[Sietse62]

You are my new hero.

[safeinthesehands]

looking for advice, will a flexifoil rage 4.7m give a good pull ? im a novice but like to throw myself in the deep end

[popeyethewelder]

The Rage will pull you better than the Access I am using in this video, they are a good kite. I have the 2.5m

[popeyethewelder]

check out my web site and look for buggying tips

[dingodile2]

Jezus Christ O.o Nice video, good job. I'd better be practicing:P

[MacCatSailor]

Amazing ride!!!

and nice job on the buggy too.

I loved the video work.

[rreidnauer]

Absolutely incredible. The best I've done was 35 MPH, (with a Peter Lynn buggy and 5 meter Peel) and that felt like I was smokin'. I can't even imagine in the 50's. Felt I was running at the limit of the Peel's top forward speed, so I've picked up a 3 pack of the Flexifoil Stacker 6's. That should provide unlimited forward speed. Question is, will it get me into the 50's? Only time will tell!!

[Sutpikfortuborg]

Good run!..I suggest you buy a libre,JoJo,Airea or a PKD kite,all brands of current or former worldchampions in all classes..Looks great your buggy though Nice polish!!I stick to my libre V-max with fatties..Anyway,come visit some danish buggydrivers at Romo anytime..(yes,we have beer).

[popeyethewelder]

[benji0123]

[popeyethewelder]

Its the PTW SuperBug, I made it

[mitago]

Amazing vid, popeye ! Great run and great buggy !

[xwantier]

I would advice you to use shorter lines (15m is ggod) and thiner wheels on your buggy.

You'll see a huge gain in control and speed.

[erhik]

thank for the quick reply sisal it is for my bug if you ever come to holland to ride the beaches here let me know here maybe we can ride togheter

[popeyethewelder]

Love to erhik, thanks

[erhik]

you rock like your bugs and your style

how do you keep your bug so shiney ?

didnt read about that on your site

[popeyethewelder]

Once they are shiney, they are very easy to keep clean, quick rince with a hose and dry...takes about 3 minutes.

To get them shiney in the first place, use sisal mops...allow plenty of time

[gohiegohie]

what size kite are you using???

[bada55ba55]

Very impressive - but then your buggies are built like brick wotsits :-)

I'm sure you can go faster than that!

[popeyethewelder]

I sure as hell want to, thats for sure

[Samfootski]

what was the wind?

[popeyethewelder]

Says on the video 22-28mph

[wolfsgrauweherder]

Hey, I know what this feels like; when you've got the right combination of wind speed/direction, tide and empty (and fast) beach. It makes you feel very alive! Thanks for your comment.

[Helmuuuut]

Nice Buggies!

Do you sell them?

[popeyethewelder]

now and again yes, when I have made something better

[bikinmad]

cool video, which kite and size where you using?

[popeyethewelder]

Ozone Access1 4m

[carltb]

[Helmuuuut]

Nice Buggys ;-)

You build them yourself?

[popeyethewelder]

Yes I build all my buggies check out the web site in the description of this video

[popeyethewelder]

Just to make a comment here, before it gets asked. The video is in real time and has not ben sped up or altered in anyway, virtually all the runs you see in this video I am doing 50+mph, even with Dane sat on my axle. Hope you enjoy the ride.
