now there's an event

A sunny, windy, winter Saturday in Vancouver? Now there's an event.
It has been quite a while since since we last got together. Here is some of the action from a much needed day of buggying. I sure hope the lake really is draining.

Is it possible to design for strength, if the designer doesn't really understand what strength is?

This was the first time I have been in the buggy since the fall so it was special.
I think we had about 6 of us riding at the same time at one point.
My fist run past Goose Poo lake was a little interesting as I found out quick that even ribbed Beach Racers still slide in goose poop...came within inches of going for a swim.
I got a good 3 hours of riding in.
Thanks for putting the video up Scudley...it was a great day with 2 meter kites.
