Originally posted by buggydanny 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. yeah... what he said i had a great time, still sore from my O.B.E. met a bunch of great people. my kids had a great time and felt comfortable and welcome around all of you. Dean and Dan i thank you for the tandem rides you gave the kids (and even myself-o.k so my best ride was on the back of somebody elses buggy but who cares) looking forward to the spring!

No doubt, the best three days in a row I've ever had sitting in a buggy! I was one of the fortunate ones that arrived Thurs. night, and got to experience the 'epic' winds on Friday! The wind gods were especially good to us on Fri., but also Sat. and Sun. had great conditions. I got to hang with some of the best folks, and soak up some of the history of this sport both east and west from frangram, buggymangp, and Don from Powerkiteplace.com. I too had one of my best rides of the weekend on the back of kiteguru's Flexi., it was awsome to watch such an excellent pilot work that Blade out over the water (though I probably provided a little too much ballast!)Thanks kg. I did get in some amazing runs of my own, both with my NPW and the 2M Beamer. Not sure exactly how fast I got up to, but I know it was faster than ever before! I can't wait for spring to do it again, but I sure hope to see as many of you as care to do some snowkiting up here on the Tug Hill this winter. Again, many thanks to the NJ Buggy Club et al for putting on such a great event!!

Here it is.......................let me know what you think....not my best but I think its ok.

What a great idea Joe, I like how you started by filming all of the gear and then worked into it!


Very nice!

Great video Joe, I think you got lots of good footage in there!

Great vid Joecat!
I don't know about being an "excellent pilot" bobalooie. I just sit down and hold on:D. Maybe we can get some of you guys to come up here to join us for a weekend in Lynn, Mass.
Glad the kids enjoyed the rides Cheezy. Buggying just wouldn't be the same if you couldn't get everyone involved.
It was great to finally meet everyone that posts here.

Kteguru, just face it, you've got skills, lol. Most of us agreed on this fact.

Seconded. I was sitting back watching you work that 8.5 blade thinking, damn that guy is good with that kite. Way more fixed-bridle than I would have dared to fly.

All I can say is third... because I said that to my son the first time I seen you two wheeling across the sand. Way to go Dean!

O.K. I fourth it if that even makes sense. I was walking in when he two wheeled it up by the hotel! My mom is still talking about how much fun she had on the back of that buggy! Definitely impressive my friend!

Holy cow!!! I leave for a few hours and when I come back to the forum there's a bunch of posts suggesting the impossible. I think you guys got too much sun this weekend. Many thanks for the kind words, I'm glad all the kids (and moms and dads) had fun on the back of the old flexi. When ever I ask the younger kids if they want to ride on 2 wheels they never seem to say no,,,,,,go figure :wee:. Thank you again to all of you guys. No one could pick a greater group of people to ride with.
Good winds
Dean

Nice vid Joe, finally got a chance to watch it.

I put captions in the first two galleries, but the last one was too large... sorry.

awesome pics ragden!

They are calling for high westerly winds for us tomorrow, Rian and I have already loaded up the buggies and hope to be heading to a local spot. Of course nothing like wild wood!!!!!!!

Ok,,,, you guys know that I have to rub it in every once in awhile........but they are calling for North West winds here in Wildwood tomorrow.......gusts of 40mph... of course insane for a kite but the blow kart will be kicking butt! I am thinking about hitting the beach after work.. Thats why they call me LBJ.

Great pics Ragden, your wife got some really good shots. Thanks for posting them up!

That they do Joe... be safe and have fun!


Oh and take video proof or it really didn't happen

Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to let you know what I thought about buggy bash being as it was a new experience for me and Beth. We had a lot of expectations going down but just let me tell you that we had such a good time at the bash we are hooked already!

Seriously, what a great chance to try out new equipment, learn some stuff and we couldn't have asked for a friendlier group of people. We felt right at home! A special thanks to the guys who helped me get the Pansh Ace 6m sorted out and thanks Don for organizing it. We're already looking forward to the next bash!!!

Randy, your lucky to have a lady like Beth. I've never seen anyone untangle a bridle like that. I would have just sat there scratching my head :dunno:.
Cant wait to hit Wildwood in the spring. :bouncy:

Had such a great time at Wildwood Buggy Base that I just can't leave.
I want more!
LBJ, I'll be enjoying Wednesday's big wind. Will call you.
Be here Thursday too (Apollo).
