Win a *FREE* Skyaak UltraGlow!

*FREE* SKYAAK ULTRAGLOW CONTEST

This is the real deal, folks! Last night I noticed that the visitor counter here was quickly approaching 5000. I made a mental note that this was kinda cool. Then I thought, why not offer the latest, greatest Skyaak model ( the amazing new Skyaak UltraGlow! ) as a *FREE* prize to visitor # 5001? It's a nice milestone, no?

The problem is, early this morning I went ahead to post this idea to make it official and discovered that the visitor count had zoomed right past 5000 and now it's 5033. Oops!

One thing I can say for sure is that I WAS NOT visitor #5001. Another certainty is that someone out there WAS. SO...here's what we'll do. All YOU have to do is pop me a note and tell me that you were indeed visitor # 5001. Convince me. Then we will happily pack up a Skyaak UltraGlow and send it to you absolutely *FREE*, shipped *FREE* anywhere on Earth.

This IS NOT A HOAX or an EVIL PLAN whatsoever. Simply our way of thanking our faithful readers. Or more specifically, ONE CERTAIN INDIVIDUAL who feels they were visitor #5001.

Furthermore, I had a meeting with some of my partners last night and we collectively decided that we are going to automatically qualify every visitor who trips the counter past even thousand increments for a *FREE* Skyaak UltraGlow unit, shipped to you *FREE* ! For example, visitor # 6001, # 7001, #8001, # 9001, # 10,001, etc.

THIS PRIZE OFFER WILL CONTINUE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE SO PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR VISITOR COUNTER. Simply COPY and PASTE ( right click on the visitor counter. Select 'copy'. Open up your e-mail new message. Click on the body of the letter. Press Ctrl with v. This action will paste the WINNING VISITOR COUNTER into your note.) Send this along with your contact info to us via e-mail and YOU WIN!

Look forward to hearing from you.

Skyaak UltraGlow Video here

I just stuck Dylan's new video that shows us a teaser of the Skyaak UltraGlow in our video links below. Fourth screen down. So you can see it now here. It is very very cool. Incredibly cool. I will be ALL OVER THIS in a couple of days when I get into the city. Congratulations to Dylan for pulling this latest innovation together at light speed R&D, pun intended!

Skyaak UltraGlow

I'm proud to personally introduce to you my latest glow innovation, hot off the press... the Skyaak UltraGlow!


This ultimate glow-in-the-dark Skyaak can be charged naturally by the power of the sun (or a powerful lightbulb), and then tossed around in the dark where it can be seen by all. With all throwing partners wearing a glow bracelet, it becomes trivial to aim the Skyaak where it needs to go, and the glow-in-the-dark material inside the shaft will identify the Skyaak's position in the air.

However, that's just the tip of the iceberg!

Switch on the dual UV LED feature, and all of a sudden the ENTIRE SKYAAK lights up vibrantly! The UV LEDs vigorously radiate light out from all directions, and the Skyaak is instantly transformed into a psychedelic uber-luminescent flying toy! This latest Skyaak UltraGlow is sure to turn heads!

It actually glows so brightly that it throws off enough green-luminescent light to light up an entire picnic table. In other words, it can now be used as a lamp and doubles as a rugged high-performance flying toy! How cool is that??

I have taken a short video of the Skyaak UltraGlow in action. Suffice to say, the camera doesn't even come close to doing it justice. I will try to get a better video up soon, so you can see this AMAZING glowing toy in it's true glory!

Stay tuned for your upcoming opportunity to order one of these amazing units!

Let 'er Rip!

Let 'er Rip! Max seems to be launching himself right off the ground. What an anti-gravity kinda guy. It's like you can visualize that in another second his feet'll be dangling. Yet another dynamic shot from our Ozzie buds.

This is one of the 1st photos sent to us from Australia. I really like this treatment of my good friend Brendan O'Keefe holding his Skyaak overlooking the Melbourne sky-line as shot by our intrepid vision-aire Max Milne. The panaramic effect is cool and the composition is very well-conceived. Looks kinda visionary...

P.S. Take a second and left-click on this image to see the original size. Note the extremely high quality of the photo. I will have to ask Max what kind of camera he uses.

