Merci beaucoup, Edouard😃

Thank you, guyredshaw!!! I like the Maasvlakte video with the wind turbines, too.

War ganz nett, aber scheiss kalt.

😅👍

It depends on the conditions, but I would say R1V4. It‘s very stable and best downwind. And it has good power for riding in soft sand. The Boom is a little bit more difficult to ride, but very good up- and downwind. Both kites well trimmed have very good acceleration. VMG2 is very stable and best upwind, but downwind and acceleration is poor.

@@juanvaldez1 Thanks for that Juan and the Videos. Getting current Buggy information is difficult in Australia and I have been a bit out of it since my U-Turn Nitro's were the leading edge of performance.

👍

Wow, thats 5.5km/h faster than my personal record!

Thank you! I will try to a best of every xmas. 2016 in 2025…

I liked the little Toxic 10years ago, but the fabric was too thick and heavy for the bigger sizes. The 8 was like driving a truck😅

@juanvaldez1 I agree the fabric was too thick. I had the 8. It was slow, but felt very locked in and solid.

@@D3moknight Yes, nice beginner kite👍

Ich hoffe, Du kommst in 2025 mal wieder auf die Wiese😃

@juanvaldez1 Thank you very much my friend, I am a lover of traction kites, I like your paragliding type kites

Es kommt natürlich auch auf den Fahrer an. Marijn ist ein super Handlekiter und schwer zu überholen. Klar war ich mit der 7er unterpowert, aber vorher mit der 9er hatten die Handlekiter keine Chance. So waren wir ungefähr gleich schnell. Ich habe höchsten Respekt davor, dass jemand mit einem alten Handlekite so schnell Kurs fahren kann👍

Jan, I think you should look for some Vapors or Spirits too. Would be nice to ride the parcours with more handle kite pilots in the future!!

@@MHVDE3497 I try to get some, but I will never be able to follow you with fixed bridle kites

I wonder, you are a good driver, so why not also with handle kites😊

@@MHVDE3497 I think I could be a good fixed bridle kiter but that would cost me a lot of time for training. But I would never reach your skills. So why should I spend much time for flying with oldtimers? Depowerkites are the "new" standard since 10 years...

De rien!😊

Yes, it was😃 Riding fixed bridle seems to be hard work😉

It separates the men from the boys indeed😂

@@MHVDE3497 😂👍

🥪🥤

Me, too😊

Nice video's of a nice week. Is a course special of our nice ride together on the parcour in the making?😊

@@MHVDE3497 No, it‘s ready

I will post it tomorrow😃

🎉😊

👍

Thank you! Greetings to Texas!

Ja, macht Spass, aber es stirbt aus. Man bekommt ja auch keine vernünftigen Handlekites mehr...

@@juanvaldez1 ja leider😢

Ne Menge!!!😄

Designmässig?

@@juanvaldez1 Falsches Wort? Das Schwarz/Rot sieht einfach super aus.

​@@kitelehrling Meinst Du meine Boom? Die ist schwarz/orange☺

​@@juanvaldez1ja, meinte natürlich die Boom.

@@kitelehrling Ich wunderte mich, weil sie ja in diesem Video kaum zu sehen ist...

👍

Always😁

Drone is always nice😃

Stimmung ist immer top😁

Thank you, Mark!

Er wollte mit Michas Scooter die Düne hoch...

@@juanvaldez1 Au Mann...... Das sollte er doch lassen.....

Hi Mark! Please contact Eric Leegwater / Wendy Kuper for more info.

Still have a Baby 1.8 Beamer great for 'cruising' those squally 30knot plus days where using a race kite gets you an OOB experience🤣

👍

Hi Adam! I rode the 6 only 2 times, but not at the limit. I think, you can use it 5-8bft. It‘s a very good kite - fast and very stable. But I also have R1V4 7.0 and PLKB 6.0, so no real need for the Instinct. too many kites…

A 7 is hard to get…

Thank you, Chook! There is no MG Buggy in the video? Eric rides an Apexx and me a GT Race. I think the camber depends on the axle: a steel axle doesn´t bend, so it should have neutral camber. My carbon axle bends, so the camber is a little negative. I think, 1 or 2 degees have no effect with bigfoot wheels. Air pressure is much more important. With discwheels camber is important, but they all ride with negative camber.

@@juanvaldez1 Thank you for your reply. My error Juan I was tired and meant GT Race. The 4 that I have seen here in Australia have very noticeable negative camber. 2 of which it is very obvious with disc wheels fitted. In my mind it is the opposite to what is needed. Having the top of the wheels being slightly closer together adds more tyre traction/resisting the side pull. I totally agree with your comment regarding tyre pressures. Pressures do make an enormous difference. I'm running ceramic beads in my Bigfoots and this balances them well.

@@ChookHendo Isn´t it negative camber if the top of the wheels being slightly closer together?

@@juanvaldez1 Yes your right I got lost there. I need to pay more attention to what I'm thinking!! ;)

Jeden Tag besseres Wetter und besserer Wind als angesagt…

Don‘t dream - do it😃👍

Thank you!

Thanks a lot, mate!😃

Vielen Dank!

Thanks a lot, popeyethewelder. You are a legend!!!

Love it, too!!!💜

The Boom needs a little bit more wind and good riding skills, then it´s a little bit faster. The R1V4 is easier to ride, maybe the better all-in-one-kite.

@@juanvaldez1 Thanks for your honest reply. Cheers.

Thanks a lot, Mark!😊

Bedankt, Rene!😊

Immer ganz vorne

Yummy!

🤣👍

77km/h = 41,58kt = 21,39m/s = 9bft

@@juanvaldez1 You are crazy man )) Or very brave ))

The stormy wind is not the problem, but the little bumps on the beach, made by strong wind are…

@@juanvaldez1 ​ @juanvaldez1 My baggy has some smaller wheels, app 380 mm... but kite takes no more than 10 m/s, otherwise it getting naughty )))
