OCTOBER 20TH, 21ST, &22nd


SORRY IF YOU CAN'T MAKE IT. BUT MY PLANS ARE AS FOLLOWS...

1. I'm leaving the 19th around 5pm...driving through the night.

2. I'm arriving at Alvord dry lake bed where I'll be camping through the 22nd.

3. I'll be leaving the lake the evening of the 22ND where I'll return to AIAK.

MY GOAL IS TO REACH SPEEDS OVER 75MPH...FULLY DOCUMENT IT.

SO: IF YOU'D LIKE TO JUMP ON THE SPONSOR BAND WAGON, PROVIDE A BUGGY OR HAVE OZONE BUILD A KITE WITH YOU LOGO ON IT...I GOTTA GET MY ORDER AND YOUR GRAPHIC IN ASAP!

I USE 3.4 AND 4.0 YAKUZA TO GET 65+ SO THAT WOULD BE THE TWO KITES I CAN HAVE PRODUCED WITH LOGOS, IF YOU BUY THE KITE WITH YOUR LOGO, YOU CAN KEEP THE KITE AFTER I FINISH THE JOB...

Yeah, it's because you turn back before I do in your blow kart....

I'm getting super anxious, just had 49mph winds come through today, and they are heading to Alvord later today...

WHO'S COMIN???
