How heavy is the buggy? Can you dissamble it and stick it in a duffle bag? I took my buggy to California once, and that was rough. The bag was heavy
as hell, and I had to pay a bunch extra because of its weight and size. Might be cheaper to ship it. Use UPS Ground, and it'll probably take a week.
Hope that helps...

UPS is good for shipping large items. Flying with gear can be sketchy sometimes. They took silvereagles hubs after NABX

Find a place that sells carpeting. You can generally get the heavy cardboard tubes for free. Cap the ends and you're good to go.

I just bubble wrap my axle and then saran wrap them real good. Made there safe and sound to WBB. Cost for TWO 5 foot axles to New Jersey from Texas
was $40. I also shipped TWO sets of rails with tires, kites, harness, etc weighing about 100 lb in a huge box for another $90. Much better than
bringing on the plane and paying $200 oversize charges. I used UPS ground. It got there in 3 days.

Don't ship tires and use some rentals of Angus's. Get a bike box from Walmart and I bet most all of it will fit in there. Your buggy will be a nice
lowrider with the barrows on it.

She is back home! That's the first beach sand that buggy ever saw. As a matter of fact, its the last as well, since it didn't get beach time here in
California. Last beach ride was a farewell visit to see Angus before we moved West. As I think back, its first ride was on Jekyll Island since I
picked it up partially assembled at Angus' "kite lair" and drove straight over to an HQ demo day at the beach. Gotta get a pic with it sitting beside
Pokite's ride as well as tridudes bigfoot. No of course I'm not sentimental! :duh::duh::bigok:
