Replacing Landsegler Bearings

Bearings can gradually deteriate, sometimes without you even realising it, even though my wheels still spun quite freely for a long time, I had noticed when traveling to a buggy destination, with my buggy sat on the trailer behind me, the wheels that once would gradually turn in the wind had …..stopped turning. Now if […]


Bolton Le Sands Summer Meet 2013

The recent Bolton Le Sands meet was in my eyes, a complete success, Bolton le Sands, by the way is a large village and civil parish of the City of Lancaster in Lancashire, NW England, it also has one of the best unrestricted non bucket and spade beaches in the UK, it can also be a dangerous […]


Mablethorpe UK Delivers the Easterlies

We dont get many, but when we do we like the welcome the easterly winds gracing Auntie Mables shores, and there is no better way than  to get your kiting gear on the beach at the first opportunity. There was a nice crowd this weekend, probably more freestylers than anything else, and the skills these guys displayed […]

Five Hours of Polishing

I started work a few days ago on the last set of the Nike Tick style front fork plates I will ever use, and this set of forks when I have finished will cradle a Landesegler NABX/Wet UL wheel, and it will be in good company too. They are going to a good friend of mine, Mike Kenley […]

A few more photos from a great session in May 12, I took my youngest son Danny 22, he took most of these photos, and considering he had never used a DLSR camera, I believe he did a pretty good job.             This was also his very first time in […]


Sand on my Wheels

Well, it been a while again, my last trip after traveling North West to Bolton Le Sands was a complete wash out, and a complete waste of £70 worth of diesel, I felt like I was chomping at the bit to get out again, it must be about 6 weeks since my wheels touched the […]


Landsegler Wheels, some science

WHERE EVERY GRAM DOES COUNT More reasons why Landsegler wheels and light years ahead of their rivals, to Landsegler this is not about just rushing in, copying or taking short cuts into supplying disc wheels to the masses. These are the formula 1 of kite buggy disc wheels, years of science and testing have gone […]


Landsegler Price Change

Around a 25% price drop……these wheels are the future When I say these are the future, what I am refering to is the shape size and weight of these wheels, the perfect intermediate between the full blown bigfoot and the thinner disc wheel….seen below here is the UL Beach wheel, light-alloy rim, double-walled, anodized, 16″- 100mm wide 36 […]
