I noticed that also
I guess for her its normal for him to leaving that way.

The ending cracked me up. Nice beach, cool rides, excellent buggy exit.

Me too! Very nice video, great spot, awesome ending. Thanks!

That was twice as good as usual 'cause there were 2 buggies and twice as many OBE's !

What a sweet ending!

:wee:

Hey Rips....not a very good advert for Apexx Sidebar Technology...."just sayin"...or is this an advert saying have one made to measure :tumble:

bye

That's great Rip. Thanks for putting that together. When I did the ejection at the end , what you cant see is that I actually land on my feet about 10' away.
I actually don't have any more OBE's than anyone else it's just that they end yo on film........ I am getting better at the landing though.:tumble: was a great vacation in Oregon especially having the 32' motor home on the beach at sunset, nothing like having everything right there when you need it. It was interesting getting it off the beach at high tide though with three cars stuck in the sand right in the middle of the sunset road approach, that's where my wheelin experience pays off.

Good job Rip.

Great vid. What beach is that? Nice venue!
Bye, LOL

Thats the trouble with having cameras pointing at you I guess lol, tbh I dont have that many OBEs, and the only time I do seem to is when I am doing something I shouldn't be doing, or really needn't do...only 2 weeks ago, it was towards the end of the day, and the beach was clearing, there were three of us practicing doing tack turns one end and suicide gybes the other, we were getting faster and faster...when I got caught, up and out the back, I was told I went about 12 feet in the air then slam dunked on my back, then dragged another 30m....certainly knocked the wind out of me, and I could barely turn my head that evening my neck was that stiff.

I wish I could have vacations like that, it looked an awesome place, stay cool Grant

Great vid and yes, the sweet and innocent wave bye was quite classic. I don't think I could pop out of my buggy like that. I kind of do a twist to pop into place and then again to get back out.

LOVE the ending...bye bye!!! /wave

the beach is Manzo (south of sunset) and also Sunset Beach the event venue for SOBB.

when we made my ApeXX both Grant and I got it in the same size. either we're getting more skinny or not eating enough McDonald's. We had to add some more foam to the side rails. The foam was going thin after use. my new buggy is even smaller than the last one.

actually, Grants OBE is always because of his upturns. not to mention dude loves to ride overpowered. we don't just putt putt around the parks / beaches, we ride!!!

honestly we need to name the OBE something else when you land on two feet.

custom buggies always RULE, same with the ApeXX. hehehehe. Just saying.

Grant needs to eat more tacos so he can fit tight in those rails

I am locked solid in my apex :P I messed up a couple times and instead of an OBE the kite just picked up me and the buggy together I knew I made the best purchase ever when that happened!

OOBE = land on your face / ass

KEGL = Kite Ejected Graceful Landing :o For when you land on your feet...

I couldn't agree more. When it's done as smoothly as Grant and one lands on their feet, it deserves much more of a deserving name.

nice KEGL Grant

KEGL....... um, might wanna pick some other name that doesnt correlate to something else
"oh man, did you see that kegl... impressive!"
AHAHAHAHA!

was that rip riding shotgun waving bye?

lol, good vid!

iOBE= intentional OBE

We could always call it a "Grant" when we land on our feet. What do you think of that Cool Breeze? :bigok:

My mind is racing with all the angles of attack between KEGL, pink skirt. I'm going to let things settle down before I really comment. :ticking:

Well" KEGEL" exercises are what women of a certain age do to strengthen up the muscles in the lower abdominal area to stop them from peeing them selves, which is sort of appropriate cuz when ever I have an OBE I almost piss my self.

As far as calling it a "Grant", we all want to be famous in one way or another,....not too sure I want to be famous for that though. As I recall BigKid's OBE was way more dramatic than anything I've ever done. may be it should be call a 'Jeff"
Just sayin......

CB

Bye.....Bye...... She seems strangely use to that method of departure!!!!!!

AWESOME!!!!! Great Video!

Rip you always seem to make great vids.
In your honor, maybe it could be named a "riparture" for "Really Impressive Powered departure

:wee:

How about Pulling a " Grant " Like Big K said?


Kind of like how wrapping your kite around a pole is called a " Ricky " around here !

Or borrowing kites then leaving them in a mess. Locally called "Greging".

Poor Jeff didn't exactly land on his feet !

;-)

can't be pulling a grant... this is an intentional oobe

I didn't use KEGL out of the blue

Ripstop is too much like fabric, and we'd need to see more footage first :p

GOOBER = Graceful out of buggy exit required, kinda like grant-ing it on purpose :wee:

I think this is becoming a troll thread...

Just to clear the air, an OBE that ends up with body damage has been called a Jeff for over a year now, a Washington joke. Wasnt funny back then, but it is now.
If we dont call it a Grant then Grant gets to name it, sense he perfected it. just my 2 cents worth.

I like just calling it a "Grant". It's a really cool thing and he's definitely got the most video footage worldwide of pulling it off. It actually has me thinking about it he makes it look so easy.

The skilled make it look easy.
The talented make it look effortless.

Ya make that look effortless, Grant.
