Yes, it's that exact sword handle shifter that Tripod posted. Once I saw it, I had to have it! I'm praying one day to get blessed by @Painter and get a red dragon painted down the side of my sling some day.... I mean what else would a ninja ride except for a dragon!!

I think you kinda have to prove that your organized enough and united enough to bring in large numbers of Slingshots, before you can start planning multi-day events. Need to prove to the sponsors and vendors that you can bring in enough potential customers... Start with small single day events, build your following and numbers... Obviously I'm sure you guys have a ton of slings in Cali, it's just finding the right people to pull them all together, and creating a fun, organized event that makes people want to come back for more. For our Slingin in the Sun event, I created a project plan for the whole thing... I can share that with you if you would like.

James McRae aka Jimmy Da Plug is the SSTAKEOVER man... BUT he is way over on the East Coast... It takes a lot of effort and organization to plan large events, so you just need to find your local folks who can get it done, and just start planning your own event...
Here in Houston we had the same thoughts, "lets get them to do a SSTAKEOVER here in Houston...", then we were like, "well, can we just do it ourselves?" And then Sling Life was born. And all was good in the world.

Yikes! What about angle drive? Swingarm? Got your plugs @Storm? Since I think we did the recall at the same dealer, you might not... That's a lot of sand in the swingarm?... Might seriously think about having Sling inspected or washed out! Double yikes! But I'm a worry wart...
Where did you get yours done, Mancuso North? Thats where I got mine... I'm gonna be so pissed if my plugs were missing during all that playing in the dirt... Maybe I can get Daniel at Mancuso Gulf to hook me up with another new swing arm if that's the case...

Yeah we had 2 drones that day, one Mavic and one Phantom 3. The Mavic was fast and nimble, Phantom had slightly better quality camera. We had like 5 different camera angles going on the sand donuts, I might put together a video just on that. And man I hope my grommets are installed!! I don't have my sling right now to check... that will suck if not...

Yeah I'm still finding sand in places, actually I doubt I will ever get rid of it all.... I might be regretting the sand moves for a while... but damn was it fun... Funny story, after all those sand donuts, the group took off down the Seawall again, but my rear end started vibrating really bad (ahem, bring on the punchlines)... whole sling was shaking over 30 mph. Thought I really broke something. Had to pull over and found I had a ton of sand in my rear wheel making it unbalanced. Pulled out sand by the handful.

@Storm
You stuff is top notch!
I really like every aspect of the designsThank you so much for the kind words!
-
sign me up!
Winner right here. I'm watching... I want to play... but already have like 3 designs of my own that I need to finalize and sell on my site... I designed the Sling Hard / Sling Life shirts that are going around here in Houston. It's hard to get the ideas from your head into the computer, unless you got mad graphic skillz. I'm still learning myself. Looks like you guys are on a roll with some great ideas and are doing just fine! I'll buy one when they're ready...

There's a guy here in Houston who has a horn that sounds like a big rig 18-wheeler! LOUD!
Yeah I think he has a train horn installed. That @$#%@$@ hit it while I was leaning over looking under his hood. Hearing was jacked up for a good 5 minutes.
-
I'm down for vents... Either the ones @mniron has, or new ones @Ruptured Duck and @WraithSS will be working on... Either way, options are great... Will be waiting...
For gently used!
Just kidding, not kidding...
No, seriously, certain things I buy new... I'd buy these things new...
I want these... just can't see myself cutting through my own hood though... Maybe if there was a really good video.... but still.... ugh.... maybe if we drum up enough interest in Houston MiM we could make it worth someones time to come on down and hook us up...
