Coke is pairing with eclipse to promote the launch of their new Full Throttle uncarbonated energy drink. Whenever there is a promo, a promo company is hired to send staff to work the event and pass out t-shirts, the product, etc. The promo company hired all the girls and guys in the picture that you don't know (other than Chris Cousins if you don't know him) and eclipse invited their riders as well as guests.

If you're insinuating that they are using these girls to sell the brands? As a woman I can tell you that there is a big difference between someone in a sports bra and skirt at an event where there are ladies in tiny bikinis playing sand volleyball, from an ad in a magazine that is 70% of a girl's ass in a tiny black bikini with a small picture of a kiter in the background.

Just my two cents.

Chris was a very nice guy and it was interesting to discuss his efforts in forming an association in his area. He was saying that there wasn't really that much interest until 3 or 4 of their spots were banned, and a local kiter died. After that, the locals finally saw a reason for a unified approach to protecting their launches and quit their pointless heckling.
I would like to say congratulations to Josh Taylor, Oliver Berlic, and Linda for getting sponsored by Eclipse, and thanks Toby Wilson for helping make this happen.
I had a great time with kiter-friends, demo'ed a few cans of Full Throttle, and scored a free shirt.

Thanks Chris,Coca-Cola, and the scantily clad FULL THROTTLE GIRLS!!!
What an Awesome day!
Gotta run, I'm going to buy some full throttle

Josh, I hate to tell you, but shortly after you guys left, okay, maybe not until 615 or so...it started blowing. Got on the 12M Thruster for the first time. Had blast, but got overpowered at the end. The kite was great, and it looked great in the air. Of course, some may think I am now biased because I am sponsored by Eclipse for this promotion, but I was truly impressed. Wish I had brought my 8M down with me. Oh well. Hope you get yours soon. You will like them alot!! Have fun tomorrow, I have to head back to P.C. Be sure to pass out more toys and kiddie drinks!! LOL
