Giveaway Winners, Updates:
3 months agoFirst, personal/professional updates:
I just got back from Ireland yesterday. I went to Dublin to watch the (pathetic) FSU-GA Tech game with some special FSU alums - my wife, my brother, and my 86 year old dad (aka Thunderous Jim Reeves), who introduced the bill to mandate that UF and FSU play each other once a year when he was in the state house of reps in the 60s. We then hit Athlone, Galway, Killarney, Cork, and back to Dublin as part of a road trip for Lindsay's best friend, Megan, who turned 40 while we were there.
If you're curious, I almost always post pics from my personal trips on my personal IG: instagram.com/jjreevesii
I'm flying up to NH to see Sig next week and appear in a short for them about a limited edition MCX-LT that's about to drop. (I'm doing this for free, by the way - Sig is not paying me a cent).
End of September, I am going to Munich for Oktoberfest as a guest of one of my viewers, Markus. Lindsay will be with me. If you'll be there, email jjreevesii@gmail.com and I'll make sure we connect. I WILL be piss drunk though so you have been warned. I'm going to stop in Stuttgart to visit Porsche and hopefully film some content while I'm there.
October is a trip to Tokyo to cover car content for my personal channel. I'm going with my buddy Aaron from the Sambar and Land Cruiser videos. We are planning on turning out a lot of video.
November, I'm going to Austria to visit Steyr. More details on that later.
OK, with all that out of the way...
Beachmaster Update:
I'm getting a lot of questions about it (which is good!) - everything is going according to plan with Beachmasters, albeit a little slow. I may turn out the announcement video on Monday. Vang Comp is going to set up a launch page - that's all we are waiting on now. We should have a good idea as to when we can actually deliver when the sign up page launches. The guns are actually being made right now - this isn't some kickstarter bullshit. There's a good chance that if this goes well, Vang will let me tackle one more limited edition model.
Blue Force Gear Choco Chip Sling Winners!
I am utterly shocked that only about 200 people signed up for the sling giveaway, so the odds were really good for a winner. We have 7 unpadded slings without hardware and 3 of the expensive ones with QD swivels included (who gets which will be picked at random by Kelsey). The winners ARE:
