2011 Fall WBB Role Call! Come on folks time to get stoked!

 Pages:  1  

shehatesmyhobbies - 31-8-2011 at 03:16 PM

O.K., I know it is still a little more than a month out, but I can't hardly wait to hit the beach! Can the Wildwood Buggy Bash get here soon enough! In case you haven't heard the dates are Thur Oct 20th thru Sunday Oct 23rd. Of course you can come early and take advantage of a nearly empty beach! I know I will be. This year the fall bash looks to be larger than last year! Lots of new people coming. PL North America Rep., Ricardo will be attending as well as his play mate Dino Arias from Dakitez! PL ATB Team Rider Adam Bedinghaus will also be attending again! Time for another acrobatic air show! Especially now that he is looping that big Charger! PL Buggy Team Rider Todd Stevick will also be attending. We all know he always puts on a good show! Also Chris from HQ and Van from VTT will be attending.

I know a lot of new people are coming and I know they will be stoked once they see the beach and get to know all the people! This years attendance could possibly top last years fall bash!

I also know that the Pier is going to be open for a Halloween Fright Night both Friday and Saturday night. I have been told it is going to be good!

Don't forget to call and get your reservations at Shalimar resorts! There is a thread on all that info.
If you need camping info let me know, I will post the info!

See you guys soon!

Todd - 31-8-2011 at 05:54 PM

Whoop Whoop I need to lear a kite loop :karate:

g00fba11 - 31-8-2011 at 06:43 PM

hey Van...... where are you........... :dunno:

Arrive Thursday nite.... leave on the Monday red eye.....

van - 31-8-2011 at 06:49 PM

Right here waiting for WWBB!! Didn't get a chance to call Shalimar today .. will have to remember to call tomorrow.

martinipro - 1-9-2011 at 06:40 AM

I will definitely be attending.
I am planning on being there for 3 days.
What would be the "better" days to be there. Fri-Sun or Sat-Mon?

Thanks for the input.

shehatesmyhobbies - 1-9-2011 at 07:31 AM

I would say Friday thru Sunday. A lot of people start heading out Sunday afternoon. IMO.

ragden - 1-9-2011 at 07:37 AM

I would say it totally depends on the conditions. If Monday looks amazing, people will stay (those that can). Though it is more likely that people will be there Friday thru Sunday due to work obligations (easier to take Friday off than a Monday).

silvereaglekiter - 1-9-2011 at 07:54 AM

ill be in early in the week till Sunday. I'm ready to test out all the new parts to my buggy.





:Ange09:----is it October yet---:Ange09:

bobalooie57 - 1-9-2011 at 08:02 AM

+1 on the Fri.-Sun., though I hope to make the drive down on Thursday and return on Monday, If the wind is good I imagine Don will stay even longer! :D

flyguy0101 - 1-9-2011 at 08:04 AM

Martin- as raggden said depends on the weather but if you are planning on boarding as well as buggy then Monday is looking like the better day due to the tide times. Could be an issue on friday and saturday because low tide is so early in the am. Given that i am planning on staying through monday. fwiw
Scott

DAKITEZ - 1-9-2011 at 08:45 AM

I will flying in to Philly on wed and doing some site seeing then to ww thursday night or friday morning ... leaving sunday afternoon

buggydanny - 1-9-2011 at 09:36 AM

Adam, Will you be teaching or giving a boarding clinic?

Dan

snowspider - 1-9-2011 at 09:47 AM

WELDNGOD - 1-9-2011 at 02:14 PM

Kober - 1-9-2011 at 03:10 PM

Jaymz - 1-9-2011 at 09:18 PM

Me and the kid will be there Fri-Sun.

van - 1-9-2011 at 09:28 PM

Got the room booked for thursday to monday. Can't wait to see my kite family again.

silvereaglekiter - 2-9-2011 at 07:00 AM

just scoping out Wildwood's official sight you guys picked a good week. Nothing else on the calendar but a hunted house on the boardwalk for the weekend
Quote:

Moreys Fears-Terror on the Boardwalk
Moreyﾒs Piers will host an epic Halloween event for the first time ever. Moreyﾒs Fears: Terror on the Boardwalk will transform Marinerﾒs Landing into a nightmare for six nights in October. Aside from dark incarnations of the Sea Serpent, SuperScooters, Tea Cups, Pirates of the Wildwoods, Rollieﾒs Coaster and Moby Dick, look for an especially traumatizing Ghost Ship experience as well as two frightening all-new Halloween attractions that will only be available during Moreyﾒs Fears. There will also be a twisted freak show and themed food and beverages.

