C'mon people, let's get this rolling. I bet if any of the prizes were wind, you'd all be on it. The contest will be extended through January at any rate to give you all some more time and there may be even more prizes also!

Hey ollie and BAK users,A new user who's learning suggested that a "Beginner Guide/FAQ to Kiteboarding" might be a useful article if anyone's up to it...
I'd like to take on the suggested article. So unless someone already started it. I'd like to piss on it and claim it.
Ollie could you ask that beginner or pm me specific questions that person aksed or had?
Thanks,
Blair

Oliver,
You posted the contest on Skypilot (canadian website) - I sent in a review for the contest but I just noticed it is only open to U.S residents?
Is this the case...

skypilot, what country are you talking about?skypilot wrote:I hear ya! I know that I looked into shipping a prize to Africa and it cost more to ship then the prize was worth...
If I am fortunate to win a prize I would be happy to cover the shipping costs.
Later
Dan
P.S: I think you should open the contest to the whole world. Just add a note saying that people living outside of the US will have to pay shipping in case they win. Just a sugestion...
Bye
