Lukus 9N Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Looks fun, but dangerous. 50ft in the air is going to hurt when you hurtle back down, even if you don't mean to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiiMo Posted September 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 (edited) I would like a couple more but this could get expensive fast lol, are those ones you have used or do you have more than one ?? Few more goes later got a few jumps in hopefully the rain will hold off tommorow for some more fun Edited September 9, 2008 by SiiMo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robrabbit Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 the pics are of a pepper, that the blade and raptor belong to a mate who's obsessed he has about twelve! loli just have the 3.6m beamer and a small 1.6m one for if its too windy, will be getting a 4.5m+ one soon hopefully though for those windless days.
