What a day.....at the Playa SBBB 04

RMV - 31-3-2004 at 12:42 AM

I would like to share today's experience at the Playa with the ones who were not fortunate enough to make it.

The organizers had everything ready (including beer) and lined up to welcome guests and riders alike, under the big tent.
Thank you for the very warm welcome to my first event and my second innoculation with the buggy virus (the first one was from Corey, just 2 weeks earlier, same place). And yes, I do have the remedy/cure in mind.

I arrived shortly before 3:00 PM to see something really amazing....... a buggy taking flight under a Blade III, I think it was a 6.6.
The rider was demonstrating such ability with ease, it was amazing to see the buggy taking off, being suspended for several seconds in the air, to make what looked so much like a smooth landing, and to go on to be ready for the next take off.
A lot of wind = a lot of riders, all sorts of kites in the sky, bigs and smalls. What a feast for the eyes, so many smiles on faces, so many happy peoples.

Thank you all.