Fri-sat sounds like fun.

Drewculous - 2-9-2011 at 11:32 AM

:no:

chudalicious - 2-9-2011 at 11:37 AM

Anderson and I will be there either Wed/Thur -Sun.
Hope we get some nice days... :thumbup:

DAKITEZ - 2-9-2011 at 11:54 AM

room booked for thurs - sunday.

The boardwalk event sounds fun. Kite mamma might have to hold little rickys hand so he doesn't get scared :)

viperkid181 - 2-9-2011 at 12:13 PM

Powerws - 11-9-2011 at 04:45 PM

OK, so heres the deal! I may bring my wife, but her idea of a hotel is the Ritz Carlton. What are the nicest hotels in Wildwood NJ. I may just come by myself becquse it would be easier!:cool::wee:

WELDNGOD - 11-9-2011 at 04:52 PM

they are all closed except the shalimar and days inn .... off season

WELDNGOD - 11-9-2011 at 04:53 PM

Powerws - 11-9-2011 at 06:54 PM

Hotel Booked! 20th-23rd Working on flight and rental car. Have to fly into Philly then drive (3hr). Still better than the 2 stop 8 hour trip to fly into Atlantic City. Will booking flight soon! Staying at Shalimar. Stoked to say the least!

aronma - 12-9-2011 at 04:25 AM

I'm planning on making it this year. Flying in from AZ and hope to be at the beach Saturday morning.....

flyguy0101 - 12-9-2011 at 11:27 AM

I am ready for some night flying this year- just picked up 3 dozen glow sticks for the event- FYI if you have a five or below around they have them @ 12 sticks for a buck. Looking to book my room this week or next- should get there Fri morning and leaving Monday afternoon- best tides for landboarding will be sunday and monday
Scott

shehatesmyhobbies - 12-9-2011 at 12:05 PM

The night fly we had last time was awesome! Gotta remember to get some sticks myself! I also have two of the small battery operated rope lites! Maybe give them a shot! See you soon Scott!

shehatesmyhobbies - 12-9-2011 at 12:06 PM

I will actually be arriving Wed mid day! Staying till Sunday late I hope!

shehatesmyhobbies - 13-9-2011 at 02:48 PM

I am very excited to see several new names showing up for the first time! Those of you who have not yet been to a buggy bash are sure to be in for a thrill!

dandre - 13-9-2011 at 02:50 PM

I'll be there.

doneski - 13-9-2011 at 03:09 PM

Flight and rental car booked! Just time to sit back and wait!:yes:

WELDNGOD - 16-9-2011 at 02:31 PM

Hey Powerws , how long would it take to drive to WW? I live in Hampton Roads area VA ,and we drive up in4-5 hrs. Once you get a buggy (and you will), flying is gonna be problematic..... See ya there!:wee:

Powerws - 17-9-2011 at 05:28 AM

11 hours!:o I will determine which route to go and have the buggy shipped to me.

hiaguy - 17-9-2011 at 03:20 PM

after lurking around this board for a while and learning from y'all it started to bother me that i don't know any other kiters, so...

easy... getting time off work.
hard... getting o.k. from the boss (wife).
i got them both and will be at the shalimar on thursday evening.
i've never been to a kite event, and have never driven a buggy, but a call to don convinced me i needed to be there.
i'm totally stoked!:smilegrin:

g00fba11 - 17-9-2011 at 04:20 PM

Hiaguy.... Glad to see another with permission from the real boss joining the fun.....

I am in the same boat always trying to learn something new. This will be my first event with the pro's.....

This will be one awesome weekend.....

Welcome and see you there......

rocfighter - 17-9-2011 at 05:40 PM

OK reservations made from Thursday till Monday. Just The Kidd and myself this time though. You guys will keep an eye on us so we don't get lost right??:wee:

shehatesmyhobbies - 17-9-2011 at 06:11 PM

Hey Dave just remind the kid that most of the time the wind blows towards the water in the fall, this way we don't have to pull him outta the drink! :lol: I have seen that boy fly his kite from his back! Can't wait to see you guys!

hiaguy - 17-9-2011 at 07:30 PM

Thanks g00fba11. Lookin' forward to meeting you there.

