Let’s Vote!

February 17th 2009 | Posted by Brian

Ok, per LBJ’s suggestion, I would like to prepare our trophy for our next event. I don’t know what we are going to use it for but I am sure it will find a good home in any way.

Here is the list of kite stakes. It has three pages with unique number for each stake. Check them out all and post here which is your favorite. I will purchase the most popular one.

#1 is my favorite.

commenter

I like that one too, but, just to be different, I’ll vote for #20. :)

commenter

you make it hard with all those same stakes….

I like the plain stake )HQ stake…)

commenter

You cant vote on that one! LoL. We have too many of those floating around already. It wouldnt even be unique. Now.. if you really want some cool kitestakes, there is a guy in Cali who hand makes em. Rather expensive, but extremely cool. Here is a link with a bunch of his…

Don’t be shy people. Vote!

I like #1 also.

commenter

i like #24.
but i have one of those fancy kite stakes that dave from cal. makes. i won it a few years back for winning all 3 npw races. its real cool looking with a big smiling devil face on it.
i will give it up to this good cause.
if i can get a picture of it. i will. trust me its a cool looking stake. i won`t even use it out of fear of damaging it. it just sits in my power kite bag.

commenter

I would feel bad if we take what you “won.” Besides, we don’t even know what we are going to do with it. Let’s see how this race thing turns out.

Good offer though. Very nice of you.

commenter

i just looked at daves stakes.
if you look at page 3. its number dscf6687.
thats the one i won. again. brian, if you want it for the trophy. its yours. or should i say its for the person who wins. just let me know who wins and i`ll ship it to the winner

commenter

hey brian.
DON`T feel bad. its my way of giving back to the club. like i said. i don`t use it and never will. i`m bad when comes to losing stakes. i went back to using an ol screwdriver or golf ball stake.

commenter

I picked 3 best for me…

1. # 20
2. # 7
3. # 1

commenter

Hey Buggyman,

That is very nice of you to offer… Our idea was to have the stake make the rounds within the buggy club by each time we meet we have an informal race and whoever wins takes possession of the stake only to give it up to the next winner…. not just races either,, it could be whoever has the best OBE or something like that…..Brian mentioned about it could be the person who comes in 3rd place instead of 1st or whatever we decide for the day… this way everyone would have a chance at bragging rights and to take possession of the stake……

commenter

thats a great idea.
we do have something like that at nabx with a wooden tyki god. i won that for one year when i buggied naked and earned my buggy naked pin. after i buggied naked 3 other guys did it the same day and i won the god cause i started this buggy naked craze that day.
I WANT THIS STAKE TO MAKE THE ROUNDS WITHIN THE CLUB. of course if you guys want it.

commenter

I think it would be really cool to get one of those custom made stakes from the other link (one I posted), but when I asked him about the price of those stakes, they are rather expensive. However, I would be willing to chip in for a little bit more expensive stake. I think the price range was between 75 and 100 dollars for those stakes.

Buggyman, that is way to generous of you. I do think think we could, in good conscience, take that trophy from you for our little games. Please, keep your stake, its too cool to be bandied about. :)

commenter

$75 ~$100? Ouch. As much as I like to have one of those cool kite stakes and even with members’ donation, I think it’s just too much.

Remember, we started with LBJ’s suggestion and he was thinking about a cheap crappy trophy, we already have or he could pick up in garage sale. Then, I suggested $25 stake, and now it’s up to $100….

I don’t know… maybe we should stick to LBJ’s original suggestion, $1 trophy from garage sale…

commenter

THIS IS IT.
I`M GOING TO SAY IT ONE MORE TIME, YES I`M SHOUTING. THE STAKE IS FOR THE CLUB.
I`M NOT GOING ASK AGAIN IF YOU WANT IT, ITS YOUR. IF NOT. SO BE IT.

commenter

ok, ok, I will take it. Unless you are coming to our next event and bring it with you. Do you need my address again? I recently moved to a new place due to flooding problem. I am not sure if you have my new address.

