NABX 2011,..almost finished,....packing gear,..

Yep, that was it,. NABX 2011,...our good friend Dean Jordan ( organiser NABX) become sick after the first day with some heart problems, luckly the Doctor in the Hospital helped him wel, and were monitoring him closely, I do not know the exact details from what is going on,but they said that he could leave the hospital next theusday, Get well soon Dean we missed you on the playa !!!!

Further on, no specials things happened, this is another NABX as we are used to, not much wind,just fun with cruising and partying in the evening,...Marijn, our rep. from Peter Lynn products shot some very nice pictures, can't wait to see them all !!. hereunder you find some pictures from our morning session this morning on the last day , just before we packed our gear. at 5 o'clock Arjen woke us up as there was a lot of wind blowing ,...so ,we went to the playe in the dark, and yes wind was popping up !!,. Arje did a run with a speed of "only"96 km/h, when the wind dropped, and it was gone... during the day it picked up a bit and we were paking our gear,... as it need to be back for shipping,.

So, this was a great event again, we didn't heb the opportunity to go realy fast, but maybe next year,..
By this we want to thank Ricardo and Maria, for the best support one can get, !! awesome guys, we love you ! We also want to thank the complete NABX team for all their efforts, to make tih gerat event, even bigger then last year !!, and Dean , get well soon bro !, we missed you !,...Lenka thanks for the great editing and support you gave us !...

Good winds,

NABX 2011,..uuuh Day 4 ?? or something ?!?,...

So, forgeting wich day it is, I looked out of the window and yes,.......no wind,.. again,... so we were up for a relax session on the playa, during the day normally the wind comes up a bit, but, I think today wil be a day for meeting more pilots and more beer !.

Yestyerdag we played a bit around with some kites, but all just for fun, no real speeds ...

What the hell is this for are buggy ?!?

NABX 2011, day 1,...."the Broken M20"

well, here we are at last, after a long journey, with also a motor faillure in a boeing 767-400, we finaly arived, the faillure was buy yhe way on the ground, so, we needed to change planes,...

The next day we were on the playa and start building and meeting people up , shaking hands etc.. finaly we build up our gear and started to play, damn, It is always a surprise how hard and hazardous the surface is !!, need to get used to it in the next couple of days,...

Marijn from vliegerop made about 400 shots with his new camera gear, and they look great.
The freestyle guys, Jeroen Pigmans and John Penders hitted it with the new freestyle buggy from Xxtreme, and they had a blast.

O yes, before I forget,...after a couple of runs, I did a turn, and my M20 bolt broken off, ...yes M20,.. sheared right off, I was glad not at high speed,....everthing is fixed now, but now angled bolts now,..

It is now 5.15 in the morning, and I cannot sleep, so do some typing,...
