Team X Zone
Here's a compilation of freestyle buggy stunts by the guys of team X-Zone circa 1999. (This is what digital video looked like back then!)
Some background: Back in the early days of power kiting and kite buggying, before the turn of the millennium, a bunch of British lads calling themselves "Team X-Zone" put a bunch of videos up on their own web site (this was before TH-cam) showing some pretty stunning freestyle moves for the time. When the gang disbanded and the X-Zone website disappeared, these historic videos appeared to be lost forever.
Tidying up the spare room though , I came across some old CDROM backups containing what I remember to be the best of the X-Zone vids. Here they are for posterity! Enjoy!

This is a classic bit of buggy video lore, back from the dead! One of the members of Team X-Zone rides to the beach in his kite buggy, negotiating roundabouts, traffic and some seriously hairy moments. Look ma, no brakes!

Fastburst camera bug
มุมมอง 2711 ปีที่แล้ว
Here's a video assembled with shots taken using Android's Fastburst Camera. The app apparently has a bug - it saves files out-of-order, so when they're assembled into a video, the temporal progression is messed up, making the video resemble footage shot with a camera with a defective claw mechanism. I assembled the video using the venerable mencoder, with the following options: mencoder mf://*....

Riding the PTW Cougar 2.5 kite bike, Achill Island, Mayo
มุมมอง 1.4K12 ปีที่แล้ว
Here's a super-short clip of me riding my PTW kite bike at Keel Beach, Achill Island on Ireland's spectacular West coast. I'm flying a first-generation Ozone Samurai two square metre kite. (The camera-shake in the clip was fixed using the DeShaker plugin for VirtualDub running in Wine on Ubuntu 11.10.) Ireland is probably one of the best countries in the world for land kiting; the wind always b...

Anyone who tells you that I can turn your Dollar bill into 20's is either high on narcotics or he's setting you up for a major fall. You see people.all forms of money is based on debt. Every dollar one earns is a bill owed to someone else multiplied by 10 15 up to 20.No such thing as a great deal. You either q bunch of suckers or victims outside looking in.Those (Elites)who game the system is running the Pyramid Ponzy scheme.Believe me when i say this.We either unite or hangs Separately.

@jpbourke Superb! Thanks so much! I've made contact with the family through my mum, so a DVD will be winging its way to you soon - nearly fifty years late! I'll be taking this video down soon, as that's been requested by the bride. Thanks again to everyone for commenting and helping to find the happy couple!

Don't think I'd see that one - ah the auld super 8...
it;'s been removed from the RTE website. Where can we find part 2?
But with high winds like that where are your kite killers man! :)
wow what tha hell ist this for an amazing wind?! nice!
Yeah do!
Many thanks - any more
Guedingen the weather I can only get back with you tomorrow morning and you are the same price as you have hey Google who is George Strait
This video was shit. But i gave a 5* just because you recycled it.
wat a great source of a alternative fuel!!!
they flew out to a honeymoon abroad! back in the mid-sixties! the couple must have been loaded with money.
My parents went to Paris for their honeymoon 1953. They were not loaded. Lots of people went to London back then!
I was going to say that is a strong umbrella, but than i noticed the strings. Intresting sport guys, now lest see howmany other sports wee can create with the use of an umbrella. River rafting anyone?? sky diving?
thats sweet
I think Joan Flynn is the current owner of the Downshire House Hotel in Blessington (which closed a couple of years ago). She might have records going back to 62/63.
The limo's registration plate looks like IZD 885 to me. Anyway, a Ford Taurus crosses the road, which leads me to believe the film was shot in 1963.
crazy
Wow. He really got some speed with that thing. However, I would have gotten on the board first, THEN open the umbrella. That way you don't have to risk the wind pulling on you while getting on the board.
The wind was so strong and gusty that if I tried to open an umbrella on the mountainboard, I would probably fall down wind straight away ! :)
Ben, How did you find the film? Regards, Kevin
Hi seftonwallet - No, I didn't think of that! What a great idea. I'll check it out. cheers Ben
Have you contacted RTE? I think their Dublin offices are in Donnybrook. I'm guessing they would be interested in helping trace the couple as it would make a nice local TV feature for the local news.
