Screwy playing with a Flexifoil scout buggy. These are his first runs on 2 wheels. he was getting solid by the end of the day. A couple more sessions and we might see him going backwards on 2 wheels :wee:

Screwy , I see ....... THAT is how you are getting your buggy built.
SMART !!!!!!

1st off, nice bug, where did ya get it?
2nd, nice brakes.
Oh ya, way to go Screwy

I love any video that starts off with "hey guys watch this".

Nice, and what a field that is!!!!!

I found us some good spots on the coast that you all have check out. Nice trick screwwy, your skills are progressing. Good to see you got that beast together there DAKITEZ.

Thanx all,
yeah it seemed to come semi easy for me, if I had some smooth winds I think I'd be a lil more solid, that being said these unpredictable winds where great for my skills, if I can pull 2 wheels in that then smooth should be a walk in da sod farm... LOL
D's new bug is bad a$$ very solid and the design is on tip...
hope to have some more footage soon and stretch out my trick bag a lil, so expect to see several crash and burn vids as the Nor Cal Crew loves to catch those on film...

I don't believe I just saw a production buggy w/ lower siderail to stop all that flexing. I have been building mine like that for 4 yrs. , what took em' so long. It seemed a nobrainer from the get go. lookin good Screwy.

Very nice Dirk, very nice
I guess I should pull the PL out and start learning myself.
Also....very nice bug Dino....Nice to see that beast rolling with your feet actually on the pegs......lol:tumble:
What kind of camera were you using and how did you mount it?
I'm thinking it was a GoPro with a rollbar mount.

Gonna have to mount the gopro next time...we seem to have a few OBE's ourselves from time to time.
Now that Grant (Coolbreeze) has a gopro,We'll have to do some dual filming and splice them together.
Nice Vid

Ken (K3)

yep go pro with roll bar mount. I need to experiment more with different camera locations. but it was the first day with the camera and the first day on the new bug so I didn't want to take time to move the camera and waste buggy time. Next time I will put it in 1080 mode and pick a new camera location. I think I will also get some footage of the camera as a marker cone. So you will see the buggies come sliding up to the camera .. go around .. then come shooting back on the other side.
This camera stuff is turning my few hour buggy session into a multi day event. I go buggy for a few hours ... then come home and watch the few hours of video ... then edit it .. then upload. MAn I'm tired just talking about it.

you better keep practicing your speed runs because I'm after you at nabx 2011 ... care to make a friendly wager? No more pink skirt for me. Lets say loser buys dinner? It could be costly for you because you know I can eat :piggy:

Nice job screwy! You are going to add a whole new element to the sport in Nor Cal.

Those Flexi and PL buggies were really fun to ride on. Much better experience than I had in the past. Sliding turns, breaking loose in the straights, all good fun. I didn't try to hike a wheel though. Maybe next trip.

So since we are talking about speeds and wagers, what are the top speeds of us mere mortals? I might be in for a dinner wager, exspecially if Ken 3 or heck Ken 2 for that matter are involved. :bigok:

Wow....nice skills AND a wicked nice place to play! Lucky, lucky, lucky guys!

Nice, and dang those are some short lines!

i want in on this bet too. catch me if you can.

that looks so fun.... Can you all let me know when you go out to the sod farm next?

Yeah, we haven't met yet, that'd be fun times...
I'm hoping this weekend coming up, but I got an prior engagement on Sat so Sun or Mon might be my only chance, Dino might be up for a ride though, I'll let him chime in on that...

Thanx all, this has lit a new flame for me and I'm back to obsessing again, hope to start trying some jumps and ride fakie soon... stay tooned, loony tooned... hehehe

FAMOUSFITS!!! keep it up

how come dino slows down with his foot? :puzzled:

nice camera angle!

-no crotch shots
-could see the kite
-could see the rider
-could see the fields
-no too bouncy (ie looking around)

i like it!

I planned on mastering the 2 wheel the summer I found Coyotes and got distracted.

Maybe this should be the summer I get it down. HAVING to buggy in Washington and all.

Maybe we should have a little Nor Cal gets beaten by Canada at the longest 2 wheel next year ? :P

A good reason for us all to work on it !

Macboy and Revpaul , you in ?

I wonder if there is a record for top speed 1 man, 1 kite, on 2 wheels ? :smug:

:bigok:

Awesome vid Dino!

Killer riding screwey...dude, what length lines are you rockin on that viper???

Them are about 8.25m lines, funny thing about them lines, I was screwing around at NABX and popped my lines on DAKITEZ while bugging back from the "Out and Back" so I just made two pair of short lines... HeHeHe they are real nice in unpredictable winds, helped me fly a lil bigger kite than I would have in those winds...

Bladerunner I'm down for a friendly challenge... and that one sounds kinda fun... anything to get back to the PLAYA with all my family...

Hey Rip we need to get Dino a Fred Flinstone skirt... LOL

Rofl@the flintstone skirt!

Gotta admit Dakitez is step'n it up now too, he's feeling all good and stable now in this new bug, he should break his personal best by quite a bit now... hes just foot breaking to get me on film with the gopro HD, sorry I couldn't help myself with the Flinstone comment... hehe...:frog:
He didn't share all his video of him ripping up and down the farm... he's letting me have my 15min, LOL...

Nice video and...well done guys

not sure if there is a record, but I can sure tell you I saw Brian blazing on 2 wheels at nabx this year. He was flying by most people like they were standing still ... and he was on 2 wheels

Nice video. Great shots, I liked the shots from the kite.

From the prior weekend. Races short lines vs. long lines.

Thanks for the video AD! The third rider on the green 2m Beamer is my son Wexler. He has the buggy dialed in now. This past weekend my younger son Jared gave the buggy a try and now he is linking turns and riding back into camp. Just when I had my quiver pretty well shaped up, I now have to have kites for 3 people in all the wind conditions. And don't even start about the arguments about who's turn it is in the buggy. I'm sure I'll have to have a second buggy soon to spread the joy a little. Gotta love it.

I get a real kick out of playing tag like that. Screwy and I were pretty well matched in similar buggies and similar sized kites. Him on short lines and me on longer ones. Awesome day with great guys.
