Does anyone know if kite buggying is allowed at Burning Man? Assuming there is space on the playa.

Try putting some kind of lights on you and your buggy get some sort of costume then you can become a part of the show and not just someone flying a kite.
Don't know if they allow it.

I know a fellow that used an ATB there years ago.

Bri' is right ! Turn it in to art ! You will feel a lot better about it !

I'm heading down with another buddy this year from Canada. I debated shipping a buggy down. Dean is there at the DOTA camp and Chris told me he buggied there a while back.
Travelling by air I can't take everything so I was just making a bunch of single liners for show but would love to buggy if you bring one!

figure out something for night with led's and glowsticks (is there wind at night on the playa?) and you'll rock the place!

I've tied fifty glowsticks (the really small ones that look like a dwarf drinking straw) in order of the spectrum from red to blue along a fifty-foot tail and flown that off my symphony 2.7 in 20 knots of wind, looks fantastic esp when doing the tight loop / corkscrew thing.

takes 15 knots of wind to fly that rig with a full window, but those arcs in your quiver could pull a small bill board in the air, eh?

then there's the buggy...

hmmmm.

if you had the time and energy to make a splash, you could really go for it....

Kite buggy and kite powered vehicles, boards, etc. are NOT allowed at Burning Man.

So, if you do bring your stuff, be super ultra cool.

In fact, if you'll drop by 3:00 and Esplanade, the Department of Tethered Aviation will advise you on the best way to proceed. Ask for Paperboy.

You Are allowed to buggy outside of the city. Exit via the airport, ask for TigerTiger and make sure you get a wrist band and have your ticket with you.

Please, please, please DO NOT BUGGY OR LANDBOARD in the city without speaking to some veterans, we've been working on solving this problem for over ten years and it's complicated as hell(i wish it wasn't).

Much politics are involved, competing interests, and weird random factors involving a piece of wind powered sculpture that got loose and ended up making mayhem with a chain saw reaction. I'm not kidding here.

Okay, that said, do i bring my buggy? Of course, the most amazing place in the world to buggy.

If i do it do i do it super extra slow, and steer wide of everyone? Yes, no freestyle please, no air, no radical action. There are a million eyes watching and they have had some major bad juju cause problems, please do not make US look bad.

Remember, when you fly a kite at Burning Man, you represent us, the kite flyers, and specifically the Department of Tethered Aviation. We want you to fly, we want you to be there, we want you to have fun. Please be respectful, know this is a community, and one that we go to each year, have worked hard to be accepted at and included in.

If you'd like to contact me off channel for more info, please do, i'm at myname at gmail dot com

in dust we trust~!

yeah....

glad to hear it from the source.

I had in mind some kind of fantastically lit up buggy slowly noodling about that wacky crowd (( participants ) whatever )) looking for audiences to entrance, rather than cutting it up large and making folks nervous.

Come by and see us. 3:00 and Esplanade, we'll be there the thursday before opening throughout the week.

aoxo~soon!

<<hey, where's the jealousy thingie?>>





wish i could, y'all have fun out there....
