Wa Hey,
I have been able to "borrow" a flexi buggy!!
itching to get out on it and go splat a lot
it belongs t a friend of a friend who hasn't used it in 6 months or so, I am thinking that if i like it (and can actually get the thing going in a straight line) I may make them an offer.

kite..... check
buggy..... check
harness..... check
Helmet..... nearly check (off to halfords!)
Insurance ..... Check!
Wind...... Um, ??????

Gonna go for a play on sunday, see what happens. :blink:

Right, buggying is NOT AT ALL EASY
falling out of the thing is simple enough though, I am now a master of the art and could give lessons for free.
I am also working on mastering the technique of being pulled out of it sideways and flipping the buggy so it hits me on the head. so far i can only do it when i am not trying.
It is however, Bloody Good Fun. I just wish I knew what i was doing.
Gonna order the How to dvd from powerkiteshop.com and get some pointers, this could get bloody addictive.
right, where'd i put the painkillers?
Chris.
