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 […]

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 […]

This is the power of photoshop, the original photo which is a great shot taken by Lauren Mcgavin at the No Barriers13 meet. I took 3-400 photos myself so was happy when I saw Laurens photo with me in it, she kindly sent it to me, and I could not resist playing around with photoshop […]

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 […]
