on not to windy day with mid size kite You have.Small kite will pop You high and drop You very fast plus it will turn much faster what may cose unwanted loop.You have to be very comfy with static flying, jumping and going in reverse.

Yeah, I have a seperate system for keeping me in the bug, just looking for something to lock the kite to me, right now it's just a loop of climbing rope with a pully on it and a standard strop setup through the pulley, I can release it by pulling the loop off of the hook on the harness, my main concerns are it accidentally comming off when airbourn or tricking, and the potential of flipping and being dragged, with tension on the harness, I don't suspect that I'd be able to unhook it properly.

For kite safety, I'll probably just get one of those bungy kk setups and run it from the brake lines of the kite to my harness. I've seen a couple ways of doing this with out having loose dangely safety lines.

Some of the local windsurfers put me onto a local boat shop that apparently sells all the needed stuff for cheap.
