2012 WBB Role Call!

Pages: 1 2

shehatesmyhobbies - 6-3-2012 at 05:55 PM

With all the talk about NABX, Jibe, a Spring SOBB, I couldn't help but think how close WBB is coming around again! I know several people are making reservations, and more will be doing so soon!

I am looking forward to another great event. I know we have some more good stuff in the works!

Some of the guys from Skydog will be there doing kite demos and buggy lessons.

Mike will surely be there with some great Prism kites!

Chris and the gang from HQ will be there like always with some great demos and fun times!

PL Team rider Todd will be there getting his D'arc side on and helping with de power twin skins!

PKD Team rider Donnie will be there doing fixed bridle buggy hints and help!

Of course the dead ringer is the Saturday night BBQ with D.J. entertainment!

I am sure there will be plenty more exciting things to come!
So lets get a role call going to see who is joining in on the fun!

I will be there Tues night or Wed morning! See you on the beach!

WELDNGOD - 6-3-2012 at 07:01 PM

Looking forward to seeing y'all.
Howard

ragden - 8-3-2012 at 05:58 AM

As mentioned previously, I'll reserved a room Friday - Sunday. I might try to swing by sooner if I can make it work. Cannot promise anything though. Was just talking with Sunnie about bringing some more Bulgogi again this year. Did you guys want us to do that? Spicy sauce like last time? Just let us know.

Todd - 8-3-2012 at 06:41 AM

Not looking too promising right now due to some setbacks however the bash will be in good hands with Rich at the helm.

Hope you can make it bud.

buggydanny - 8-3-2012 at 06:26 PM

I will be there and I'm looking forward to it. It looks like Thursday-Sunday for me.

I hope you can make it Todd, the barbeque just would not be that same without you.

Donnie sounds like it could be something made by PKD.

If it is I can hardly wait and I hope we get some great winds to see what they can do.

rocfighter - 8-3-2012 at 06:57 PM

I plan to be there Thursday thru Monday. I am hoping TheKidd will be there too. But with all the time we took him out of school this year already it may be tricky. Sandy is taking this one off and staying home with the animals.

snowspider - 8-3-2012 at 07:19 PM

Thurs thru Sun. Good deal on the tides!

aronma - 10-3-2012 at 07:50 AM

I'll be there Sat and Sunday...(Friday too if I can

BEC - 10-3-2012 at 12:41 PM

Can't wait to buggy, fly kites, and hang out on that beach!....Thursday through Sun with a new room mate that I met last year...That's what it's all about.

Todd I hope things turn around and you'll be there. Have a great weekend everyone.

Crash then swim - 10-3-2012 at 08:46 PM

Me and the boy will be there. BORN KITES in hand if there are any sizes or specific models any of you want to see, demo or buy let me know soon. Our WWBB order goes to the manufacturer next weekend.:wee:

joecat - 11-3-2012 at 06:43 PM

Of course I will be there with the kids in the club. I think Im getting back from Italy that Thursday and I will be on the beach Friday at the latest! There are some City Officials who are interested in joining us, I think they want to help us make this event bigger. Which could mean city promoting and such.......

WELDNGOD - 12-3-2012 at 06:48 AM

Oh snap!:D:cool2:

BEC - 12-3-2012 at 03:52 PM

Tridude... Let me know if you are serious about the Genesee Creme ale, as I live 20 minutes from the High Falls Brewing Co and can certainly bring you some.
You will have a blast too with all the great people there and perfect setting for kites and buggies.

u2u sent also:singing:

shehatesmyhobbies - 12-3-2012 at 06:08 PM

a sixer or twelve woulkd be plenty (need to go easy on my kidneys).................was introduced to Genie on my first trip to Watertown, NY back in the 80s.........good stuff :lol:

BEC - 13-3-2012 at 01:09 PM

Tridude
Consider it done! If you are trying to take it easy on the kidneys....I don't think Genny Cream Ale is going to help..hahaha That stuff might make you pee green.

