I figure i should post this sooner than later. I need a vacation after this event. Its also going to take me a few weeks to get my article written and submitted and uploaded the 1000’s of pics to the NABX site.Thank you to:
Dean and the NABX Crew (Claxton, Blake, Scooter, etc etc) for the great times this year. It was the best year ever, with the food and all. No more McDonald runs when there’s wind.Dean for making me give a 5 min sponsor speech at the dinner event. Yes, you finally see im not the one in the avatar picture, as corey said we’ll still believe thats you. LOL.Slawek / Linka for all the wild videos taken over the years, it was enjoyable watching them all at the nightly party in room 433B.For helping me show the Dutch Crews a good time, and i couldn’t have done that without you guys. I will continue to bring more euro riders every year.
Faster Arie (Libre Factory Team Rider), you have set the bar that much higher and have taught me so much more about going faster (controllable). Also waking us all up so early in the morning because you saw wind in the morning.Ozzy / Ruudje (Team Xxtreme) for designing me the best custom buggy in the world. My buggy was fast last year but better than year. I enjoyed the Dutch lessons, the late nights, early mornings, drinks, laughs and good times. Memories to last until next year.
Maarten / Robert (Team Cooper) for bringing new kites to demo and play with. Robert for showing me how to flip an XXtreme XXRacer at 101 Km. =)Tell Carien (H81) to come next year, and I said HI!!!
Sthrasher / Dino – Dakitez / Screwy Jr / Screwy Sr / Elkiter (Norcal Crew) for the funny times.
Ken #4 (F5 Kites), get well soon and thx for all the beers at the bar, and being our buggy neighbour.
Kent (A Wind of Change) for taking care of receiving all the Dutch items shipped over. Sorry for the million cell phone calls and emails. Next year we’ll have more items to ship. Doh!
Bladerunner – Ken #2 / Mark / Ziggy / Ken #3 / Drifter / Markus (Canadian Crew), lots of good times!!!Dirtslide (Ken #1) you were missed but not forgotten, bro. I had 38 on my kites that helped me go faster, get well soon.
Sunset Jim, for taking my tires to NABX and taking home my BF Light tires in your already full trailer. Also being my riding partner again, good thing i didn’t need rescue this year. I hope those linesets last you longer at home than this year’s winds. See you at SOBB 2009
Eli, thank for helping me keep pace with the Dutch Crews. Jon Ellis (Kitebuggy Speed Shop) for the use of his buggies, and parking our buggies there at night. See you at SOBB 2009.
Fast Freddy, for changing all my blown tires.
Monty, letting me see that I can still buggy in my later years. Enjoy that World Record Buggy.
Im probably forgetting so many people (AJ, B Brex, Susan, Paul, Terry, etc etc) and all the people that I only see once a year and all the old / new faces. thank you!!!
My NABX 2009 sponsors, XXtreme Buggies / U-Turn Kites / Zebra Kites / Climax LinesPeter Lynn Products International / Vliegerop BV, for coming to the event to let us all see the new toys coming and demo them as well. Throwing in a PL Folding Buggy into the auction. Lastly for sponsoring me for the 2009 / 2010 season, and helping me achieve my new personal record at 108.2 Km on the Reactor II 2.2m Proto.
Greatest of all, Kitebuggy Mama (Maria – Wife) for help me get the Dutch in order and getting me organized for the event and setting up kites in those super high winds. Recording video and taking all those pictures and helping out in the tent.
see you at the next event or nabx 2010.
