The countdown begins! Couldn't resist!

shehatesmyhobbies - 8-9-2012 at 08:51 PM

Sorry, but I just can't help myself. I get so pumped up as each day passes and brings another WBB closer! I only wish we had some good winds here at home so I can get the cobwebs off some of my gear! Winds were decent today but very unpredictable with massive storm front approaching! I know it will only be a matter of time till we all meet on the sand that we love! can't wait to see everyone there!

Only 46 days till we ride together again my friends! Till then I wish you all good winds to get warmed up! The countdown has begun! (for me anyways):wee::wee:

Flew yesterday morning for all of 30 seconds , 3.9m Viper, 30mph gusting to?, popped the safety after a flop and fold had it going for the center. I considered it a pretty sweet session ,packed it up thinking "boy am I ready for WBB"
See y'all there.

cheezycheese - 10-9-2012 at 05:29 AM

Can't wait to hang with you guys again... Todd I'm bringing you some back-up....

rocfighter - 10-9-2012 at 05:33 AM

No one licks the burgers better than Chef Todd!!

WELDNGOD - 10-9-2012 at 01:06 PM

wish I could be there..... Everything is a no-go this time. No Vacation time on the books,No money saved up, and No dog sitter... Looks like I will be throwin' a "Lone - Kiter " Bash at Va Beach that weekend.

shehatesmyhobbies - 10-9-2012 at 02:19 PM

Donnie, it's just not going to be the same without you bro! Now who is going to set up the close your eyes and you can feel it mood! Sad news for sure!
If I get a chance this fall, I will make the trip down with some of the other guys to ride with you!

rocfighter - 11-9-2012 at 05:21 AM

Rich I would enjoy a trip to VBBB if it is happening. Keep us posted Donnie and Rich.

WELDNGOD - 11-9-2012 at 01:02 PM

It's still too warm down here. Beachgoers are everywhere..... But in a few weeks it will start to die down,and then it's MINE!!!!!!!:wee::wee::wee::wee: And I got alot of catchin' up to do.

Todd - 12-9-2012 at 06:52 AM

I'm not giving up on you yet D just secure a babysitter for Itchy and #@%$#!y because there will be pre-licked burgers all around!

BEC - 13-9-2012 at 01:12 PM

Extremely happy and looking forward to hanging out with everyone on the beach again. It will be great to see some other guys that couldn't make it last season....Cheesy and Todd (can't say I've had a pre-licked burger)

I will miss Donnie if he can't make it. This was my time to finally ask you about bridle adjustments and see if my Rasta Rage could pass you on the beach this year. I guess I will be "OLD" Grasshopper if I can pull off passing Claude or BuggyDanny!

A BIG PRE- THANK YOU to Rich too, for all the work I know you've been putting into this event. Call or text if you need help with anything.

shehatesmyhobbies - 13-9-2012 at 01:23 PM

I think we are down to 41 days now! There is still much to do, paint the trailer, sticker the trailer, put air back in the buggy tires, (that will be done this weekend to prepare for family fun day next weekend). Possibly some new bling for the buggy. Get some more time on the board before I get there so I can keep up with Scott, Adam, and the kid! Get some buggy time so I can keep up with Bruce! HAHA. Adjust the buggy so Bruce can reach the foot rest so he can take the Caddy for a ride! HAHA again!

Of course all the other fun stuff too, see if Claude is still going to D.J during and after the BBQ, Make sure all the permits are completely secured! Should know something on that one soon! Make sure all that need rooms get them, working on a new event Sticker! Etc, etc, etc,...... So much to do, soo little time to do it! But in the end it is all worth it's weight in gold just to ride with all of you each and every time!

martinipro - 13-9-2012 at 01:26 PM

Rich if you need any help from the locals let us know!

shehatesmyhobbies - 13-9-2012 at 01:37 PM

Will do thanks Martin!

I did talk to Joecat yesterday, he said all the work on the beach is done so no danger of any huge trucks running over anyone! Dodd, was there yesterday for a nice early evening run, his picture was awesome! Such a great shot of him hitting WW with an empty beach and an a nice on shore breeze! The hotels and boardwalk all lit up!

snowspider - 13-9-2012 at 08:05 PM

I think I can feel it!:tumble:

Kober - 13-9-2012 at 08:15 PM

ME too ..... I think its time to fix my buggy and buy those lines and handles for Gin Tonkawa kites ....

Todd - 19-9-2012 at 04:55 PM

WE NEED TO GET STOKED FOLKS!!!


These are not the days gone by of the WBB... previous years brought records of views and post of the PKF for WBB! I for one can't wait because it has been a year since I set foot on that beach and you better believe I'm ready for it!!! I'm ready to see all the happy faces that I've missed and sad not to see the ones that can't make it. Is it too soon to post THIS???


