Thanks a lot!
The wheels are like Landsegler wheels, selfmade by my friend Rinus (the guy in the other videos with number H268). We call them Rinuswheels
Thank you, Cheezy!
Yes, the GT-Race is a nice one!
I am just an average hobby rider - if you want to learn, better check out the much better competition riders.

Around 430km. From Germany via Belgium to northern France.
Like myself, this is quite a commitment to buggy. Almost 4-5 hrs driving for you to buggy in supreme location. These videos are just recreational
riding...? You guys seem pro level riders for sure. I see why you do 3 day sessions. It seems a camper is almost necessary investment for buggy
lifestyle. I noticed in many European videos this is a common accessory.

Yes, just recreational riding. Relaxing!
Some of the guys in the videos are competition riders or on a very high level. My skills are on a much lower level! A pro rider told me that the only
way for learning how to ride on a high level is to do races. I dont do any races...
A camper is very useful for traveling to the spots, but its no must have. I use a tent or I rent a mobilehome at the camping.
Fantastic race, Juan! Great filming/editing as always.
Out of curiosity, can you tell me more about it? Who puts it on, where does everyone come from, how many laps etc... Is this like a major European
thing, or just a bunch of friends getting together? Did you guys finish however many laps you needed to, or do they just count how many laps you do in
8 hrs?
Is that one of those popup kickstarter tents in the poster frame on your video? Do they work as advertised?
The event was hosted by the french buggyclub Les Islandais. Its a funrace, no official championship, but the best european riders compete there. I am
glad that slower hobbyriders are welcome, too. The riders come from france,
netherlands, belgium, germany, UK, spain and of course colombia. OK, the colombian team consists of german colombians
Yes, they count the laps the teams do in 8h. I dont know how many because the results are not online.
I think the tent is a standard one. Maybe a quechua from the shop decathlon...
Good video I don't follow the racing side of things, so I'm surprised
to see that you all fly depower. There was a time when no one flew depower. I guess they started to win races?
I think it started around 2013 with Ozone Chrono. Nowadays you can not compete without a depower racekite. The 8h was dominated by the brandnew Peter
Lynn Aero2.

I'm curious if any bonefide racer takes the Born-Kite SS RaceStar series seriously? Have any shown up on the racing circuit? It has a 6:1 AR,
similar I believe to the leading DP race kites out there but I don't know if there are any advantages for SS in a race. Packing small, being light
weight, and taking off / staying aloft in low wind just don't seem to me like advantages for racing, but I have zero exposure to the race circuit for
kite buggies. Any insight on this topic would be appreciated.
Sorry right up front for the temporary thread hijack. I love your videos and watch each of them as you post them and absolutely share your stoke.
Your own beer bottles! Outstanding.
I do miss buggying at Les Hemmes, especially when the tide is low enough to ride out to the tower.
Pretty much everyone is on de-power foil kites for racing now.
Fixed bridal race kites are just not competitive any more. The de-power foils have such a larger wind window which is the main reason for them staying
ahead of the pack.
On a 2-3 mile course the wind changes pretty much all the time so it makes sense to be powered up all the time using a de-power foil.
They are easier to fly too.
