nalborczyk Posted March 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Wat is a kite bike , I am on flexifoil buggy , but just trying to get up on 2 wheels Can u explain how u do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgerjc Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Just learning myself, but i'll try.. Fly on a normal reach reasonably powered, shift your weight over the downwind wheel and then flick your steering towards the kite and you will lift onto two wheels, Thats the easy bit, once up you must use your steering to balance, this is currently where i'm at, trying to stay up on 2 Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cafe.Racer Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Move your weight (physically shift your arse) over the downwind rail. When your first starting to get on two wheels, it helps a lot of people to reach down with their upwind hand and grab the siderail to help pull the buggy up.

Badger Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Its a long time since I learned but I'll do my best. On a reach, start to turn away from the kite so that you increase force on yourself and the buggy and you almost start to slide. At this point transfer your weight to the kite side, and press down on the footpeg nearest the kite, whilst lifting the one away from it (easiest if you have footstraps) a little dive of the kite into the power zone will also help get you up. Basically you then need to balance the varying force of the kite with slight steering changes. Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nalborczyk Posted March 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Cheers I try all 3 tomorrow and let you know how I get on , thanks for all the advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris P Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 this is something i have got to grips with recently, all the above will work a treat and get you on 2 wheels. The one thing i found though, it's easier to 2 wheel on one side than the other. Which ever side you feel more comfy will get you there quicker. hope that helps a little more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgerjc Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Same with everything Chris, Everyone has a natural direction preference, like Goofy and Regular foot Just keep practicing in both directions.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartiebat1599968741 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 (edited) http://www.ridelikeagirl.co.uk There's some videos in there, navigate to... Trick Guides - Flat land Buggy - 2 Wheel Tricks.... Hope they help (sorry there's no direct link to the actual trick; it's not a 'real' website so you have to navigate to the tricks you want so I don't have to pay!! ) The key part though is flicking the wheel inititally TOWARDS the kite though. Everyone assumes its away & so slide without getting up. Edited March 18, 2012 by bartiebat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
