PKD team riders.(update)

bigkid - 18-5-2012 at 03:46 AM

As the title states, I am looking for 1 or more team riders for PKD.
Been thinking about this the last few days. lol
If you think you might be a qualified team rider person, let me know.
I won't require any tattoos, but that kind of attitude won't hurt.
Emails for now, then the phone call will commence with the ones who qualify.

I know one to, haha

I am encouraged by the interest so far, I would like to make a decision in a couple of weeks.
So if you have any interest, you need to move on it.

wow ...... good luck for any one applying ... WELDNGOD is a best PKD brother you can wish for ......

u2u sent.

well they dont fly other companys kites for one thing:wow:

Well for me and PKD,....They are a rep for PKD, they fly PKD kites, and they educated the kite world to the great products of PKD, in what they say, do, and know. They are also able to fly different kites to compare and evaluate the other companys.

How about a part time rider? :dunno:

depends on what part :wink2:
I would be happy to entertain any suggestions, might laugh at them but would entertain them. HaHa

I seem to have swung to PKD for my fixed bridle collection but there's no way I could give up the others. Besides....wouldn't garner a lot of exposure here from my limited outings here. I wish......maybe one day.

Lucky rider whoever they are. PKD is a fantastic product.

PKD have anything for the snow? I might go with a winter rider, and Macboy...lol

Mmmmmmmmmmaybe.

macboy - 27-5-2012 at 08:40 PM

I hear either a new model coming (or someone hoping I'll stop flying the FSers and my trusty Ozones....).

Mmmmmmmmmmaybe U2U me. Pretty sure I'm not a good candidate but you never know. I really think you need someone with a season longer that......what was it again......oh yeah....ONE day.

Of course we did get out n about. Sylvan, Spray, D around Drayton/Buck.......

bigkid - 28-5-2012 at 04:19 AM

macboy, email me.

nocando - 29-5-2012 at 12:33 PM

Tis a pity your arms dont stretch across the big pond

otherwise I would apply


:bigok::bigok::bigok:

kiteboyza - 31-5-2012 at 08:34 PM

I had about 30 snowdays this year with my kites. Mainly a PL guerilla 18, me and Macboy would make a good team in Alberta.

After riding with Mr Sandflea all week, there is no keaner kiter that puts in the hours, grew amazing kite skills in the last few months since I saw him in September and would be my top pick for a all round nice guy, sponsored rider. I know he is to modest to ask...give him a shot. He seems to be in every picture I took :thumbup: Grab him before someone else does, he would shred on some Centurys

just my two sense

MDK - 31-5-2012 at 09:11 PM

I met Chris (Sandflea) today, Great Guy! ran right over to greet me as I pulled up! very helpful too (him and dodd both)since it was my first time on the beach.

rocfighter - 4-6-2012 at 05:17 PM

MDK ask Dodd to call Me. I have Question for him.

bigkid - 4-6-2012 at 08:40 PM

This is the last week, er I should say the last day to send me your desire in on the 8th of June 2012.
The response has been overwhelming, in a good way. My wife told me to make everyone who responded a team rider. hahahahahahahahahaha I don't think there would be anyone left that wasn't one.

I have looked over a lot of emails and it looks like 1 or 2 might not be enough, may need to up it to 4 or more team riders. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, must keep focused, still thinking about the great weekend at SOBB.

pyro22487 - 5-6-2012 at 11:21 AM

Oh I know he probably didn't put his name in but RTZ he has a great passion for this sport and has really taken off with it.

bigkid - 13-6-2012 at 07:52 AM

This was one of the tougher jobs I have had to do lately.
With the help of PKD, I would like to say thanks to everyone who was interested in the spots of Team Rider for PKD. All of you made it hard to choose. Next year will be here soon enough to try again.
We have chosen 2 people at this time, and I would like to let you know who they are.
sunset-Jim, and MDK. We are not done yet, so there may be more to come.

Welcome Jimmy and Mike :bigok:

RonH - 13-6-2012 at 08:27 AM

Way to go Jimmy & Mike:wee:

fletcht - 13-6-2012 at 09:35 AM

keep your kites locked up, they were both drooling at the thought of getting new ones, I could see the drool stains on their emails.:smilegrin:

popeyethewelder - 13-6-2012 at 12:03 PM

Congratulations Mike and Jimmy, PKD are great kites for sure, and I would have sent a request in for sure had I been state side and not under the HQ banner

WELDNGOD - 13-6-2012 at 01:25 PM

That's the rumour :)

Bladerunner - 13-6-2012 at 04:37 PM

Way to go Fellas !

It is good to see that PKD is back and stronger than ever. Some of the best kites out there.

Congrat's Mike and Jim.

MDK - 13-6-2012 at 05:04 PM

So I sent Jeff an e-mail jokingly asking if you need more than 5 hours in a buggy to qualify for Team Rider :), I honestly didn’t think I would have a chance. I am honored that Jeff saw something in me and trusts me to represent him and PKD. I am excited to upgrade my buggy engines and look forward to my new adventure! Congrats to sunset-Jim, he is a class act and very deserving:)

cheezycheese - 13-6-2012 at 05:11 PM

MDK go straight to the head of the class !! A Popeye buggy and Team sponsorship in the first year.... Congrats to you and Sunset Jim... :wee:
