TV Coverage for JIBE

acampbell - 25-3-2011 at 08:42 PM

Tim Deegan a (locally ) well known TV Weatherman for a Jacksonville NBC TV affiliate is going to bring a crew to cover JIBE.

We will put Adam / Flyjump front and center, then I could use some help getting tandem rigs together to offer some rides if they want.

The Jekyll Island Authority is going to forward my press release to the media, including Savannah TV stations (and they JIA really knows who to call)

Should be good coverage, which brings up another topic: Helmets on EVERYBODY

Adam will not look too pretty after NABX

he also needs a haircut ... oh wait Ill take care of that in Las Vegas after a few drinks when he's sleeping.

What I did to handle the helmet thing was asked them to ONLY show people on T.V. that are wearing one. Not all of our locals choose to and I am not out to say they have to.
Helmetless riders were welcome and the added sky colour was welcome but they wouldn't get their 15 seconds of fame without a lid.

Best wishes with the Press! I truly believe the more we get on T.V. the better it is for growing the sport ! Unfortunately it is when the Kiter Kevin's hit the news the good promo work gets trumped. It's important we are seen as organized and safe!
