where does someone get one of those buggies. There are a ton of fresh picked bean fields out there right now ready to be ridden.

Buggy'in is it's own sport and very popular in England. I'm sure the buggies are widely available. You need a very flat surface as you get some real speed going real fast. They use small foils and steer the buggy with their feet.

If I lived closer to ya i'd let ya take mine out for a spin. It was something i tried in the early years just to keep my stoke high but i've found that buggying isn't that much fun.
here's a place to buy if you're interested.

Theres actually a dude in LIbertyville that makes these. He makes them for kites and also with windsurf sails.
I was doing a job at his neighbors house and saw all this crazy stuff coming out of his gagage where he has a huge shop.
Good guy