commenter

oh, by the way, http://www.dakitez.com read about this and nice enough to include stake holder + free shipping in that price. So, I am going to order one. If we are not going to use it for 2nd place (1st prize is what Glenn has), I might just keep it. I had my eyes on that thing anyway :)

commenter

brian.you just made an old man(me) very happy.
yes i will need your new address.
i`m glad its going to a good home.
i will dig it out of my dusty power kite bag.
again. i want to do this. not i have to do this.
ask me about the time i won a 6meter new tech kite at nabx one year and never even took it out of the bag and i put it right back in for raffling.
its all about the love for buggying and the friends i made because of it.
enjoy the stake.

commenter

Ladies and Gentlemen, now NJ Buggy Club has its own official trophy, thanks to one of the club founders, Glenn Pedro, AKA old man.

commenter

i still need your address

commenter

just let me know where and who to send it to.
i should be able to ship it out this week. as long as i have somewhere to send it. LOL

commenter

Okay.. okay.. I’m sold. Thats a VERY cool looking kite stake. Guess I’ll have to make the next event so I can get a shot at it… :)

commenter

Wow Im glad that is finally settled… So its official The New Jersey Buggy Club has its first Award and its going to be called

THE BUGGYMAN AWARD! In tribute to the founding father of the club. You guys know that I will be the first one to take possession of the “Buggyman” Award…….

commenter

Being the only rider on the beach does not make you the winner by default… ;)

commenter

Well I figured that the first award would go to the best looking buggyier so naturally I thought it would be me…..but I guess we can figure that out when the time comes…..

commenter

The winner here is Glenn!!!

commenter

you guys are bringing tears to my eyes.
thanks.
i like the fact its being called the buggyman award.
the stake is on the way to brian today.

commenter

It’s mine, suckers!

commenter

Its cool Brian, you wont be holding it for long :D

commenter

update
joe just sent me his address. so i`ll be shipping it to him.

commenter

urrr~ Now, I am the sucker :(

commenter

sorry brian.
update. i just handed off the box to my UPS driver.
joe
let me know when you get it.

commenter

You know,,, I sitting here scrolling down and reading,,, thinking all the time the buggyman was being shipped to me and then I see Glenn’s post of the buggyman being shipped to him and Brian with his big “ITs Mine Suckers!” only to scroll down a little further to see that Glen got my email and “Poooooff” Brian is “The Sucker” life is sweet. Now it will have to be erned out of my hands,,,,Glen I will let you know when I get it. And of course if we hit the beach this weekend,, it will be with me so it looks as if Don, Me or Jesse will retain it by the end of the weekend…..I think this weeks competition should be “who is the shortest” buggier……….what do you tall guys think?

commenter

Ok, Jen just canceled her snowkiting trip and will show up at WW this weekend. Now, what do you tall guys think, LBJ???

commenter

Well now…..in order to qualify,, she must fly a kite for at least 5 seconds and move in the buggy for at least 25 feet…..

commenter

but what if the award goes to the shortest flight? Hmmmmmmmmmm

commenter

Glenn, I will give the award a nice place on the new website….

commenter

thanks jesse.
i don`t know if you guys know. i had a nj buggy club banner made a number of years back. you might see it in a few pictures around the web. but i`m not giving that up just yet. that banner followed me all around the places i buggied that.

commenter

The Buggyman Award has arrived safe and sound and is ready for this weekend. Thanks again Glenn. We will take good care of it…. By default or not….I am the first recepiant of the award. The question is now who will get it next?

commenter

Are you Buggyman worthy???????????????

commenter

I think each time we meet,,,,,it should be passed off to another member….. Weather that be for a race or some other reason… What do you guys think about if there is not a race that all agree upon….then whoever has possession can pass it off to whomever they want and say what the reason is. Example,,,,,,if for no other reason,, we could say ok nothing memorble today but “So and So” traveled the furthest today,,,or so and so tried the hardest,, the reasons could be endless if we dont have a race or other type event. The idea would be to share and let it make the rounds within our group. Blaa Blaa Blaa………..it looks really cool.

commenter

Sounds fair enough to me.

commenter

i`m glad you got it and i know its going to a good home. boy that was fast shipping. its pays to take of my UPS driver.
