I purchased my turn-key kit from Ebikekit. My battery is a Lithium Ion battery and is specific to my kit. My kit was pretty much plug and play, installed in 1.5 hrs. and was shipped as soon as I placed my order. I ordered the largest 36v lithium Ion battery and asked that they configure my kit for ...

My electric tricycle gets 25-30 miles between charges and with 4-6 hrs. to fully recharge. You most likely would be able find a kindly person that would allow you to plug into their generator for charges. However, at this late date and without heroic effort, I do not think that you would have the t...

I'm not so bad off that I need a wheelchair, just trying to figure out some kind of motorized option that isn't overly expensive and hopefully I could use off playa as well. I really with I could have a 2 stroke on a bike, that would be perfect, but I read that those are not permitted. Anyone know w...

I recently hurt my knee pretty bad and there is no way I could ride a bike around the playa for a week! I see 2 stroke motors on bikes is not permitted, electric motors only make it about 5 miles (just enough to get me stuck in deep playa) and I have no way to recharge it, I'm thinking about a goped...

I hope I'm just being impatient and have nothing to worry about, but... Last year I volunteered about a week to center camp cleanup and I didn't expect anything for it, but at the end of the work I was told I would be getting a free ticket for next year. They took my info and told me not to buy a ti...

There will be a costume contest to go along with the record attempt, contest for most creative superman costume, closest resemblance to superman (from the movies), and best home made costume.... And since there aren't too many events or happenings kids can participate in, lets add one more category ...

I love it! I'll put my superman outfit back on on the last day for a couple hours of moop collecting!

Be smart and choose your time and location wisely, you wouldn't walk down the street in your hometown smoking a joint would you? I guess that depends on where you live... Smoking in the deep playa where no one is around will probably be ok, but when you are in the middle of a bunch of people or camp...

When I tell people, most of the time they want to know all about it! I think I have unknowingly gotten a lot of new people interested just by talking about my experiences! My parents didn't know what to think when I went my first year, they are very conservative people, but their neighbors son had b...

All I can think of is wandering the deep playa and experiencing art in my birthday suit! I'm not typically a nudist, but burning man brings out "the best" in me! LOL... I'll spare my camp mates, but my junk will be waiving in the wind like a dusty testicle flag! I love the freedom on the playa! See ...

. We will meet at noon on burn day around the man... Break out the blue body suits and red capes! Spread the word, and tell your camp mates! Not meaning to yank your cape unnecessarily, but you will find that to be impossible on that time of the day. I know they fence off the man on burn day to pre...

Guinness guidelines for the world record... "The World Record attempt is open to men, women and children wearing a complete Superman costume consisting of a blue bodysuit, red cape, red trunks, red boots (or spats), yellow belt, and the famous red and yellow "S" logo on the chest. The costumes can e...

Going for a world record for the most people in one place dressed as superman, there will be a contest with some form of prize for most creative superman costume, closest resemblance to superman (from the movies), and best home made costume. We will meet at noon on burn day around the man... Break o...

Does anyone in LA have a recommendation for places they know of? I'm pretty sure printrunner.com is based out of LA but they are online only I think, and they have a minimum order of 500. Last year I made the "first man walked upright, then man burned 2009" evolution stickers, and the one I kept st...

most of the crazies I've met on the playa were just on lotsa drugs at the time... The only person I really got a bad vibe from was this weirdo who was obsessed with hanna montana, and he was in his late 30's. Clearly he was a pedophile, and after I realized that, I just told him I was supposed to me...

Thanks for the tips

I am thinking about offering stencils and boards to dome owners to make signs to hang in or around their dome, but I want to find something fairly durable that can last people a few years and also won't cost my camp too much to supply. I was thinking plywood or osb, any one have experience with any ...

I used printrunner.com last year and got them pretty cheap, but I had over 1,000 made! They weren't bumper sticker size though, so they were a little cheaper. But they had the best price I found online.

I keep it in a bag or under cover unless in use and have only used it in dust storms momentarily and then back to safe storage. This is the best advice you can get! No one told me my first year, and after 2 burns with no bag to protect the camera, it's crapped out on me! the lens won't open, and th...

Well, the costume regulations for Guinness are pretty strict, but even if we don't hit the record, it'll still be a fun gathering, there might even be a costume contest so it's not just show up, take a picture, and leave... But the details are still being worked out. We might do a contest for closes...

And to all you haters... If you don't like my idea, then lets see what you have to offer your fellow burners this year! Put up or shut up! At least I'm organizing some kind of event. I don't have money to build anything big, or open a bar, or even to make stickers this year, so besides on playa vol...

BTW, you do know that this year's "Metropolis" theme is mostly based on a really old black and white artsy silent film, NOT Superman's imaginary hometown...right ? I know the theme isn't based on superman, and I don't think it's really based on the movie either! There are so many young burners that...

Someone sent me a useful link on another thread and I got the details for breaking the record. This is what the people in Metropolis Illinois were held to when they set the record. "The World Record attempt is open to men, women and children wearing a complete Superman costume consisting of a blue b...

you stole my post subject line! I thought someone had replied, to my post, but actually, you just started a new one with the same subject line!

Dress as superman and be at the man at noon on burn day and I'll forgive you

See you in he dust!

Thanks for the resources, I'll look into all of that

Apparently Guinness is rather picky about what counts as a Superman costume: The World Record attempt is open to men, women and children wearing a complete Superman costume consisting of a blue bodysuit, red cape, red trunks, red boots (or spats), yellow belt, and the famous red and yellow "S" logo...

But I guess, even with paint, people still need capes.....

I was talking with a camp mate, and he suggested we bring body paint for anyone with out a costume who wants to be a part of the record attempt, so we might have some naked supermen out there!

After thinking about the theme this year, one thing kept coming to mind... SUPERMAN! The man of steel who protects Metropolis City! At high noon on burn day, around the man, we will attempt to break the world record for "The most people dressed as superman in one place"! The current record I believe...

Ok, so I'm thinking we meet around the man at noon on burn day. We may not get the record, because I bet most burners will get a little too creative or abstract and may not count towards the record, but it will be fun none the less... The record is for "most people dressed as superman", but I'm all ...
