I was on a 9m FYX , Mike was on a 7m.

The tyre actually got a puncture and started going down before the final impact. Have since reapired it and am still running them tubeless with loads of pressure.
Had another 30 knot session last weekend and trashed the belly pan and seat due to the biger tyres putting more pressure on everything else...doh...
Seat is at the upholsterers at the moment getting some attention.. Itll be back in action next weekend , Woohoo!

The 7m FYX Frenzy has to be my favourite Dune kite, backed up by the 10m Manta.

Only the seat thats good,
Dunes are very good at finding the weak link in buggys,
piece by piece you make them stronger or add suspension,
but we do it anyway because it's soooo much fun
