Kite Buggying and endorsements


First of all I can't stress enough how happy I am to be back in the seat again after 7 years out of it. Getting back in was just like, Riding a bike!

Thanks to Don swords, I am glad I ran into you in WW man, one ride and I was, re-hooked!

I decided to stay riding for Skydog, afterall, I do design dual line for them so it makes sense and I like the traction kites.

I do not claim to be a great rider, racer or trick rider, I am not a jumper and wont be. But I will be attending 3-5 events this year plus a couple of international kite festivals.

I am looking for a buggy endorsement for racing and tricking and will be able to provide some exposure for your company starting at NABX.I can also assist in design, video and many aspects of buggy development and promotion of our sport.

Please contact me in private with your thoughts and Ideas of how we can be successful, and promote this great sport together!

Thanks you very much to Skydog, and to all of you guys too, you make this fun

Sincerely, Dodd Gross 717 515 2528

Thanks. After investigating what most "endorsements" really mean, a discount on product, i realized that I already had more than that from Skydog who sent me 2 traction kites as soon as I told the owner I was going to buggy again and another when I said I was going to DBBB. I could probably have gotten more, but they only make 3 sizes right now LOL So by definition, I am endorsed.

I was just lucky that the company i work with in dual line, had quad foils I like more than any other foil I had spent time with to date and I am a foil guy. I like the de powered kites too, a little rich for my blood right now and because I am old school, I personally prefer quad handles for buggying.

I will be a little more than an endorsed flier in this situation as it is turning out, and looking to expand our traction team with more riders and developing new products for traction but one thing we really need are buggies!

My buggies are over 10 years old and I don't trust em! Not for the speeds I plan on getting at NABX and the pre event.
We can go out and buy buggies and I will if I have to. but it would be great to align ourselves with a buggy manufacturer who could mutually benefit from our future exposure in this market. So shoot me a private email, let's talk!

Thanks, Sincerely Dodd doddg@skydogkites.com
