Wow, amazing to watch! I've been out of kite buggying for a few years but getting back in, what is the single handle rig? looks awesome (I'm used to two with break lines)
The kite I am using here is an Access 1..4m depower, yes you can comfortably use one hand, when you pull the bar in it acts like an accelerator, push the bar out to depower the kite...there are many newer versions of the access out now, all brilliant for buggy
@popeyethewelder that's great! by the way, I made my own first buggy myself last summer! it works great, in the process, I saw your buggy's and their clips on your site. I am 2 meters tall, so my buggy is really, really huge :P I got some bigfoot light weels and my cooper kite. keep the good work up with your buggy's and try to make 'm as cheap as mine! (all included i finished it for 350 euro. that was partly becouse of some mistakes in my advantage and partly 'couse of the help of some friends
it is indeed amazing sir, 50 mph on a tiny kite like that. it had to be howling for sure.
