2012 is shaping up to be a spectacular year at Ivanpah Dry Lake.

NABX (North American Buggy eXpo) will be celebrating its 10th Anniversary – and the guys are pulling out all the stops to make it the best yet.

That, and the fact the Flexifoil will be celebrating their 40th anniversary at the event mean that if you’ve ever promised yourself you’d go, 2012 is the year to keep that promise.

Expect a challenging Out & Back trial, buggy racing for every level from complete novices to seasoned pros, buggy world speed record attempts, fantastic nightlife, and the friendliest crowd you could ever hope to meet.

You might even experience the transcendent feeling every kiter can describe, but very few people understand: AoxomoxoA.

It can best be described like this (not my words):

“If you fly stunt kites to win competitions, you won’t understand, but if you fly to give pleasure and entertain the audience, you might find AoxomoxoA

If tangled lines are an irritating frustration, you won’t understand, but if you find untangling relaxing and theraputic, you might find AoxomoxoA

If you buy rare and expensive kites and hang them on the wall, you won’t understand, but if risk hand-painted washi-paper kites in the elements, you might find AoxomoxoA

If you’re struggling to be the fastest buggier in the country, you won’t understand, but if you dream of buggying across dry lakes in the gentle zephers at 2am, you might find AoxomoxoA

If you build your own kites to save money, you won’t understand, but if you sew to try new ideas, you might find AoxomoxoA

If you wouldn’t lend your kite to a stranger, you wouldn’t understand, but if you’re ready to loose or destroy anything you fly, you might find AoxomoxoA

If you enjoy buzzing noisy stunters on the beach, you wouldn’t understand, but if you’ve found the pleasure of a simple, reliable single-line delta, you might find AoxomoxoA”

The tune is Phutureprimative’s “Rapid Cognition” from the album Kinetik; Dubstep at its best! You can buy the album here: http://phutureprimitive.com/online/Kinetik.html
