My new wheels
Been over a month in the making but here is my new VTT Black Widow ride. Took me a few months to save up, but well worth the wait! World class
craftsmanship! Couldn't be more pleased. Ready for some wind now!!!
A huge thank you to Mike at www.bigmikeskites.com for helping me acquire such a killer ride. Another huge thank you to Van at www.vantantech.com for the production of such a fine ride!!! If you want a great VTT ride, give Mike a shout.
Hope I didn't kill the pic with my ugly mug, but I'm super excited to own such a machine!

Over at my local school field WG. Not much room for long runs, but plenty of room for jibbing. Catch up with riff, he's leaving there around 10:30
ish.
No way ready to race. I'm still a young Padawan apprentice.

You guys have fun,be safe. 
Later today I want to head to Va Beach and see how rideable a SW is just before low tide (4:00 pm).But the wind will have to hold up, if it drops, I
won't waste the gas.

Looking at the first picture I thought it was small like a flexi or Libre but seeing you in it, unless you're 4ft tall then this is a BIG bug.
I really like the offset colour on the forks to match the stripes. What does VVT stand for?
I had a look on Big Mikes but I can't see it.
I have a question for Big Mike, is he around?

You can see an example of the contrast colored triple clamp/fork on the bottom of the page for the Black Widow.

It is a BIG buggy redsky. My phone tends to distort images a bit. I'm 6'2" and 210lbs. So not really a little dude. Here it is hanging off the back of
my Suburban:

Comfy??? I could watch an 8 hour movie in it while in my living room. It's that comfortable!!!

Is that the voice of experience or just passing time while the paint dried? .. Excellent job on the pain BTW..

Thanks Wolf, I want to ask him about those rear wheels on the Stinger photo on his site. I love 'em.
I think Big Mike should start exporting his bugs over here.

We got footage today but it's going to take some time to go through. My mount was much shakier than I'd hoped so a lot of it just doesn't make the
cut..

Hey thanks Kober!
First. Van, the Black Widow ran like a rail today!
Yeah Kober, 3 firsts today. Maiden voyage of the VTT, first flight of the 4.5 Bullet, and first buggy vid with the GoPro Black 3+. Was really let down
by the wind today, but did manage a few jibes. Had a great time with riffclown too. Lots of kites went up in the air today. The wind direction was
great, but the gusts were just too much for consistent buggy runs. Can prolly edit all the vids to make a descent one though. Here's a few stills I
pulled from the vids.
getting set up:
riff warming up on the 3m Crossfire:
The 4.5 Bullet
the 3.5 Rage
And borrowed riff's 2.8 Skydog