shehatesmyhobbies - 13-3-2012 at 01:25 PM

I'll chip in Bruce!

doublespeed360 - 13-3-2012 at 05:00 PM

I hope that's not a bad thing..... i.e. more tourons on beach.

rocfighter - 14-3-2012 at 05:15 AM

Tourons= Hey kids look at this nice smooth part of the beach with all the tire tracks on it. Lets build a sand castle right here. :moon:

Todd - 14-3-2012 at 05:12 PM

No no no!!! Better yet :eureka: lets dig a 3 foot trench... yeah that'll show'm

shehatesmyhobbies - 14-3-2012 at 05:44 PM

I so remember that guy! No matter what, we could not convince him we were there for the good of the people!

Looking_Up - 14-3-2012 at 10:52 PM

rocfighter - 16-3-2012 at 04:28 PM

OK Skydog Kites has a team room reserved and we all (as in three of us) Dodd Gross, Jim "the big dog" Christianson, and Myself will be there. I think The Kidd will be there as well as Dodd's wife. What a group!!

cheezycheese - 16-3-2012 at 05:27 PM

looks like I might miss this one guys... I will be in the hospital for surgery the week before... :no:

lad - 16-3-2012 at 05:37 PM

Born Kites...w/ the "depowerable" NASAwings?

rocfighter - 16-3-2012 at 05:57 PM

Mark say it aint so:o

I thought you would have been well on your way to recovery by then. And you could come hang out at least. Sorry to hear this Bro. Best of luck with it. Keep us posted:bigok:

cheezycheese - 16-3-2012 at 05:59 PM

yeah, well i got a two week run of anti-biotics first, then surgery. so that puts me in the hospital just before WW.... :thumbdown:

shehatesmyhobbies - 16-3-2012 at 07:21 PM

Cheezy it will not be the same without you! Keep us posted!

lad - 16-3-2012 at 08:01 PM

Cheezy,
Come on down anyway...in an ambulance if you need to...we'll just hook the stretcher up tandem-style!

Kober - 16-3-2012 at 09:13 PM

Mark ...... Make sure you all good ASAP and we go to local spot for some recovery buggy action ......

.... Get well

cheezycheese - 17-3-2012 at 04:36 AM

We need a live feed. Like a buggy web-cam, so I can join in on the fun... : :thumbup:

I do like the tandem stretcher idea though.... :evil:

MikeDobbs - 17-3-2012 at 09:06 AM

Sorry to hear you won't be there Cheeezy- we'll miss you man.

On a happy note- my wife and I are officially in- booked a room at Shalimar this week! :bigok:
(now just have to work out some sort of tandem hookup for the buggy)

shehatesmyhobbies - 17-3-2012 at 09:20 AM

Looking forward to meeting you Mike!

cheezycheese - 17-3-2012 at 09:33 AM

Hahaah... Yeah Cheezy that's def my goal. She's not comfortable flying in high winds yet though... so if we get a lazy seabreeze she'll be rolling, otherwise we may have to tandem it :wee:

Thanks Shehatesmyhobbies- me too.

martinipro - 17-3-2012 at 12:26 PM

That's awesome mike!,
Mark sorry to hear that! Get better soon for a session in LB!

snowspider - 17-3-2012 at 09:35 PM

Cheezy that sucks , we will be missing some of the nicest bling on the beach. Good luck with the guts.

bugymangp - 19-3-2012 at 09:26 AM

Me and the wife will be there from wed night to Sunday
Can't wait booked hotel today

bugymangp - 19-3-2012 at 09:55 AM

hey mark
come down anyway. it won`t be the same without you.
hope it works out for you.
if you want a place to crash just ask.
maybe come down for the weekend.

ragden - 19-3-2012 at 09:57 AM

Looking forward to seeing all the new faces, and of course, the old. I cannot wait to see everyone, and sit down in a buggy again. It has been too long.

