Is It possiable to jump in a buggy without a seatbelt? I am sure it is to some extent but All the videos I see they all have a strap or some kind.

I'm sure you can if you just push forward with your feet and back in your seat real hard. Get what I mean?

Jumped a Libra Super Truck 3-4 ft up and about 20 across just by jamming my feet in against the foot pegs and pushing my backside into the seat. I don't recommend doing this though. I was highly motivated to stay in the buggy after doing something stupid like sending the kite too high while doing a speed run on Ivanpah. Who ever said race kites don't lift is on crack.

Either way, I wouldn't be jumping until you've got your flat land tricks down, 360s, 180's, reverse, slides. Eventually you'll either come down sideways or backwards and you want to know how to ride out of it.

I suggest you know how to buggy on two wheels on both sides first. Than move to doing two wheels opposite of wind side. You might not land flat all the time, but knowing what its like on two wheels will help you.

Thanks guys!

Good point,

After watching someone like Slawek you really start to understand why all the time spent practicing the basics before going airbourn. The ease in which he slides a buggy around, doesn't really matter to him which way the kite or buggy are pointed, he always seems to be able to ride it out. When he lands sideways it really doesn't faze him at all. I knew the advice, but didn't really understand why so many people gave it until seeing it first hand.
