Default Giants Media BARRAGE! A Week To Remember!!

Article written by: Maxon Duncan

Oooooh BABY! Wait 'till ya see what we've got for ya this week! Soo much stuff, soo little space before this runs into a forum post, so let's get to it! First off, The FlyingGiants will be LIVE! from Triple Tree Aerodrome at the 2006 Don Lowe Master's! Our roving field reporters will be pumping back full daily event coverage as it all happens, beginning Wednesday! Webcast you ask? Bet on it later in the week. Not enough action for ya? How about 60.. That's right, 60 brand new excuses to not work this week! We have released exclusively to our members the lost 2006 XFC tapes, and will be throwing more DVD content up from this great event as the week goes by. All of course in the highest quality video that you have come to expect from the mind of Biff Sadler. Sweet! Well there's more, and drum roll please...... The FlyingGiants Viewer's Choice Video Contest is ready to roll! Later this week we will be releasing over 50 videos that have been submitted from members around the world that we've been hiding, and ooooh man, this one is gonna be a hoot! So there you have it! Welcome to the October FG Media BLITZ!!! Enjoy the show...

The 2006 Futaba XFC Lost DVD can be found on the Best of The Giants page. We've released 10 very large videos to start, and will be adding more as the week goes by.

The 2006 GSVC viewing / voting page will be posted later in the week. MAD PROPS! to all of our members who submitted videos for this. I've seen 'em, they kick ass, and they promise to please.

Thanks again to all of our members for supporting The Giants! It's been a heck of a year, and we still have a boat load of surprises right around the corner.

Guys, I have been sitting on a high speed connection all day. I have downloaded over a gig of videos. (It was nice to be able to get a sneak preview of what was coming) The XFC videos are the quality you have come to expect from the giants, interviews with pilots and judges, great flight routines.

The Members have been outstanding in the submissions to the FGVC. Outstanding footage, great editing, some humor, and more. You have to see to believe.

My hat is off to everyone involved in the content that is coming down the pike. As Max said, be prepared to spend some time watching. Turn off the TV (better yet send the Video signal from your computer to the TV), Grab your favorite beverage, and enjoy.

Just remember, that is what we call a Southern accent

We Yanks don't have an accent

This is going to be awesome!!! The content here is already off the hook, and it's only going up from here!!!

Thanks for all you have done already Max, you and Biff have created the best site on the web, and the more sweet stuff you add, the better it gets.

Hey Tank, it's awesome that you are taking on the Masters uploads, you the man, my friend.

I can't wait to check the site when I get back.

Martin.

Take it from a good friend of Mr Biffs and a fellow Kiwi. DO NOT MENTION THAT FUNNY WAY HE TALKS. You will pay dearly for such comments.

Ask me how I know. (not in public please as this is a pg13 site remember)
