first time buggy ride


Hello everyone!! Have read every one's posts. Cant thank you people enough! Been kiting six months now, great fun. Read posts on how to fly while waiting for pro-foil 2.5 to be delivered. Picked up flight control immediately thanks to advice from forum members. Flew for a few months then got a buggy,kite trike for now as price could not be beat. Anyway went to Elmer's to learn to buggy the wind was 25 mph with gusts a lot higher. To afraid to take out the blade 4.0 or bullet 5.5, I launched the profoil2.5 almost pulled my arms off. With kite straight over head standing next to buggy I sat down in the bug. While looking at the bug to sit down the kite dove for the ground, I turned it back up and was yanked out of the bug and pulled three feet high and scudded about ten feet.:o Did not think that was possible from the 2.5, Holy @&#*!! Got in about 20 miles worth of bugging that day sliding all over the place!! Made a few mistakes as would be expected, crashed kite a few times, slid around backwards and wrapped lines around axle you know!! No OBE's while buggy was moving though. :thumbup: Every ones posts/advice trimmed my learning curve, still learning though:D Thanks again!! See you at Elmers:cool:
