It was a great day at the park.:yes:
I got there around 8:00am with no wind but
about an hour later it picked up and it was on.
We had a good sized crew out with about 8 buggys and a couple of boarders.
I got some geat footage this time...just kinda sucks that I have to do the filming and not be in the clip.....next time!
Sunburnt and tired but worth every minute.

:wee: Very nice !!! :wee:

Looks like I missed I great day . It's just not the same freak show without Dirtslide though!
I think having Vanier to myself yesterday wasn't so bad with that crowd.

My footage is being uploaded right now but yours puts mine to shame !:bigok:

I'll make a POINT of filming you next time out. I have some poor footage of your dual kite tandem last weekend. :dunno:

Thanks Ken....there is about 8 seconds of footage at the 2:06 mark that I am glad I got (passing hand slap)
I will try more of those next time from a different angle.
I was also amazed at Dustysocks out there flying her 5 meter reflex and ripping it up...who said girls can't fly?....Oh yah...PL wasn't it?.....WRONG!...lol
We had 7 buggies all flying together at one point all in very close to each other.....somehow we all made through with no crashes( I was kickin myself for not getting it on film)

Great vid there.
We do the 'hand slap' thing here on our flat plains but it's a bit scary when you see how close the rear wheels come to each other .

Beware of the hand slap on the playa! Blake and I did one a few yrs ago at 40mph and we almost broke each others hands!:Ange09:...................aj

P.S. I always enjoy the Garry Point footage... wasn't that "Lunatic Fringe" at the very beginning of the clip?

I miss my Syn now.

PS. could i get edited from the video? LOoKs BaD wearing a U-Turn Shirt, riding a Nitro Evo II and a huge U-Turn STickEr on the back of the ApeXX. Good things its not mine.!!! :crazy:

That looks like you guys have just as much fun as the SoFKA boys do when we all get together. The hand slap really appealed to my appreciation of relationships with my friends. Then I started envisioning how close the rear wheels had to get and how far 2 wide axle buggy pilots would have to reach to connect. It'd be close.
