Win a copy of "Skier vs Skier", Slash, Edged In Water 1 & 2, Gifted, Slalom w/ Mapple & Evolve

[Horton]

So I was clearing out my office last weekend and found a STACK of ski DVDs. In honor of the official rum of BallOfSpray, Kilo Kai ,you have to purchase a bottle of rum and take a photo for a chance to win all of them.

 

 

So here are the rules - Post a photo of a bottle of a Kilo Kai with some ski related background. Extra credit for a picture of you on a freezing lake with a bottle of Kilo Kai. Double extra credit is a photo also posted to instagram with the hash tag #BallOfSpray. Quadruple extra credit for a picture of a bikini clad co-ed drinking Kilo Kai on a frozen ski lake (this is for @ShaneH).

 

As soon as there are at least 10 entries I will award a winner in the most magnanimous and random way possible. It could be winner take all unless a number of you really put in some effort.

 

So what the hell is Kilo Kai?

 

Kilo Kai Spiced Rum is spiced rum blended with the unique flavors and scents of the Caribbean. The complexity arises in the flavors of anise, vanilla, banana, cherry, nutmeg and orange peels that linger harmoniously on the palate. Kilo Kai is crafted with 1-year-old and 3-year-old rums for a smooth blend that delicately balances the integrity of both the rum and the spices. Kilo Kai is the perfect rum for aficionados and novices alike because its complexity and unique blend of flavors allows it to be mixed in a favorite cocktail or enjoyed straight. Kilo Kai is premium spiced rum designed with the insight of bartenders and aficionados, and crafted by a third generation Master Blender.

 

Imagine Capt Morgan but much better.

FYI - if you are a dork and can not think of what to do with a bottle of spiced rum I can not help you.

[Horton]

@Rico it is January. Nothing happens fast. If all else fails try BevMo

[KeownFILMS]

I can send you a copy of 43@43 to round out the collection.

[Horton]

@KeownFILMS Awesome!

[estrom]

1. Kilo Kai must have really made a nice contribution to BOS

2. You may as well send them to ShaneH because he has the...uh..."resources" to win this contest by a large margin

 

[Horton]

@estrom

Any company from outside the sport that is looking to do business in the sport should be given the VIP treatment. You can expect to see Kilo Kai banners on BallOfSpray soon.

[FrankS]

What if im under age?

[ForrestGump]

Gotta see where I can buy Kilo Kai .

[Horton]

@FrankS I can not encourage underage drinking but would encourage you to get a college age girlfriend.

[MattP]

@FrankS I can't believe I am going to say this but @Horton is right.

 

@Horton is Kilo Kai usually available in most package stores or do you have to special order it?

[Horton]

@MattP I get it mail order from BevMo but in some states you can find it on shelf.

[Skoot1123]

I'm not a rum connoisseur or much of a drinker - but I will look this up. You just gotta support BOS!

[Horton]

@Skoot1123 thanks. I drink it on the rocks but the ladies like fruity rum drinks.

[Andy]

Another reason to go to the liquor store...this is truly a great site!

[Horton]

@Andy Haaaa that is awesome. I just changed my signature to that.

[BraceMaker]

Bottle Acquired, thanks to Brad @ ! brands.

[Horton]

@BraceMaker glass + ice + swirl + sip

 

Don't forget to take a photo for the contest or you will need a second bottle

[BraceMaker]

That is a real risk with my combined affinity for ginger beer and spiced rum. And lack of photograpical integrity.

[Horton]

@BraceMaker "photograpical integrity" ?

[BraceMaker]

Don't start a fletching debate over my linguistic depravity.

[estrom]

@Horton, I'm not really a rum fan, but props to them for getting involved in the sport. Now if you could just get Mendocino Brewing Co. or Lagunitas to support the site/sport, then you would have my financial backing!

 

[Horton]

@estrom can you work on that for me?

[estrom]

@Horton, sure, I'll throw some stuff up against the wall and see if it sticks. Can't hurt to try.

for anyone who can't make it to a liquor store

"from my cold dead hands." (I couldn't figure out how to get the sideways photo corrected. Maybe Horton or someone can do it. Thanks)

[RichardDoane]

[bogboy]

Thanks Richard.

[Horton]

@bogboy the rules state "Post a photo of a bottle of a Kilo Kai" that is not Kilo Kai

Ya, I thought you wouldn't notice.

[BraceMaker]

May have to update once I find some frozen water.

[Skoot1123]

@bracemaker - very nice effect with the picture there!

[Horton]

@BraceMaker I do not see any water ski anything in that photo but for now you are in the lead.

[Horton]

wait.... are those skis leaning on the table?

[BraceMaker]

Yessir - Including a Trick Ski for flavor.

 

You're seeing the bottoms of slaloms and the top of my trick.

 

I may be able to do better, but my camera's battery was dead flat, so I just used my cell phone.

[Andy]

Manti's girl ( smokin' hot) and I waiting for the ice to leave.

[Andy]

Take 2. Puts me out of the running I know...technologically challenged.

[Horton]

@Andy

 

Fixed

[estrom]

lol @Andy - that's awesome.

[Andy]

@horton, thx for fixing the sideways pic. The real challenge would be to fix the way I ski.

[Texas6]

@Andy, I like that its already half empty

[Horton]

I know that there are some photos brewing out there. Lets see them.

[MattP]

I will try to take some this weekend.

[BraceMaker]

Another new Kilo Kocktail was invented. The Kilorchata - as the name implies this is a horchata purchased from a mexican burrito peddler sipped for volume, then topped off and stirred.

 

Serve with a Steak Burrito and Spicy Carrot slices hot enough to melt the ice off the lake.

 

And tastes like 15 off.

[Horton]

Looking for some more entries..

[Horton]

@Rico

You will need a picture with ski gear or at the lake to be in the contest but if you show me the sales receipt this weekend for all that Kilo Kia - I will buy you dinner at Jacalito or at least lunch at La Mina.

[MattP]

It's going to be 70° here Wednesday. I'm looking at doing a photoshoot at the lake. College Rocks.

[BraceMaker]

@MattP - After sanctioned practice wraps up yes?

[MattP]

@BraceMaker well of course. Safety is always my first priority, team safety officer, usaws safety official, rowing safety as well.. but alas the boat is not in the water at current time.
