Buggy Tricks |
2 Wheel |
Drive across wind keeping the kite low. Sit straight up in the buggy to uptain a high centre of gravety.
Move the kite into a higher position while pressing down the downwind footpeg while you steer the frontwheel a bit upwind. Do not lean toward the kite.
When driving on 2 wheels keep your balance using your body and steering the frontwheel. |

2 Wheel in Reverse |
| Well...just like a normal 2 wheel trick, you just go backwards. Hmmmm
- hurts like hell. |
|
180 - Reverse - 180 |
| Drive across wind and lean back. Without moving the kite, steer the buggy downwind making thebuggy slide sidewards. When you have turned about 150 dg move the frontwheel into neutral position. The buggy will then automaticly go straight into reverse. Be careful not to go downwind in reverse. To move back into forward position, turn the buggy downwind while moving your body forward. |

360 Upwind |
Drive across wind holding the kite high and without moving the kite steer the buggy upwind making it slide sidewards.
When your buggy has turned about 90 dg move your body forward and steer in the opposite direction and the buggy will go into revers and after that into a sideslide. Then, when the buggy has turned about 270 dg, steer the opposite again to go back into forward driving.
Practice at a slippery beach area, as shown on the video clip, it makes it easy.
BE CAREFUL - THIS TRICK MAY HURT.
