I don't think Parastorm has been around for a few years and also haven't seen anything for a while from Tornado buggies in the UK

Maarten stopped making MG buggies earlier this year

Elliot still has the Virus buggy with a lot of extras you can buy but they don't make it easy to find

A while back Kent (windspeed Pro) wrote that they had stopped buggy building as they were working on the next generation Ivanapah but that was quite a while ago (last year)

It seems our Brother "screwyfits" has started making buggies. And they are sweet looking rides. I think he said the name was "Overkill Kite Buggies".

Libre makes some nice buggies, and I think Libre's off brand (Zebra) makes buggies as well. If you're interested in Race style buggies, Libre makes the Dragster and the Majestic that both look pretty sweet.

And yes VTT is no longer PRODUCING buggies, but Van will still make a 1 off if you are patient and willing to wait. Errol, you know Van's quality.

I'm going to take a nap now

Now this is interesting !

Screwy and Sean's buggies are about the coolest looking ones I have ever seen. Not only do the look the job but they get it done! :thumbup:

I can't imagine what these things must cost if they come complete with the steering dampeners and all the other bling?

I can vouch for Sean's work. He did an amazing job making me a set of aluminum wheels for my Coyotes. I was asking for simple billet wheels but received a set identical to my original ones! :cool:

Kites: 2.5m Profoil , Quadrifoil XL kitesurfer, NPW 5 Danger.
Flexifoil: 1.7m Sting, 4.9m Blade 3, 9m Blade 2.
Flysurfer : 19m Speed 2 SA, 7m Pulse
Peter Lynn :18m Phantom, 15m Synergy, 10m Synergy, 1200 Farc, 460 Sarc, 130 Tarc, 5m Peel, 4.2m , 6.4, 8.5 C-Quads, 3.5 LS2 single skin.

Rides: Flexi / P.L. Frankin'Buggy , Shaped + straight skiis, sand skis, Coyote blades. Core 95 ATB. RKB R2 ATB .

I found it amazing that Sean and Screwy got all the geometry right on their first try. Their buggies came out of the paint booth ready to go fast.

So that's The Alum Wheels. Too bad the Coyote Boot isn't made same quality as frames and those wheels. (Just snapped the buckle on one)

I know Screwy designed at least one buggy of his own before the " overkill " . I think he learned a lot on that one and together they nailed it with this one?

So ... the million dollar question? How many thousand will one of these set you back?

There are pictures of them on facebook on their personal pages as well on the IBX facebook page. Possibly on the IBX web page. The IBX page is available on facebook whether you are a member or not. No tinfoil hats required either.:P I'm not sure of the privacy settings on Dirk Hemza or Sean Venes pages.
