Here is a review.
At JIBE I was helping Van assemble his buggies. I found that even though it seemed very narrow his bigfoot was just right for me with my harness on. I
think because I said it is an awesome buggy I should be one of his team riders and get a wicked good discount!!!! Just kidding or am I?
But it is a great buggy real comfy and I bet a smooth ride(I didn't ride it) Next time I will.

I rode the snot out of both of those buggies. Comfortable, sturdy, HOOJ improvements over the first couple generations for sure. I felt as smooth and
secure at 40mph as I felt at 10 mph. Very nice buggies indeed. The seats were well constructed and stylish. I have to say I was impressed!

RE: VTT Team Rider
There are several factors that make everyone who owns a VTT bug a team rider
- Vans EXTREME generosity when it comes to pricing on parts and accessories.
- He is always experimenting and upgrading so each bug is unique/ a prototype. This spring it took us three rounds of phone calls and emails for me
to get the measurements of the standard fork and downtube to him so he could make a Bigfoot fork for it as he could not remember what measurements he
had used
- he asks for, receives and responds to user feedback on all of his equipment with regard to development and evolution of the brand and product.

Van I will see you at the Fall WBB and I plan to fulfill that obligation . BTW
TheKidd rode the crap out of the one he has for about 5 hrs. last Saturday. It held up great and he was pushing it hard. Jumps, bumps, and sliding on
asphalt. Thanks again he really appreciates it.
By the way I would have ridden the big foot but Mougl was in it all the time

I wasn't in it ALL the time 
I took the stinger race (black one on bf) for about an hour. Had the stinger (yellow on discs) for 2-3 hours. Again, they held up well considering I
typically ride hard! Tracked very well and nice solid feel.

Agree with all the above. Working with Van was great. It was a nice surprise to get pic updates as the build progressed knowing the buggy was being
made just for me. Makes owning one more special than a mass produced buggy IMHO. His seats are just spectacular too. I have a less than stellar
lumbar, and his seat gives me the ability to cruise around all day with comfort.
VTT buggies are well worth the price and wait during build time.
Thank you again Van.
Like the others......
