Missing our beloved JIBE.. A few of us East Coasters have a spur of the moment ride on hitch for tomorrow.
Not sure if this is the proper place for sharing, but most involved with JIBE should surely be interested.
Round table discussion brought up the subject tonight ...and we felt some sort of tag or acknowledgment be made.
So we throw out this concept...
E.B.B. Eastern Buggy Bash 2020
A month long virtual submission buggy bash from any Gulf or East Coast submission. Buggies,Blokarts...Landboards..
Let's see you ride in this craziness.
When permitted and abiding by all local laws and mandates of course.
As said, this is all spur of the moment. Details can be hashed out as we go along about how and where submissions be submitted.
But I did fire up a gmail and boobtube account for such purposes...
Easternbuggybash@gmail.com

Our first submission should be tomorrow at some point.
Ride on....

Randy and I had our Atlanta area White Oak Buggy Bash last week... he lovingly referred to it is Carona WOBB held at White Oak Park in Dallas Georgia... we had a good time and Randy got some Vids... I'll let him share that... Great idea!

Does the Atlanta area count as "East Coast"? I'll see about putting up something from prior JIBEs. Tried to upload to that page but it seems like it put it on my page.

"Eastern" .... Atlanta fits in that just fine.
Doesn't need to be beach. Wherever and whatever you ride and makes you smile.
This whole pandemic , I have been eyeballing a large closed mall.
Just begging for a NPW and some short lines.
Philip and his daughter , Myself and Rebecca rode in Anastasia today. When Jekyll Island and life don't mesh....that's the goto for us.
We had ok wind and got a few hours of riding in as the tide did its thing. It was an awesome day! First time I have riden in many months....besides one small session not long ago on the new2me bug..and it was well needed.
I myself only got a few short clips of video
Philip had a gopro on for a bit...so we should see a little bit from him.
We have onshore decent wind later this week and I have plans on a return trip, possibly with another kiter.
He will be submitting also.....as he makes a run to the Outer Banks with possible various locations.
There has been a fb page created under the same name also..... so if anyone wants to share there ....feel free.
If anyone wants there footage uploaded to the youtube channel, I will have to figure the logistics of how that will work. But have no issues with it at all.
Good luck! Go ride and let's see it :)
Be safe..

Nice video and looks like a great location. I've got to go to Anastasia sometime.
