New Guy here! Just put my registration in to join you all on the Playa. I must say I am stoked to say the least. I feel like I have been looking
forward to heading to this event since I first heard of it a couple years ago. I am a buggy guy and I have been learning on my own since i bought my
first kite a couple of years ago. So, I am looking forward to meeting lots of like-minded people...learning a bunch...and playing together. I am
sure I will have lots of questions before, during and after the event. I am SO looking forward to this!!BeamerBob - 2-3-2012 at 05:14 PM
You will learn SO much. It is a learning experience just to ride with others. Add to that riding at Ivanpah and school is in session. Way more fun
than 4th grade though. You will have a blast and enjoy the company of the nicest most friendly and helpful bunch you'll ever meet. Some of your most
fun times will be when the wind isn't blowing. Find a crew sitting around in a circle under some shade and just dive in.Timeflyz - 2-3-2012 at 05:22 PM
Thanks Bob. Hey, I am in need of a set of 4-ply slicks and quite possibly a small kite add to the quiver. I was thinking maybe a 1.8 Rage. I am
used to grass, so the hard and fast lake bed is gonna have a bit of a learning curve. Share your thoughts please.markite - 2-3-2012 at 05:34 PM
looking forward to meeting some new faces and especially when the new guys buy the first round at the hanging tree bar!
Welcome - you're going to have a lot of fun at the 2012 family reunion.BeamerBob - 2-3-2012 at 05:41 PM
Flyz, there is no retail commerce at the event but you could prearrange the purchase of tires and your kite ahead of time and pick it up there. I
know Kent at A wind of Change can help you and probably Corey at Wind Power Sports also here in Vegas as well. It also is a great idea to support the
company sponsors of the event and keep the money flowing round and round in the sport. Other event sponsoring dealers that aren't in Vegas travel to
the event and would also appreciate your business and could also meet you on the playa to get your previously arranged purchases.Timeflyz - 2-3-2012 at 05:50 PM

Thanks! The hanging tree is right in the center of the casino in Buffalo Bills. Can't miss it. Bar surrounds it.pyro22487 - 3-3-2012 at 02:13 AM
First timer here as well. Man have been stoked as mike well knows. LOL. Anyways can't wait 25 more days.deanaoxo - 3-3-2012 at 03:14 PM
It is my sincere hope that there will be almost no time to visit the hanging tree this year.
If all goes as planed, you will only have tuesday night to go there, because there will be way to much fun out on the lakebed to miss!
YMMV!
Aoxo~soon~!~Timeflyz - 3-3-2012 at 09:32 PM
Hello Dean,
It is my intention to have the "full" Playa experience. I plan on taking in all that the event has to offer. I pretty much plan on living out there
the entire week. I believe there is definitely "something" to the entire thing that cannot quite be explained....except in: AoxoMoxoATimeflyz - 3-3-2012 at 09:36 PM
Pyro.....We are all counting it down!....Gonna be a Blast!
