I am a huge fan of AlexT...PRECISELY BECAUSE he does stuff like this. Sure, he's a great sailor - but he brings a crap ton of great exposure to the sport by making it fun through ideas like these.
He's becoming the Travis Pastrana of sailing.
Go the Alex!
(I need a couple of those scrap sails.)
Eh, you're too easily amused in this age of one-upsmanship that occurs on the internet.I am a huge fan of AlexT...PRECISELY BECAUSE he does stuff like this. Sure, he's a great sailor - but he brings a crap ton of great exposure to the sport by making it fun through ideas like these.
It has to do with sailing in that stuff like this makes the sport exciting and cool to a new generation. That's good - no matter how you slice it.Eh, you're too easily amused in this age of one-upsmanship that occurs on the internet.
And I'm not sure what this has to do with sailing, or how it is "great exposure" that somehow benefits us recreational sailors.
I guess if it's entertaining, that's cool, but it seems kind of silly to me.