Same here! I guess we'll see what it's all about! My expectations are high!:smilegrin::thumbup:

shehatesmyhobbies - 17-9-2011 at 08:00 PM

I am thinking both of you will be having the best time ever and will be marking your calendars for the spring bash before you get off the plane for home!

Rich The Kidd is as big as me now and a bit heavier. So when you see him scudding along I'd get out of his way:D We are really excited to be coming and packing our gear already:thumbup:
Oh and if there is water in the pool and he is going to jump in I want video this time:frog:

Plane? It'll be a ten-hour drive of dreaming about NABX! :wee:
(and smiling all he way I'm sure:-)

Which way to the beach?!

shehatesmyhobbies - 18-9-2011 at 10:30 AM

Dave I will have the camera ready!

Hiaguy, if you need directions, let me know, I can get you squared up as long as I know where you are coming from!
It might have been just a line, if not hit me up! I will make sure you get to the beach and you will be ready to hit the sky!:Ange09:

bobalooie57 - 18-9-2011 at 10:34 AM

N side of L. Ontario, if I got it right. Darn, you've quite a drive just to get into NYS! Will be great to meet some new Canadian friends! :cool:

hiaguy - 18-9-2011 at 01:51 PM

shehates:
Thanks for the offer but between google maps and my GPS I'm good. Besides, I think I've already done the drive in my head. It's no line; Whitby is about two hours from Niagara Falls, then it's an eight-hour run SE to the beach.

bobalooie:
You've got it right but I have no doubt that it'll be worth the treck. I've met a few kiters in my own neighbourhood, but they're few and far between.

Off topic (kinda): last February I took off to Vegas specifically to be in the wind (without family) for a couple of days. Had the pleasure of meeting Kent and I learned more in a few hours than in the rest of my kite-life (bought my first framed delta in 1989). Later met up with Kent, Brian and a couple of other local fliers and had a blast (and learned more)! Can't thank them enough. (Only downfall from that trip was the rain on my first day there that kept us away from the playa.)

flyjump - 19-9-2011 at 06:50 AM

TICKETS ARE BOOKED WHOOOP WHOOOOP! Thanks to van and the east coast crew for hooking it up.

Van, Chad, Scott, Danny, Rich....I know you guys pulled all the strings to get me out there, and i'm so happy. Epic riding coming your way!

flyguy0101 - 19-9-2011 at 07:01 AM

Adam,
My goal this year will be to jump over you. You might have to lay down but that will still count right :tumble:
Scott

:wee:

buggydanny - 21-9-2011 at 09:10 PM

hiaguy

There very well may be others from Ont. coming to the bash. Carpooling may be a good option for you, especially since you don't have a lot of gear yet and wont take much room.

I would u2u markite and see if he knows if any of the local are coming to the bash.

markite - 21-9-2011 at 09:33 PM

Going to do a sidetrack post (short one) to hiaguy
You are in Whitby! so close to where all the guys buggy down at the waterfront and over in Ajax - and then all of us from Toronto and westward. I'll shoot you a U2U
- back to Wildwood now.....

chris - 22-9-2011 at 08:07 AM

Looking forward to kiting with everyone in Wildwood again!

shehatesmyhobbies - 22-9-2011 at 08:55 AM

For WW I'm still trying to co-ordiate a fall trip to Scotland - if it doesn't conflict then I might be making the trip with 3 others from this part of Ontario

Kober - 3-10-2011 at 11:01 AM

Kober - 5-10-2011 at 06:43 PM

2 guys from UK that landboard before thinking about getting there on Saturday

doddg - 6-10-2011 at 07:07 AM

I had no idea this was even going on. That's what happens when you are out of something for awhile, but glad to see so many are into this.

Hoping for east wind!

I will be there Thursday PM, looking for a room mate, will be there till Monday, weather depending of course...See you there!

XdisasterXdrewX - 6-10-2011 at 07:15 AM

I was talking to rdavis the other day and he was telling me about it.

Is there a thread about what EXACTLY this is?
basically just a get together?

Hopefully I'll be there in the scpring

martinipro - 6-10-2011 at 03:34 PM

What winds should we be expecting for the bash?

I know winds are usually unpredictable, but from past experiences(From previous years WBBs) what kites are people usually flying? both for Kiteboarding and Buggying.
Also, I saw it looks like tides will not be perfect this year. Should I be looking at getting BF tires for the buggy? I know that will require a Wide front fork and axle as well.

rocfighter - 6-10-2011 at 04:55 PM

Dodd it will be great to see you there. Will you be bringing your blowcart as well?
