Hey Scott!!! Welcome back!!! I m not around as often myself but still a JIBE attendee for sure!!! Word on the street last I heard was that BeamerBob will be back at JIBE this year too!

mougl - 5-1-2018 at 04:59 PM

I heard that too, should be awesome! I'm trying to rework the quiver and buggy before the event or there's no way I'll be able to keep up with BB lol!!

soliver - 5-1-2018 at 05:08 PM

Looking forward to it!!

Randy - 5-1-2018 at 05:49 PM

Fiona and I are planning to be back this year as well - haven't booked our usual place to stay yet but i had better get onto it soon. Just waiting for Fiona to book her flights first. We usually arrive sunday and depart the following sunday.

I think I might give it a go this year.

flyguy0101 - 16-1-2018 at 12:33 PM

With heavy hearts, we will have to pass on JIBE this year. A new job opportunity has opened up for me, and I have to jump on it...
Someone please dedicate one tower run for me.. see you guys @ JIBE 2019:(

Randy - 30-1-2018 at 05:02 PM

Congrats on the new job! Sorry we will miss you this year,

Your first time was my first time as well. That was great fun! I haven't missed a year back since. You should definitely make it back soon. It's been just as awesome every year since!

I am glad to hear a few others are making their return this year. Mark, I can't wait to try the pier run again, winds allowing.

See you all there!!!

pokitetrash - 10-2-2018 at 05:48 PM

Wouldn't miss it! Haven't missed one yet!

Michael Gaylan - 9-3-2018 at 07:05 PM

here .. I mean there!

D Cheek - 10-3-2018 at 09:29 AM

Looking forward to JIBE 11 this year. The most fun you can have on 3 wheels.
Hope the wind is as good as it was last year. In the process of gathering up all the kites that I've stashed in all my cars and jeep for that whenever the breezes are there moment. Always ready to fly a kite no matter the size or wind.

pbc - 10-3-2018 at 11:46 AM

I don't have a lot of time for JIBE this year but I expect I can make it for two days. Fingers crossed!

pokitetrash - 17-3-2018 at 05:26 AM

I'll be there with some fam! Mon -Fri with a shiny new (to me) BloKart! Sold my other 2 a few years ago, jonesed and spent $$$ I don't have but that's what we do in this hobby...

Randy - 17-3-2018 at 05:38 AM

Where do you ride these days pokitetrash?

BeamerBob - 28-3-2018 at 06:27 AM

Vacation approved! Wife approved! Campsite reserved! It's starting to get real now. I've missed Jekyll Island and the people since moving west. It's been a top priority to get back since we moved west. 5 full days too. Can't wait to see the veterans and those I call friends I've never met. To the beach!

markite - 28-3-2018 at 11:20 AM

Great news Bobby, can't wait to get some good riding in, been almost two years since any real buggy time. I better get my NAPKA up to date!
Too bad Jason & Amanda and Scott and Devon can't make it this year. Fiona and I have booked into a different place, a house in an area where others have booked. The place where Jason and I had stayed other years was good. It was fully booked by the time I was trying to confirm this year so missed it and we got the house instead. In the last week i've been talking with Jim Everding for Jim and Tami to come down and share the house with us and so far they are planning to come down (you will remember meeting him at NABX - his last year was the infamous gear theft year). We'll arrive sunday and be there through the week until following sunday morning. The unit that Jason had booked might be available if you want info to explore that option I can send it to you

Needing some ideas for JIBE 11 T-Shirts this year.

Now that JIBE is going into it's second decade we need something cool to start it off right!

The shirts,
How about Tie Dye shirts this year with a cool design?
The new light weight "performance shirts" wicking shirts are awesome.
The raglan sleeve baseball shirts, white body with color sleeves are popular also.
Black shirts with silver print, the outlaw look, are always cool.

Same number of locations, front, back, sleeve
and the OBE shirt tail are planned.
Sizes kids through 6xl adults.

The design,
Well......... use those large melons on your shoulders and come up with a good idea.
Whoever has the idea that I print will get a free shirt and sticker pack! Co-labs will get 2 shirts and stickers.

Can't have a great JIBE without a great souvenir shirt of the event.

BeamerBob - 28-3-2018 at 05:32 PM

Yes on performance fabric!

pbc - 28-3-2018 at 06:47 PM

Another yes for performance shirts!

Demoknight - 29-3-2018 at 07:07 AM

How about putting a buggier flying an arc on there? I think nearly all of us have flown an air mattress up and down that beach more than once.

D Cheek - 31-3-2018 at 12:44 AM

Thanks for the most excellent idea. Have you got a picture of you flying an Arc?
It would help to get the juices flowing.
Anyone else have an idea out there in imagination land?
No idea is a bad one. Hit me with them.
Free t-shirt on the line here.:D

3shot - 31-3-2018 at 06:24 AM

Really starting to sink in that we aren't gonna be there this JIBE...
Miss my kite family.:(

mougl - 31-3-2018 at 07:59 AM

I second the idea of a buggy with an arc....with the phantom I graphic :evil::evil::evil:


perhaps a skull and crossbones on the left chest with the phanny graphic being the skull and a couple of atbs at the crossbones?

D Cheek - 1-4-2018 at 01:32 AM

Kite buggy pirates with skulls and crossbones, hummmmm. Has anyone got a good Phantom picture?
Might be fun to do a fantasy tee this year. "The Kite Buggy Pirates Of Jekyll Island".
Sounds like a movie title. Is Johnny Depp a power kiter?

mougl - 1-4-2018 at 10:50 AM

Nay, I don't be believin he be a buggy pirate. Only the chosen few be allowed to sail under that flag!

U2U sent...

JIBE - Jekyll Island Buccaneer Escape?

mougl - 1-4-2018 at 06:58 PM

Actually....perhaps kite bars as the cross bones?

Phanny skull, bar xbones left chest then on the back, JIBE 2018 across the top, beneath that a buggy hauling a$$ down the beach flying an arc with the skull and xbones flag attached to the back of the buggy

Jekyll once or twice a year and sometimes Fernandina or St Augustine. Don't have a field anymore. :mad:

mougl - 30-4-2018 at 04:03 PM

What happened to oobe field??
