Footage from the Spring 2010 Wildwood Buggy Bash. A big thanks to Dean aka "kteguru" for giving me a lift on the back of his buggy so I could capture this footage. THANKS DEAN!!

I had posted this on YouTube, but they really butchered the quality so i'm giving Vimeo a shot, definitely looks better. Hope you guys like the video, let me know what you think!

Vimeo Video

That video simply ROCKS! I just preview the raw video the other night and was laughing that you were yelling for me to slow down. Thanks for getting me hooked on the music and video footage!

Man, that's just kite p0rn. I didn't want it to end. What were the conditions that the blade had an advantage on the venom and then the venom had the advantage later. Wind pick up? My heart jumped when I saw that blade launch. The only kite I ever regretted selling. Maybe someday I'll get one again.

Nice.

sweet vid Rian come on october!

Good fun!

Love it! Just like being there.

Unbelievable vid Rian. Everyone's videos of WW just keep getting better!!! And yes,,,, we were yelling at Todd to slow down due to his unfair use of some kind of Venom afterburners or something. There's a lot to be said for depower when the winds are 12 gusting past 25. Todd had the advantage the whole way Bob. When the gusts hit it appeared he was able to just depower and maintain a decent line down the beach unlike Rian and I just doing 3 wheel drifts with each gust even though our combined weight must be easily past 350 lbs. Todd is without a doubt a master with those flying mattress thingy's.

Sorry again for the destruction of your camera mount Rian. Us rookie's are always breaking things on the light wind days;-).

Note to self...... go lighter on the sunscreen

Lovely chillaxed video...I wanna hit the beach now

Thanks for the compliments everyone, I really appreciate them! This was only the second video i've ever attempted and I have to say, I did put in a little effort.:roll:

Dean, like I said before, no worries on that camera mount. My brother-in-law is gonna get it fixed up for me. I'm just glad nothing was damaged on your end. Out of curiousity, did you see it and were trying not to hit it, or just didn't see it at all. Only reason I ask is I want to make sure it's very visible to everyone around because of it's position. I was concerned about that when I brought it out and was going to put flags or something on top. I think you suggested painting it a bright fluorescent color. I just don't want it to be a hazzard to anyone.

Definately did not see it Rian. I wouldn't intentionally try to get it caught in a kite. I didn't see it til it was too late. Of course the wind being really light that day didn't help the 8.5 stay in the air either. :Ange09:

Gotcha. I wasn't sure if you were able to see it and were unable to avoid it, or if it was just invisible all together. When I get it back, i'm gonna see if I can get it painted up and put something on top to make it more visible. I may end up cutting down the height too. I just started with it that tall to see how the angle would look. I knew it'd be easier to start big and work my way down, rather than the opposite.

Hey Rian, that is a great video. you really have an eye for editing, nice timing, good music selection,etc... there are guys i work with who get paid to edit and don't have your talent, keep it up!! :bigok:

Nice vid bud. I like how there is that giant 8m outlaw hovering over your head at one point. I laughed when I saw that...
I look forward to more of your vids.

Yeah, you were hard to capture on vid, cause you were always just blasting right by, lol

I wasn't going to say it on the forum but thought the very same thing :wow:

Just a thought for the top of that camera mount would be a section of orange surveyor's tape, something that might not flap around so much causing vibration.



Oh, can we talk about some afterburners now :D

Ok, That's it No more blowing by Dean due to the use of depower afterburners on ridiculous gusty days. I need one of those flying mattress thingy's. Who can hook me up with a test of a Charger 12? What size was that Venom Todd? 13?

mmmmm.... depower......

I'm never going back to fixed bridles.....

.....depower....mmmmm!!

If it makes you feel any better Dean, most of the time ragden blasted by...he was going the other way, lol....but he was still blastin along pretty good.

Now let’s take a note of this... I Todd did not first bring up the afterburner subject. However now that the topic has surfaced I can sit back with my can of lighter fluid adding a little at a time.


I hate to break it to you Dean but that was my little ol' 8m doing its magic, a flying pillow case if you will. I'd have to put the buggy on a scale but I could guarantee that my combined weight would be 350 plus. I'm a believer in those Carlisle’s holding a true line for me!

You sir are the master of flying those flexi's but I can arrange a 12m Charger for you to demo if interested
:evil:

Is your buggy really THAT light??? OOOOHHHH!!!! ::ducking for cover:: :P :singing:

Ouch... good one


Remember that comment after that last Buggy Bash about a fat man flying down the beach? :moon:
I tried to locate that old thread, it was a good laugh.

Very nice video Looking forward to more.

Great video Rian! I love all the trash talk too! Can't wait for October or sooner! A few good runs after labor day over there are a definite!

Great bugging Dean!!!!!
