Does it count as a OBE if I was upside down under the buggy ? I was still technically in the buggy, but it was riding me instead of the other way around. I'm just trying to get an official judgement on this matter
I did this about 3 times today so if it doesn't count as a OBE then today was my first successful day with no OBE's.

ouch

I vote no. You did stay in the buggy. Ok, brace for the lightning bolt. I've never had an OBE! Ok, I've been in a buggy for maybe 45 minutes total but I have kept my butt planted so far.

dlish89, from the little bit I've gotten to know you....I would have never guessed you were that hard-headed!!! :singing:

I need to know what sort of head protection you wear....sounds like what I'll probably need if......weeeeelllll, maybe when the time comes.

I think it'd be classified as an UBE (Under Buggy Experiance)



My first time out with my buggy I was yanked out sideways and the buggy flipped on top of me before being drug about 5ft the first three times I sat in it. (fortunatly I was on grass.)

But i learned a valuble lesson, Don't let the kite get down beside you while sitting still, instant recipe for OBE/UBE!

Now you need a roll cage!! Or maybe a roll cage with wheels on it so if it happens again you can just keep going!!!

Thats a good idea! I was there it was a Ube. He got up on 2 wheels a couple times too. He is already doing tricks. I mannaged to stay planted after my obe a couple weeks ago. Did get some good power slides though. New smoothies helped. Nice post dlish. That was the best day ever. And Bob your luck is ging to change if you try to buggy with that new Blade. Depending on wind conditions I would get a Blaze to play with I loved it in the bug that day It did a good job. And dlish that on was not an obe but I think one of them were. I don't know about you but I was wiped out after all that!

Believe me, the Blade is the last kite to come out if the others won't get me moving. I don't think it will be that bad in sane winds on low lift. I'll just have to be careful about getting it over me or behind me. I hope to have enough wind to use the Beamer at first.

I think the Beamer will do great in the buggy. I am getting a 1.8 beamer this week also. It will be my high wind baby. I can really use it around here too because the wind is so in constiant around here My area is not that special for kiting one day not enough a week later too much 3 weeks nothing at all. If I am lucky I get one and I mean one Day a month of prefect wind.being 15-17 mph. for me I love that range. I just try to make the best of it. Before it is even close to being over I will try to have kites. 1m to 10m all different until I find a size and model that is most universal for me. I think I am headed in the right direction. It just takes time.

hey Sthrasher bud , don't underestimate small kites in strong inconsistant wind.I have been picked up and taken for a ride ,when I had the kite at zenith. It was a 2.5 rage and a gust to infinity. BAM eat beach! that quik, no warning.

Thanks. But I know if a 1.8 snatches me off the ground I won't be flying anyway.:saint:
