Did I suddenly go colorblind? I can't see a difference between the two photos
So...moderators get first dibs on the first batch right Slap
Oh! Wait, I see the trim now! I thought it was going to be something in the design didn't realize there was welting around the edges!
Cool.....

hey slapp i have a question. i thought flags have to be red or orange. is this like the ASA flag the we have to run in conjuction with our regular flag. they are very nice, what would really be good is if we can get our board names on them. on the next batch is there anyway you can use a red background? just a thought. how much are they? do we have to find you and catch you to get one?

Sweet, I like it. Slappy what a good idea, the flags looks great.
I just showed it to the Pimp mobile and he wants one. Of course he wants the blue trimmed one. He says it will match his plastic.

Slappy, I want 2. One blue trimmed and one black. LOL My bike and Pebble's bike. I think it would be awesome to have our screen name on them, but I know that would be too hard.
Dan101, yes, you need to run that below your orange flag, according to BLM rules.

Those would also make great pillow cases

uh, We'll take a couple (of the flags) and request pillow cases.
Just think, you'd roll over in the middle of the night in July see that and be sportin a kickstand the rest of the night. Could even make the miss' a little happier too!!!

![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
..They are 11"X16"...but to get da jist of how big they be on da computer, the D in Dunes is da size of a quarter...
Well, they aren't quite ready for sale yet, cuz Slap is still looking for da clips he gonna use for attaching to the whip...We be looking right now. Anybody got an idea??? Slap really don't wanna use them metal ones dat always put a rip or hole in the flag...Slap be looking for something a little more slappified. Let Slap know if you gots any ideas...
Slap is gonna bust out another batch next week, but it will be with two different materials. THEN he gonna send the three samples to the Taco Tuesdays to get your opinion on what you all would like best.
Yep Dan101, as BamBam said, you gots to run them below da orange or red colored flag...BUT, Slap is gonna be bustin out some on red material soon...Slap just looooove da shiny white though...
And oooooohhhhhh yes, there will be a few at da Sand Sports Super Show...

Slappy, from the looks of it, you have the hole that the whip slide up into the flag to stay on the whip. The clips you're referring to, what are you talking about? If it's to keep it form sliding up and down the whip (hu, hu, I said "slide up and down the whip"), just use rubber o-rings about 1/4 wide. And to keep the flag from bunching up, figure our some way to sew a piece of plastic into the area that the whip slides into.

Well, da clips Slap be looking for are the ones dat keep the flag from sliding up and down and bunching up...

See, that's what I mean Slappy. Send 2 rubber "bushings" with the flag, like the ones on flags now, and put a piece of stiff, but not breakable, plastic in the seam where it's sewn together! It'll last forever and the flag won't tear. If that don't work, I'll be happy to duct tape everyones flag so it don't move or bunch up for $1.00 a flag.

the flags with the sleeve in em wont fit my whip anyway, caus it has a big ass rubber deal at the bottom, and a light bulb socket at the top. i just zip tie em on.

Hey Slappy, Are you planning on making any larger ones? Like truck size (3' x 4')? I bet several would be interested in those too. I like all three trim colors. Anxious to see the red one background one.
Hey, that private message, when you are on the board, click on your profile and you will see it. Then click on the subject of the message to read it. It shows as still unread on my profile.

Those are so cool, we will need a couple also. We have the same problem as Kevin, about the bulbs, trying to fix the flags over them. I would like Blue trim, since most of our stuff is blue.

What I've done in the past to attach a flag to a pole is to spray some adhesieve on the pole and then slide the flag over the adhesieve, press the flag to the pole and let it sit for a while.
you can get spray adhesieve from just about any hardware store.

Well, I don't mean to rub it in but sense I will be getting the very first flag after winning last nights riddle. I will be using zip ties to hook the flag to my whip.
I still can't believe that I won a riddle. Mr.Dune is doing a happy dance...
Yeah baby I got me a flag.

The GD.com flag is large! It's not HUGE like a big buggy flag but it IS 16" long and 11" tall. It's about as big as the monitor you are looking at right now. My monitor is exactly 16" across the top.
