Van: Thanks for the kind words. come out and bring that custom buggy. We have TX represented by Taper123 but that is a big state and could use more! We have the room for sure.

Rich: Can't wait to meet the gang from your neck of the woods. Seeing Todd without a helmet on is worth the price of admission alone.

Angus the thrill is going to be all ours! Look forward to meeting you guys as well!

It came to my attention that the links for registration purchase were not on the JIBE page as advertised. This has been fixed.

Also the JIBE_Guide.pdf has been updated with corrections and amplifications (see links on my 2/28 post above.)

Nate and I are regestering on Fri and Sat (20/21st)......................we will have the water gear, buggy, and landboard.....................just look for the bald guy with kite pump.................................:duh::duh:

Nate ordered a 9m Hadlow today and registered us for JIBE on the 20th/21st..........................look forward to meeting new/riding with new friends and the good ole SOFKA crew......................water gear, buggy, and KGB will be available upon request..........................any of you thinking about the water Nate, and I will be more than happy to assist.....................again look for the bald guy with pump:duh::duh:

Take tridude up on his offer if you've been thinking about giving the water a go. I'm sure I still couldn't do it if not for all his explanations and help right there in the water. He won't just tell you what you want to hear, but he can get you there if you can listen and put into action what he's saying.

just got all the tickets bought, hotels booked, rentals secured... wallet emptied lol!

:singing: :singing: :singing:

Should be a riot, i'm all sorts of stoked about the trip!

Thanks for putting this together, and all of your hard work!

Well, even if I can't be there, at least my old buggy can go back home to Jekyll. Glad you put this together Drew.

Yes that buggy will be able to navigate itself on JI beach!
Great News Drew!

Why can't something like that happen near SE Arizona?

dude?

i'm pretty much totally bald lol

I was totaly referring to me...........................sorry Drew!:duh::duh:hey at least you have eye brows................:o

Both you guys bring a lot of sunscreen for the dome. You have to wear a helmet anyway while on any kind of wheels, but if you wear a bike helmet with vents, the burn marks are pretty funny.

I will say that even the Jekyll Island Authority is getting stoked and has JIBE on their web site on the events calendar.

Thats awesome! Its great that you have built such a good relationship with those folks Angus. Too often we hear about the negative, liablilty issues, local ordninances, etc.

JI is a special place for sure......................whats the status of the shops and gas station?

Shops and post office are relocated a mile north to a temporary center using commercial trailers- sounds odd but really is pretty nice.

The Twentieth Century Fox movie set for X-Men is nearly gone and they will leave it better than before.

The new gas station and Flash Foods convenience store with Dairy Queen Express is open on the old station site and is very nice. All eco-friendly with LED lighting inside (OK, it's a little dark), and really nice landscaping and picnic space outside.

Gas prices are higher than mainland by about 4-5 cents- not as bad as before.

The old convention center and shopping center are completely gone and footings and castings for the new center and village are going up. everything about the project is eco-friendly and they even transplanted massive 100+ year old Live Oaks. The root balls they cut out were over 60' wide wrapped in burlap and I do not know how they lifted them.

Return visitors will be stunned when they see what is going on.

More about the reconstruction here...

If you can't tell, I am extremely proud of what is going on on Jekyll Island and can't wait to share with new visitors.

Dang, I need to get registered soon! Maybe later tonight, busy, busy, busy! Can't wait to see and meet you guys!

Registered, waivered, and stoked!

That is great Frank, thanks

Yeah I know that many are distracted by NABX, but I would like to get registrations in soon so I know what to plan for. No need to pay now if that is a trouble- you can click "Will call" or "check-money order" on the site and pay me when you get here.

Click here to go to the general JIBE site that has links to secure purchase of registration

Click here to go direct to registration purchase.

Click here to download the JIBE Guide PDF with faxable registration form, waiver, maps, checklists and useful info

It also is helpful to me to be able to tell the Jekyll Island Authority how many are coming and from where, and this will also help with press coverage. Right now we have Maine, Texas, Missouri, Nebraska, New York and Maryland confirmed and booked in addition to the local regional knuckleheads in the SE USA

Still waiting to hear on California and Canada.

The stoke is building strong. Thanks everybody!!

One additional knucklehead registered.

I am sooooo looking forward to this.

i really want to go since ive havent been but my vacation time is being eaten up fast since I have these world travels to make this season.

i will have to see after NABX, but my hopes are to send Kitemama here and than hang with someone locally for 7 days before she would head over to The Kite Expo.

Not to mention, I need 2-3 weeks just for Eurocups 2011 as well.

Finally registered, not waived yet, but looking forward to getting it. Can't wait to get to the fort! Can't wait to meet all of you!

Crossing fingers for time off...buggy or not, I want to go
