Can't see it Donnie. Can you check your settings and make it available for mobile download...

It's Vimeo, I'm not a subscriber so they are in no hurry to convert my vid. Probably be up later today:yawn:

Bad...... to the bone.... that thing is slick. You had that thing booS-P-A-M-L-I-N-K-n at one point. Great video.

THAT was cool.

looks like it was too tight to turn it.

like a huge dirt surfer . do you think you could make one with a gimbal/gyro steer?

Great video, i like the bike cant wait to see it in person, on a side note who was the boarder? do you have a new local kiter?

nice...built it yo-self too?! right on.
looks fun.

BTW-note to others- PL makes accessories to convert 3 wheel buggy into 2 wheel bike

Donnie that was Awesome. I felt my self leaning over to help you steer several times. LOL Looks like you got your self another bad boy toy!

Nice one WG....you done well for the first time out

Glad you guys like it! I LOVE it!:wee:
@ Phree , The rideable part of my beach is real narrow, so turn arounds are impossible, but the runs between turn point to turn point are AWESOME . And it reminds me of a dirtsurfer too. Sure I can, if you can draw it ,I can build it.

@ Rich , the leanin' is to counter the pull of the kite, you steer it by pushing out slightly on the side you want to go to. You never lean a motorcycle to turn it ,you PUSH out on the handlebars and the bike w fall to that side. The harder you push ,the further over it will go. It is called "the racers edge" and once learned you can take turns at unbelievable speeds, but you're layed way over. (Used to road race motorcycles in the mid 80s, illegally of course. I do not condone this now, but it is what it is.) Getting going is the wierd part.

@ Scott , Yeah , one day when I was leavin , these 2 dudes just appeared carryin kites and a landboard. I thought the heat was gettin' to me, but they were real!
So now I got a bud to text when I'm headin out. He's a member of PKF now goes by "whodat757" I believe . Real cool dude, I'm gonna get him hooked on buggies:o

@PTW Carl, thanks dude,comin from you that means alot. Once I got it goin, I was all over it.

just for the record it weighs 77 lbs.

Donnie I used to ride myself. Had a GSXR 1100 worked over. Know all about the "pushing". It was more like a xbox 360 lean! LOL

Glad you are loving it!

My Brother!

41 mph...

That was a great video Donnie. And a very cool ride you built. Can't wait to see it in Oct.

WG

Great video, nice to see a kitebike in action. Looks like a real hoot to ride. One more thing to look forward to at WW.

Here is the new version w/ skid pads and rear fender. Weight is now about 95lbs.

stop teasing; let's see it!

closer view of skids

pretty sweet work there Donnie, reminds me of a Ducati frame... :cool2:

you will get to see it in a few days:o

Master craftsman! That thing should be able to get down in the turns now!

Way Pimp!

Can you build me one with those spring mounted training wheels like you put on a kids first dirt bike?

I love my buggy, I dont need anything new, I love my buggy, I dont need anything new, I love my buggy, I dont need anything new, I love my buggy, I dont need anything new .....

Sorry, I had to talk myself down.
