Favorite style?


With so many things you can do with a kite buggy, what's your favorite?

I love cruising but I'm a speed freak at heart.

It saddens me :sniff: that you have left off "TV Lounger" considering how many pics we have seen of buggies in living rooms.

FWIW: It is possible to set up a 6 person tent in the living room, you just have to be careful of its placement in relation to the ceiling fan.

ATB,
Sam

cruising in a buggy and a board but leaning toward freestyle. At SOBB last fall I got up on 2 wheels and rode it for about 10 seconds. Loved it, but don't know how I did it or how to do it again. On the water I am Cruising and pushing to freestyle.

Having Ivanpah in my back yard kind of spoils me. I like it all, cruising, speed runs, freestyle.... It just depends on my mood.

For me it depends on my mood and the wind that day. Some days i like speed somedays it's free style depending on who else shows up that day it might be cruising. And last but not least it's usually all of the above

Im pretty green too- so mostly try to stay away from OBE's (one so far) yet still working at power sliding as much as possible.
gotta admit- speed is pretty addictive until that tree line gets really close.:o

You should have added off-road to the poll. Speed comes second for me then TV lounger.

Cruising is just what we do to pass the time hoping for that extra burst of wind for speed. It's a really fun day cruising at 25-40 mph. Last day like that, I ran 70 miles which is my highest yet.

Oh, by the way. Tricks are for kids! :P ;-)

I like going fast, but considering my personal best is less than 50mph, I qualify that as just cruising.
;)
Power slides are fun, but I generally do those are lower speeds and on soft sand (wipe-outs hurt less).
