This looks sweet! The first time I watched it I was like....."how the *****!" I reckon when I get my Manta back I might need to give this a go Looks like a really nice move to try.

I reckon it could be done in a flexi....just go in fast and hold on....seatbelt will probably be required....

Maybe, from personal exp even upwind turns in a racing situation are pretty near impossible, the buggy just goes into a slide. Maybe in the right conditions though . Would look cool.

You're probably either turning too quickly James, or haven't dumped the power from the kite before you start to turn... Flexis are pretty easy to tack, PL comps arn't so easy...