Mark, sorry to hear you will not be there man. We will definitely miss you. I'll have to make an extra couple pieces of bulgogi and set them out for you, as a rememberance.

(I almost typed a plate, but I dont think it would last long enough to find an "honorary spot". Hell, I doubt even a few pieces will remain long enough to get anywhere I could place it... It was a nice thought though...)

cheezycheese - 19-3-2012 at 10:28 AM

God, Mike.. I hadn't thought about missing out on the Bulgogi... :no:

this just got worse :no:

ragden - 19-3-2012 at 10:52 AM

Did you want the recipe?
Ask Kelly, it isn't exactly HARD to make...

WELDNGOD - 19-3-2012 at 05:32 PM

easy peasy cheesy ! LOL

rocfighter - 20-3-2012 at 03:55 AM

Cheezy your still gonna be on JELLO by then. You eat this stuff and your a$$ will be on fire:evil: :crazy:

I hope you get back to the dinner plate really fast man.:D

cheezycheese - 20-3-2012 at 05:13 AM

:evil:

Todd - 20-3-2012 at 02:27 PM

Last spring I attended fresh out of the hospital sporting 50+ staples and STILL rode... No excuses Thelma :smilegrin:

hiaguy - 20-3-2012 at 02:35 PM

Yup, not gonna be the same with out Mark.

Is the timing lookin' any better for you Todd?

Todd - 20-3-2012 at 07:28 PM

No not at all but still hopefull. Just got the news today that I am pre-approved for hire with a company I've dreamed of for the past few months. The stars and the moon would have to be Just right but thanks for asking.

hiaguy - 20-3-2012 at 08:08 PM

Employment with a company that you want to work for is important. Maybe you can teach the boss to buggy? :wee:

shehatesmyhobbies - 26-3-2012 at 05:03 AM

Started going through some things last night to make sure all is good to go! Won't be long now!

WELDNGOD - 26-3-2012 at 06:52 AM

everybody start praying to the wind gods now
and nobody say that four letter R word. you know? that water that falls from the sky
will be bringing a NEW RC landsailer i just finished building over the winter

shehatesmyhobbies - 30-3-2012 at 02:26 PM

I was sorting my PL bar and linesets last weekend, I know my tires will hold air for at least the day! I so need to get myself some new rims! :lol:

I am tidying up some last minute stuff for the bash, getting all the ducks in a row! Sure to be as much fun as usual and yes I am also praying to the wind gods! See you guys soon!

If anyone needs anything, let me know I will see if I can round it up before we head out! Planning on being there Tues. Night!

ragden - 30-3-2012 at 02:42 PM

All my gear has BEEN ready to go. Just sitting waiting.

rocfighter - 30-3-2012 at 03:22 PM

Most of our stuff is packed in the trailer ready to go. Thule is full as well. With the new trailer I need a new way to haul the buggy. So I was thinking of taking off the thule and making a roof rack for the buggy.

hiaguy - 30-3-2012 at 04:56 PM

rocfighter - 30-3-2012 at 05:04 PM

Hiaguy your not using it in the living room to watch TV? I watched 3 movies in mine before Sandy asked me to move it out!!

Kober - 30-3-2012 at 05:12 PM

Any ideas for no wind activities this year ????? besides beer and burgers ???

... Anyone have cool toys to show off with ??

Did anyone build sand board for kiting ???

hiaguy - 30-3-2012 at 05:18 PM

Too funny rocfighter... she came home and I was sitting in it. I can't say that she's thrilled, but it was too late to put it back in the box :wink2:
I may have to check in on it overnight just to make sure it's OK. It's gotten too cold to sit out there right now.

Kober: We could all take turns trying to set new records with Weldngods' Powerball.

