There was an article some time ago in the Dutch magazine "Vlieger" but I would like to have more info. While thinking about it some questions came up: should the blades be straight or curved? what is the best "cutting edge"? How about mounting the blades of speed skates?

When I look outside it's raining Peter, so you have to hurry ;-) I don't have any ice blades under my buggy, but it's something I definitely will do before the next ice period. Here's what I know: Use curved blades, they go faster. Sharpen them as knives and keep them like that, otherwise you'll drift. And of course you should use stainless steel. The question I have is how to mount them. They probably should have the same height as a buggy wheel (well, half the height). Should they bey mounted tight ? see you on the ice, sometime... emiel >Hope someone can save me some time experimenting, >Peter >Greetings from Holland >Peter de Jong >A&F Custom Kites Werkhoven NL Emiel Stroeve The Netherlands miel@knoware.nl --------------------------------------------------------------------------- <<< *** http://www.euronet.nl/users/mielse/index.html *** >>> = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Date: Sun, 7 Jan 1996 15:46:22 -1000 From: Hans Schepker Message-Id: <30F0776E.221F@top.monad.net> Organization: Division of Applied Sciences, Harvard University Subject: re: Ice Buggying Hi Peter, I have been buggying on snow and ice for three winters now and gained some expirience.

Doing 360 degree turn is a piece of (ice)cake, as is skating sideways. Top speeds of approx 18 mph through 1 inch of water on top of the ice. In short, it was wet 'n wild ( cold too ). Do you think we should change the steering skate into a long, or relatively short skate ?? The one we had, sucked !!!

There I found some references to buggying on ice. Are there any tips, plans or advice floating around on how to tune the buggy for going on ice? Or maybe on snow covered surfaces? I think someone from Canada has posted recently something, but I couldn't find it in the archives. Peter, any advice from Sweden? howmanydays and counting til Fanoe, Bernhard -- +--------------------------------------------------+--------------------+ | Bernhard Malle Tel: +49 7305 22203 priv. | Go fly a gecko !! | | Ulm, Germany Fax: +49 7305 22203 +--------------------+ | email: Bernhard.Malle@dbag.ulm.daimlerbenz.com | | WWW: http://www.pc-labor.uni-bremen.de:80/kites/wwwkites/index.html | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Date: Fri, 23 Feb 1996 01:33:44 -1000 From: Niko Paul Bovenberg Message-Id: <312DA618.1FA@xs4all.nl> Organization: XS4ALL, networking for the masses Subject: Re: Ice buggying Ask him!