Over Hill and Dale

This past weekend, my wife Sharon and I took a day trip down to Maple Creek, about a six-hour drive southwest of here. My eldest brother Doug had called a while ago to let us know that him and his wife Debbie were flying into Lethbridge, Alberta, for a family wedding and would we want to rendez-vous with them somewhere in between?

I picked Maple Creek because it is beautiful country, being snuggled right up to the famous Cyprus Hills and also because I have one of my big Historic Murals there. Thought it would be a good chance for my big brother to check out one of my major commissions.

The Mural at Maple Creek shown on the day of its ribbon-cutting ceremony- Nov 11th, 2005.

Well, we hooked up and had a grand time touring around. We ended up renting a self-contained cabin at Historic Fort Walsh for the night. Had a great visit over a lovingly hand-made salad ensemble and bar-b-qued Rib-Eye steak. Yum yum! We brought our little portable propane barbie and I picked out the steaks right in Maple Creek. After all, this is prime cattle country. They better have fabulous steaks in town.

We were NOT disappointed. It was mouth-watering. Prolly the best steak I ever ate. I showed Doug and Deb my latest Skyaak models. The one with the router-cut wings and also a Night-Lit version. Doug said he was very impressed. Quite a ‘complex invention’. He seemed a bit surprised that I have taken it so far. It actually is looking totally professional. I am pretty proud of the accomplishment, that’s for sure.

After our all-too-short but extremely enjoyable visit, Sharon and I parted company with Doug and Deb. They took off to drive back to Calgary where they were catching a flight back to Nova Scotia the following day. We started off on our long drive home.

On the way into Gull Lake, we decided on the spot to check out the humungous wind-power generators off on the distant horizon at the top of the slope to the south. I had a feeling that these things were a lot further away than they looked...the old optical illusion where you figure it will be just over the next rise and once you gain the crest, you realize that it is still way, way off.

Well, we got right into it and started basically chasing down a cluster of the things, over hill and dale...literally. I figured there had to be a service road out to the base of the giant wind-mills so we bombed around on the back roads until we finally found the right access road that lead right past a whole battalion of them. HUGE does not describe these things. I figure each of the three props is at least 120 feet long. So that would mean the post is likely over 360 feet high. Whoa! That’s big.

That is one BIG structure...the picture shows a wind-turbine probably a half-mile away.

I had it in my head that I wanted to pose at the base of one of them with a Skyaak. Just because I thought it would look cool. And because I imagine that someday the Skyaak will become energy self-sufficient ( read GREEN powered ) and also that it will have a three-prop power plant to push/pull it along through the air. Just a bit of futuristic imaginings. Don’t quote me on it!

At last! We got right up to the base and then retreated for this shot.

So it was a blast to finally stand right where I had visualized to pose with a Skyaak. Remember though, the whole thing was Sharon’s idea. We both thought that it would be a fun little adventure to chase down one of these engineering marvels. Must point out that I am very proud to be living here in Saskatchewan where we are pursuing the exciting possibility of moving away from total energy dependence on fossil fuels. Yay us!

Addicted 2 Skyaak

Gene recently flew out to Nova Scotia and had a stopover in Dundas, Ontario. He brought a Skyaak along with him and took it out to the streets of Dundas while he was there. He had brought a Night-Lit version with him and apparently it was a hit with a bunch of guys there that he ran into. According to Gene, he was basically mobbed a few minutes after he started chucking his Skyaak around with his nephew Tim.

Here's one of the photos Gene sent:

Left to Right: Taylor, Arthur, Cody, Alex, Ayden (behind Alex), Will, and Jake.

Here's a note that Jake, one of the eager participants, sent me shortly after:

Hello Michael, My name is Jake and I am emailing you because when one of your friends was in Dundas, Ontario, he showed my friends and I the Skyaak. We played with it on the street and got addicted quickly. Your friend, I believe, took pictures of me and my friends and we were told we would be on the website as an ad for the Skyaak. The names of my friends are as follows: Jake (me), Will, Taylor, Alex, Arthur, Cody and Ayden.

Thank you for allowing us to experience this new Flying Toy.

Regards-Jake
