Hey everyone.

Whos going to the NABX that landboards then? It would be rad to get loads of people there and have a jam.

Who is interested in a fun short compitition, like last years free ride jam?

Basicly, anyone can enter, we get a designated area one time during the week and a pannel of judges will pick thier favourite rider. Prizes possibly!

Just abit of fun as I said, but its defently worth pushing for a comp if your looking to improve your riding and the sports exposure, especially at the NABX, the Euros love it!

Alex

p.s NOTHING if official, im working with the NABX crew to sort this out but we need your help. :singing:

Impromptu competitions welcome at NABX!! We compete for fun all the time, and will continue to do so!

Bring it!

aoxo~!

Dunno if it's been done before, but I know a couple of the locals want to run the race course on the landboards as well, it'd have to be a seperate race to the bugs, but well, they're just a tad bit competitive and want to see how they do in the big picture.

I'm sure we can get a couple events going.

hahaha.
But Alex, it's just not fair if you're competing :D

I'll race a go-slo.

How bout all the pro's race backwards for one event?:singing:

Does that mean Glenn has to for the npw race? ..........aj

I'm with AJ. Have Glenn race backwards.

unless you have a sundial, it's really difficult to see if a NPW pilot is going forwards or backwards.....

Ouch:tumble:

Haha awsome. Why dont we make Butch and Eli ride 2m kite also

So people are game, right?

Im thinking, spend the afternoon one day in a specific area, pannel of judges, throw prizes out if someone does somthing rad. Have a first, second and third place. Would be great for anyone who wants to test landboarding and push themselfs when they might of not had the chance useually

Were all here for fun too, it would be great to jam with everyone!
Alex

So who wants to give it ago

Depends on if you're planning on having a noob contest as well. On most days I can get back to my kitebag.

I'm in if you're willing to let a noob dirtsurfer in too:frog:

How about an open comp for everyone? Its only for fun.

Well, I'll give it a go, mainly for laughs and such, but sounds like fun. I know there's at least 3 others in our group that'll give the landboard comp a go as well.

sick!

Please though, I ask all of you to laugh with us, not at us. I've just started with the landboard about a month ago.

Hey man, its fine. I think its rad your ready to give it ago! I wouldnt have after a month, it took me a long time to learn to kite and board.

See you all there, not long!

Alex.

I'm still trying to work it all out to see if I can come. Blake tells me losing my job and wife might be worth the trip to NABX and he's never steered me wrong before! hah. If I make it, I'd love to bring my landboard and participate.

Don't worry Pablo, I suck too. I was getting jumps down and felt cool then I messed up and wrecked my ankle. 2 weeks of rehab and I was ready for more. In this picture you can almost see it snap!




Sounds like fun! If I decide not to lose my job and wife, take lots of pictures so I can live vicariously!

A.

Nah man, keep the job and wife, teach her how to kite, if she won't kite, teach her to take pics and socialize. Either way, you'll be loaded with a wife ready to come for next year.

I've only just started a montha go to Pablo, so you're not alone:D

Ohh, she can kite. She's pretty good actually. She's a teacher and really wants to go but she can't take that week off. Actually she's hardcore! Right after this pic she went warp speed and tried to go over a drainage ditch and ended up breaking a rib. I guess she hit so hard her shoe came off! haha.. So if I go, I'll just have to play it down like.. "yeah hunny.. you didn't miss much."




Ironically we went to the ER together. Her with a craked rib, me with a swollen ankle. People must have thought we had a major domestic dispute! NABX sounds like a blast.. can't wait!

A.

I would be willing, but you two with a month have about 27 more days than I.... but if I can get to where I can get going on it at the pre event, I may be willing to be laughed at and come in last..... LOL!!!!

Seany

The more people having ago the more fun it will be for sure! Im flying into USA tomorrow, not long till NABX!

hey alex, you gonna be on the playa at all before the pre-event? If so, and my job permits (I'm on call during the day and work at a show at night), would mind a meet-up?

Well, I do have a month on the board, but mostly a month of sitting in the rain trying to fly a soaking wet kite and when it's actually airbourn jumping on the board and riding for 30ft before the kite falls from the sky. So far I've had 2 good sessions to date on the board where I'm nicely powered up on a 5m kite and can easily get back to my gear with dry ground instead of mud under me. Those days have been shared with helping noobies learn to buggy, It's all good though.

I look forwards to some good laughs with some new friends.