WELDNGOD - 30-3-2012 at 06:15 PM

"If you close your eyes" LOL

I got 1 buggy in the kitchen, and 1 in the dining room.(no garage) The missus is not too thrilled about it either

snowspider - 30-3-2012 at 06:33 PM

I'm bringing my slack line , Chris from HQ has one. Flyguy Scott should bring one. Parallel slacklines, I can see the possibilities , balance racing , chicken fights , slackline ballet. If you guys need sand anchors let me know I'll make some.
Unicycle and improved skateboard buggy (aka #@%$#!roach) will also be there.

shehatesmyhobbies - 30-3-2012 at 07:04 PM

Slack lines sound fun! I will give it a try this time. I will conquer that unicycle this time around!

Donnie, that was definitely the funniest thing I heard at the whole bash!

rocfighter - 1-4-2012 at 06:23 AM

Pat the #@%$#!roach was awesome on the ice. Lets see what it does with wheels. I want to see your little guy walk on his hands all the way across the slack line.

snowspider - 1-4-2012 at 11:12 AM

Hand stands on parallel bars doable. Hand stands on parallel slacklines? I don't think so.

joecat - 3-4-2012 at 11:00 AM

North Wildwood Beach Sunday. Myself and two club kids. How do I embed the video box right onto the page here?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEr6q7mhi30

snowspider - 3-4-2012 at 11:53 AM

No helmet, spike in your back pocket , Joe you just earned yourself a front row seat at the safety meeting!

shehatesmyhobbies - 3-4-2012 at 12:49 PM

Great to see the kids on the buggy! Great progress!

:lol:

for Patricks comment!

joecat - 3-4-2012 at 08:06 PM

Busted! That was because I only had one helmet down there with me....of course I had 7 more in the trailer.....so I had to let her wear it.....yes i know......front row..........so, does anyone know how to embed the video into the forum page here...?

Todd - 3-4-2012 at 08:40 PM

Sweet avitar LBJ where did you get that?

buggydanny - 3-4-2012 at 09:23 PM

Heard from Claude today. He will be at the bash along with with Stephane and Renée. A larger group of Canadians will be attending the fall bash.

Glad to hear some of them can make it. Bummer they all will not be there. Certainly a fun crowd on Saturday night.

Kober - 4-4-2012 at 08:46 AM

Less then 2 weeks .... I need to go thru my contracts and get some payments from clients ....... Totally forgot that I need room reservation ......

Oh I dig it you know I do. In your original post with the video check out the series of numbers/letters after the = symbol. Copy. Hit reply message and you will find a little symbol of a TV. Click and paste. If you can't figure it out call me.

Cool video with the kids... Get a helmet on :smilegrin:

Heading South

PBandJ - 5-4-2012 at 03:41 PM

I will be heading back from VT to NC and plan to stop for a day or two.
Is there somewhere I can hang my hammock that doesn't cost $30 bucks a night. I am not a fan of paying for camping, but $30 for tent camping is a little ridiculous.
Thanks,
James

ragden - 6-4-2012 at 04:30 AM

I thought the Beachcomber campground was cheaper than that... But those prices do sound about right... Camping in Lewes is even more, if I recall rightly...

rocfighter - 6-4-2012 at 06:07 AM

CT state park camping is more than that too. And no power or water on sites. Just basic camping.

shehatesmyhobbies - 7-4-2012 at 06:52 AM

T - minus 10 days and I will be running up and down the awesome beaches if WW!
Cant wait to get get there!

shehatesmyhobbies - 10-4-2012 at 05:10 AM

hiaguy - 10-4-2012 at 05:34 AM

bugymangp - 10-4-2012 at 09:48 AM

ragden - 10-4-2012 at 10:01 AM

I managed to get Friday off. Depending on winds, I'll either be there Thursday night, or Friday around midday. Can't wait.

flyguy0101 - 10-4-2012 at 10:38 AM

Andrew and I are planning a predawn launch to arrive ready to fly thursday around 12 assuming winds are looking good. Cantwait to see you guys and have some tight lines and big airs

shehatesmyhobbies - 10-4-2012 at 12:14 PM
