Landboard costs??
I know it's a dumb newbie question....but, gosh :wow: why does a landboard cost as much, or almost as much as a decent buggy????? At least the
better ones do??

I paid 200 for my ground industries board, and I've only been on it twice. The boards not for me I'm a buggy guy! I'd probably get rid of it for
125.00 and it comes with street and dirt wheels.

Thanks USA_Eli_A....I got the info via U2U.
BeamerBob...are you gonna buy this thing right out from under me???? :tumble: Ha! If it's a good deal....you deserve it. Not sure I'm ready for
it yet....haven't even got a kite. But, if Bob decides no....I might be
interested, sodfarmkiter.

I sent him a U2U after he mentioned it. For the price, it would be fun to try. No response yet though. It might not be for me either. I've never
been on one before. I'd fully pad up if I headed down the field with it. AAAAAnd a helmet. Where can I get one of those Michelin man suits?:D

Padding.....me too!! Yeah, I'm not so sure I really need to go the board route. Kinda thinking more in the buggy, but less places to ride...at least
seems that way. And I would need the folding buggy.....and not sure what you "lose" in quality by having a folding one. I don't intend to get it off
the ground, and only weigh about 160 lbs., so probably don't need too stout a buggy anyway.
I also sent him a U2U to let him know I might be interested if you decided no on it.....haven't heard back either.

padding. you will see me in a full face helmet this year. I recommend a nice full face, hillbilly ass padz and knee pads at the least.

The back axle of the regular PL buggy pops off in 30 sec with no tools- the same amount of time it takes to fold the folding buggy for roughly the
same space. Both versions require just the loosening of some straps

yes...that's a good step in the right direction. you can upgrade with new stuff if you'd like...If that's $125 I'd get it. In fact I might!
