i wanted to bring my own grill, a little webber. not much bigger than a basketball. think that would be cool....?

And again with the unable to access the last page, this is starting to get more common and more annoying...

Man I can't wait for Wildwood. My first run in a buggy, lots of kites to try, new people to "listen" to all my boring stories ;-)

Within the hour I'm out of here! See you all at the beach!! (keep your distance... still a little under the weather)

BTW - up the WW Boardwalk, past the first pier or so, is an open diner called "Snow White." It's not quite as greasy as you'd imagine!



If they're still open, (they were a week ago or so) they have a Breakfast Special: 2 eggs, hash brown and english muffin...for 99 cents!

Can't beat that with a 50m Synergy Stik! ;-)

(there is also a reasonable breakfast / lunch pizza place near the far south end of the boardwalk, just before Wildwood Crest - same breakfast special, just a buck or two more!).

+2 people for friday, was gonna go sat but looks like rain and might not get there til 6pm friday at the latest, hopefully 5pm....where will be at the north or south end?

They were talking about flying in front of Apollo hotel! last I heard! That post was on page 4

We will either be flying in front of the Apollo or the Pier... I'll post tonight and let you know, or tomorrow morning...

Camper is almost loaded. Buggy is now even more customized. Packing my clothes now. I will be there in 24 hrs! :singing:

We will be setting up right out on the beach from the Apollo. There is parking along Atlantic Avenue, and lots of it. If you are staying at the Apollo, you can just park your car there. If you are bunking with someone, you can also get a parking permit, just talk to the guy in the office. I will be getting up early (ish) to get breakfast, then I'll be down on the beach setting up the tent. Hope to see you all there...

Dudes!

I'll be down on Sat & Sun. Lynz can't make it due to work, so I'm flying solo and can't help out with the M:F ratio this time. She's super bummed that she can't be there.

I'll have an extra buggy to share and I just sorted out a tow bar for tandems today; many thanks to Jon Ellis!

Can't wait. Counting the hours.

I'll be looking to go in with somebody on a room at Apollo.

Aoxomoxoa for sure. j

Friday was perfect in concept - strong onshore winds at low tide. But itwas like getting sandblasted - my eyes and nose were getting the worst of it. I had no small kites that could behave themselves in the 25-30? mph gusts.

Sat. should be more reasonable, if the rain stays away, and Sun. looks evern better.

WOW, Great time today. I'm hooked! Wind REALLY picked up this afternoon. Still finding sand in all the creavases. Nothing I had was small enough to fly. Thanks Don (the 2m Beamer was the ticket), Glen, Todd, and everyone else. Enjoy the rest of the Bash!
Well I missed and lost alot of good video, but made a short movie with what I had.....

on my way guys.... see you all around 10ish. can't wait :wee::wee::wee:

Setting up on south beach in front the Apollo again. Winds don't look great, but we will be there having fun. See ya there!!

What a great day today! My arms are like spaghetti. I was going to do a bonfire tonight but it looks like everyone is just too exhausted! See everyone in the morning!

i forgot my snowboard at the beach, if anyone sees it/wants it feel free to take it.

It's on todd's truck. Feel free to come by and pick it up.

Wildwood at breakfast:

Got home at 6 p.m. The camper is unloaded it is now 7 p.m.. I am ready for bed and also thinking of all that went on the last two days. I am very glad to have met you all, a special thanks to Todd for being the "host with the most". I am glad the wind was for the most part great! I can not wait till the next gathering!!!!!

Till then "May the wind be with You!"

My photos from Saturday / Sunday: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rybarnes/sets/72157622392398799...

I didn't take many, nor any good ones, but I thought I'd share them.

It was nice meeting you all! (For those of you I didn't meet, I was the one on the 16m PL Scropion on the landboard.)

Can't wait for some more fall winds!...that is if I can break away from school any more...

Here is my first video of the 'dog pacS-P-A-M-L-I-N-K- running down the beach..

Thanks to everyone that helped out to put on a great Buggy Bash! We had a GREAT time!!

Now if I can find a way to get rid of all this sand in my gear :singing:

What a GREAT weekend! Got to meet many new faces and meet up with some old ones as well. Had some of my best runs in the buggy yet and broke my top speed record at 37.9. So much fun riding next to all you guys, some really great riders out there. Can't wait til the next time we can meet up!

An Absolute blast! Really glad so many people could make it down. Thanks to everyone who was able to make the trek. Glad to have met you, and ridden with you. Lots of awesome highlights and tons of pictures and stories to tell.

I got home around 1900hrs last night and was so tired I could barely do anything. Woke up this morning unable to actually sit up. I had to roll over and fall off the bed to get going. I think this week is going to be rough trying to get moving again. The wife tooks lots of pictures which I will try to get posted sometime over the next couple days.

Thanks again to everyone for coming out. Best buggy bash yet.

Yeah. It was a blast and I'm glad to have met everyone... even the Doctor of Snobs, oops I mean snobdr :singing:

Ragden, yeah, I had trouble sitting up when I woke up in the middle of the night, but by the time I had to get up for work I wasn't doing too badly. As it is, I'm seriously sore and happy as h#ll.

I'm disappointed though, I managed to lose the OBE sticker that lad gave me. I know I put it in my black bag, but it wasn't there anymore by the time I got home. I have to wonder if it didn't fly away when I opened that bag later .

Hope to see everyone again come spring and some of you earlier than that...

Awesome video Todd! I really wish I was there Friday for that run! You know what they say "you should have been here yesterday!"

The Dr was in.
I tried to fit in by flying foils even. I actually was diggin the 5M montana on Sat. Wish it was the 8.5 or the 12 though. Then sunday after doing battle with the 8M neo, which i didnt like at all (just ask if you want to know why) I pumped up the 13M ozone and got some riding in.
Was cool meeting new people, and every bash seems to get bigger.
Its kite season in WW so keep en eye on the wind and tide, If the wind is up and the tide is down most likely someone is kiting.

Was this because you were flying around with your zipper open

Good to see you again and yes the season is here.


Good times

And i didnt think anyone noticed

I finally got to get in front of a computer since returning from Wildwood. Nothing but a great time with great people. Definately worth the 7 hr drive! Many thanks to everyone who participated. It was great meet you all. Now I happen to know that there is a ton of great video footage of Sat and Sun out there so lets see it :singing: . And that Libre spirit,,,,,,,,,, very fast kite. Thanks for letting us have a go on it Todd.

I too had a wonderful time at Wildwood. As usual the best part of the weekend was the people. Everyone was extremely friendly and it was a pleasure to get to know them. It was my first trip to Wildwood and I was impressed with location; I am sure it won't be my last. It was certainly worth the long ride and sleep deprivation. I wish I had been there Friday also.

The beach is nice and long, and even the soft sand was rideable with my narrow tires. There are some obstacles that are fun to maneuver around. The other beach goers were very friendly and I got lots of smiles and waves (except from one...)

Another big thank you to Todd for bringing and sharing the Libre Spirit. It is a really fast kite and uber race machine. I had a blast with it and really want one or two or three. I will post a review shortly.

Kudos to the NJbuggyclub. Thanks for your hospitality, you put on a great event. Also I was happy to see so many new people just starting on the adventure of power kiting and to feel there enthusiasm.
