About the NABX

NABX Annual Kite-Powered Buggy eXpo


Since 1994, kite buggiers, skaters and landboarders have gathered on Ivanpah Dry Lake Nevada for a week of kite-powered buggying and racing. The event was known as the Spring Break Buggy Blast (SBBB) and introduced formulated kite traction races to the American desert.

In 2004, a new organizing team changed the name to reflect the more international aspect of this event as well as to promote a more global culture and help foster a community of cooperation among kite buggiers from around the world. Now entitled the North American Buggy eXpo (NABX), this proud, environmentally conscious event plans to combine an abundance of fun while putting an emphasis on sharing knowledge, encouraging education, and supporting the kite traction movement.

The Future of NABX


The NABX plans to preserve the best elements of this long standing desert event while continually adding new exciting features. An inspired mixture of growth and tradition is projected for this groundbreaking event including new races, impressive drawings/raffles and a gourmet banquet under the desert stars.

NABX 2010 One hundred and eighty four years ago, George Pocock invented the kite buggy.  Twenty years ago, Peter Lynn took it to the next level.  Since then the development has been almost exponential.  

Come join  us in a celebration of Aeropleustic Art the likes of which have not been seen on this planet.  Guests include Peter Lynn the father of the modern Kite Buggy and as many of the movers and shakers of this wonderful sport we call Kite Traction as  we can gather.

So if you are a beginner or avid kite traction enthusiast, motivated sports spectator, intrigued journalist or interested sponsor, come join us in the open desert for a fun-packed, high speed, kite powered adventure.

Aoxomoxoa, we have all felt it. Whether we fly stunts, fighters, traction, or anything else our childish community of peter-pans has devised to put into the sky. It is that divine feeling, or transcendence that one feels at any age. Pure unaltered bliss that you can only know when you fly simply...
