Family Ride !!

I got some footage the other day in Galveston with the family on the buggy. I didn't add any music so you can hear my son screaming in excitement. He had a blast. He kept telling me to 'Go faster .. go faster!!'



After watching this, it reminds me of the mopeds back home with 5 people in the back seat !!! :singing:

Realy nice day. Nothing better than good times with the family. Enjoy the little man while he's little.

WOW! The most particpation from my wife I get is the chin music about me being gone to do it! Your a lucky man! Loved the vid!

Nice to see the back seat thing taking off:thumbup:. No such thing as a kid that doesn't like a buggy ride:wee:

Good job van. Way to stress test that buggy dude!:lol:

van - 22-12-2010 at 03:11 PM

haha... yeah .. it was great. My wife is the best!! She's always with me when I go to the beach. This was the first time my wife and son was part of the action. I think she finally got the idea why I'm so hooked on this sport.


Cheezy .. that was Dylan's 19m Venom that I borrowed from him while he was testing his new ATB. It was a lot more stable than the flysurfer I was flying. He had a GPS on his bar. It's a pretty good idea since there's no place to mount one on a board.

Sweeeet Video Van!! nice fog light too!, if i were you i'd be out there at night doing some recon on all of the beach bums. Is that a PL on an Ozone Bar?

Kenny ..

I thought about running with my front lights and then some glow sticks on the kite. :lol: I bet the police would get some UFO calls. That kite was Dylan's 19m venom II on a zero 4/7 bar. Very stable kite, just park and ride.

:lol: Cute little goober. Awesome vid! Made me laugh the whole way through. Get them addicted to kites early! :thumbup:

Great flick!funny effect at the end- where the frame rate of the camera must have been in sync with the rotation of the front wheel and the knobbies passing by- made it look like the wheel was not turning at times but you were moving

Wife and I thought watching ya'll cruise away all piled up on the buggy was really cool. Instead of towing multiple buggies, you just incorporated an additional seat to your rig. Very nice addition!

flexiblade - 3-1-2011 at 08:12 PM

I think I may add a seat after watching that - really nice work all the way around on your buggy - as was said earlier "good stress test". And that is a good idea about mounting the gps to the bar - I could maybe actually read my gps now while I'm moving - totally stealing that idea. Great vid.

van - 3-1-2011 at 08:40 PM

When I had my wife and kid on the back seat, it reminded me of the mopeds back home in Saigon. Some of those guys would pile a family of 5 on the back of a moped!!! :eekdrull:

The GPS on the bar idea has to go to Dylan ...:D since that was his kite ;-)

I should be able to finish a better mount and backrest for the passenger later this week. I'll post some pics of close up of how it's mounted.
