***VIDEO*** Long Beach Buggy Crew rides again!

Sorry it took so long to get this vid done Cheezy- hopefully it was worth the wait. Footage is all from our most recent trip to Long Beach this past Saturday. Turned out to be one of the best days ever- rode for about 4hrs and watched the sunset while still on the buggy! :wee:

Kober had his maiden voyage here on Long Island... LB regulars Martinipro and Kristen brought Aaron along, and Rob from Best Kite Center here on the Island came out for the fun. Cheezy, we missed you- looking forward to having you out next time :spin:

Can't wait to do it again soon. Enjoy the vid!

That's a great vid Mike congrats. Looks like a really fun day. Still trying to make the next one.

That's my flow in the lower right corner during the credits isn't it... My poor flow... :sniff:

MikeDobbs - 5-2-2012 at 02:04 PM

Looking forward to it Statistic!

Yeah Aaron- poor flow. I love that kite, rode mine all day last time we were out. Next time you lend a kite to a noob you should keep them closer to you (or at least farther from power lines) :smilegrin:

Good stuff! Very fun video.

cheezycheese - 5-2-2012 at 06:16 PM

Power lines...???!! What happened...? :eekdrull:

cheezycheese - 5-2-2012 at 06:24 PM

Oh yeah, Thanks.... I Needed that !!! :bouncy:

MikeDobbs - 5-2-2012 at 06:56 PM

Well nothing really- new guy borrowing a kite got in a little over his head. Ended up wrapping the kite around some power/phone lines on the boardwalk. :shocked2:

Kober saved the day by lassoing it with a harness on the end of some line and pulling it down to earth. You can enjoy the festivities at high speed in the credits of the video.


Thanks for the props Todd :tumble:

Nice one Mike! Is there a better way to spend an afternoon?.... I think not.

rocfighter - 6-2-2012 at 04:54 AM

Man do I want to make it down there soon. Mike are you planning to go to Saratoga on the 18-19th? It would be cool to meet you.
Oh yeah great video and fun music Mike. Looks like a great place to play.

Thanks! The track is called "Henrietta" by The Fratellis. It's off the album Costello Music which I strongly recommend. Fantastic album- every track is excellent! You can get it on iTunes

Hahah, yeah that's okay though, I loan my flow out all the time, people crash it all the time. I've crashed it many times myself also. Its seen better days, that's the reason why I wasn't too concerned with him breaking it. I did warn him about the power lines, also told him to just let go if it pulls him away, but guess he ignored me or forgot or something. Oh well, i'm not too bothered by it, all it needs is a fresh set of lines and its good to go again, and the only reason why i'm not using the current lines is because they're tangled beyond the point that I care enough to untangle them.

What did kinda bother me though was that he offered to pay me for new lines, said he was going to the ATM, then ditched me. :mad: If he was going to ditch me anyway I don't know why he would offer to pay in the first place, I wasn't going to ask him for anything anyway...

Oh well I had a blast with my unity all day anyway :wee:
