wHO's who and theme camps

We welcome anyone with a bike problem, large or small.  While we're happy to get our hands dirty fixing it ourselves, a key part of our mission is to get fellow burners involved in repairing their own bikes. We provide the resources – knowledge, tools and spare parts – and coach them through the repair process. A DIY area, with tools, spares and instructional materials, enables self-reliance during off-hours, and serves as a hub for informal burner-to-burner assistance.

This year the Pedaling Dreams bike repair camp will partner with Cranky & Sons, allowing us to expand our hours of operation.

Returning to EBB and Glow, this swanky performance space holds a piano that anyone can play, plus various acoustic and electric instruments for spontaneous open mic jams and scheduled bands. It has a beautiful bar made of actual pianos, with classy customs pulls & cold craft brews. We host events nightly: theme nights, stand-up comedy, sing-alongs, song circles.

This year we are bringing an enlarged Skydeck viewing platform 9 feet in the air.  Climb up for a higher perspective for morning yoga, to watch the sunset, or to enjoy drinks from the Animal Farm Lounge while accompanied by beautiful music. A great place to watch the Man burn.

Our Onewheel boot camp helps intrepid burners get a first fun experience on a Onewheel, teaching them how to ride safely.  This year we will expand the fleet of Onewheels and will add electric unicycles to the training program.  Our park includes a technical parkour, open anytime to more daring and skilled Onewheel and bike riders.  We are again organizing a Playa-wide Onewheel/unicycle group ride to Deep Playa, and are organizing the first ever Playa Onewheel Rumble/jousting competition.  We hope to bring the first Onewheel repair workshop to the playa.