BEC - 19-9-2012 at 06:14 PM

Hey, I think I slept with her :thumbup:

shehatesmyhobbies - 19-9-2012 at 07:23 PM

I know I tried to get her number! She has taught me a trick or two! :lol:

shehatesmyhobbies - 26-9-2012 at 09:42 AM

I can barley contain myself with the winds that have been coming through! I am so glad fall is here and the winds have returned. I really hope this makes for a great event at WBB this year! While sitting around talking about what has gone by in the past is fun, but getting out there and getting it done is so much better!

Won't be long now folks, get your gear all lined up and ready to go! WHOOP WHOOP!

cheezycheese - 26-9-2012 at 10:16 AM



I can taste 'em now.... Mmmmmm mmmmmmm

Go to "User Control Panel" (look at top right of the header - just below "logged in as....")
then "edit profile" - and change the number of topics per page to a higher number - 75 or 100 or more and you'll see more without needing to go to a second page

ahh - now I see Rich already gave this tip, beat me to it.

bigben91682 - 9-10-2012 at 08:58 AM

After a long kiting hiatus (about 18 months....new baby) I will be at WBB this year with a new improved homemade zooter in tow. Can wait to be on the beach again...been watching this video a lot (from my last WBB) and getting pumped. See you all on Friday.

Cameron: Please don't say were not going to take the car home. Please don't say were not going to take the car home. Please don't say were not going to take the car home.
Ferris: [to the camera] If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away?

Ferris: Neither would I.

Konrad make sure you bring some more polish goodies... Beer, sausage, mustard... What else did you have... Chocolate I think :singing:

rocfighter - 13-10-2012 at 04:53 AM

What is it those Canadians yell as they blow by at sonic speeds? It is great to see them ride. Most show no limit to there skill levels :wee: . Or there celebration levels!!:lol::lol:

aronma - 13-10-2012 at 07:50 AM

Cant wait to hit the beach :bouncing:

Tell me the' singing webbing' isn't going to be slung again..

skimtwashington - 13-10-2012 at 06:56 PM

...the sound is disturbing.Who brought that last time anyway?

rocfighter - 14-10-2012 at 05:00 AM

Brian if I had one I would bring it just for you:lol::lol::lol:
That would be Crashthenswim that brought it in the spring. He is planning to be there again so it may be as well. :puzzled:
What I found helped with the noise of it was to put on my helmet and ride away!!!:wee:

cheezycheese - 14-10-2012 at 06:07 AM

I wouldn't mind checking that thing out... Probably in the minority on that though... :dunno:

you don't Cheezy

skimtwashington - 14-10-2012 at 06:32 AM

It will put a tone deafness in your jazz ear...:mad:

I love the sound of power washers and jack hammers. AND I LOVE THE FLYING RIBBON THINGY TOO!!!:moon::bouncing:

shehatesmyhobbies - 17-10-2012 at 04:22 PM

Do I need to remind anyone that this time next week, I will be recovering from my first day on the beach at WBB Fall 2012!

P.S. I also thought the singing ribbon was cool! You could hear that thing for blocks! Maybe if it's up for an hour or so it won't be so bad!

bigben91682 - 19-10-2012 at 05:27 AM

10 day forecast looks good, who knows for wind but I don't see any rain...that's a good start!

rocfighter - 19-10-2012 at 05:44 AM

One week from today I will be eating breakfast for the SECOND time in Wildwood.:singing: WOO HOO :wee:

What a great couple weeks. Driving 400 miles this weekend to see some of the kids. And doing more next week to see more family. :D:wee::singing:

Yeah, temps look nice too... 60-70degrees :thumbup:

Todd - 19-10-2012 at 06:18 AM

Warm temps... come on SE baby!!!

buggydanny - 19-10-2012 at 06:19 AM

I hate to say this, but long range forecasts are horribly inaccurate and I would definitely expect it to change. Personally I don't care what the temps are, as long as we have some good winds.

Eagerly watch the days go by. Less than a week to go, should be there either Wednesday night or early Thursday.

Kober - 19-10-2012 at 06:43 PM

Time to start packing ....
I be there Thursday afternoon ....

Load the car and point it to Shalimar!

skimtwashington - 19-10-2012 at 08:59 PM

The Final Countdown!




To Rock away on beach!




And Fly My kite!




then kick back at night.

Are we having Kite Raffle again?

skimtwashington - 20-10-2012 at 08:23 PM

Someone won a buggy one year, I think. :wow:

Who was that generous donator?:thumbup:


Tick tick tick...final countdown

shehatesmyhobbies - 20-10-2012 at 09:07 PM

There will be some sort of raffle, but mostly of just donated items. In the spring we may do a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. That should bring out some nice stuff. Time will tell!

I'm all in for the American Cancer Society....Can't wait to see you Rich and we can talk about this more...Could be a really GREAT fundraiser and showcase our sport. Also gets the PKF family closer when working together for a wonderful cause like this.

See you in Days! :singing::singing::singing::singing: :wee:

shehatesmyhobbies - 23-10-2012 at 04:19 PM

Well, my countdown is almost over. T-minus 12 hours and I will be on the road. Only a three hour ride so I should be there around 11-30, 12
