Flying High - HG/PG Reality Show?
Posted: Mon Nov 15, 2010 1:22 pmI just got the following announcement via email, and I called the phone number to speak with Rodney Nelson. It sounds like he's trying to put together a reality type television show focussed on hang gliding and paragliding competition pilots sharing a house and competing for money. I haven't really formed an opinion about the project yet, so I'm just posting it here to spread the word in case anyone else is interested. Please feel free to post anything you find out about this project.
Thanks.
Thanks.

To whom it may concern,
I write you, as a fellow hang glide/paraglide enthusiast, to let you know of an opportunity that may interest your company. David Lyons of Lyons Entertainment is producing the world’s first reality competition show solely dedicated to the hang gliding and paragliding, currently titled FLYING HIGH. David Lyons’ Hog Heaven reality show is currently airing season 4, on Untamed Sports network, going into season 5. Mr. Lyons is currently partners with Pink Sneakers Productions, producers of the hits shows Hogan Knows Best, MTV Cribs and others, on a show he created and is executive producer. He works with producers from 3Ball Productions, Dick Clark Productions, Animal Planet and others and has just signed a deal to produce projects with Isaac Bolden, producer of the hit shows Miami Ink and LA Ink.
I, Rodney Nelson, show creator invite you to participate as a sponsor of the world’s first much anticipated and original reality competition show based solely on hang gliding and paragliding, Flying High.
For years hang gliding and paragliding has not received its just respect as a real sport and a great option for some adventurist family fun. Hang gliding and paragliding has been slightly under the radar until now! Its popularity has grown at an amazing rate. The interest, much deserved respect and popularity of hang gliding and paragliding will continue to grow that much greater with the reality show Flying High.
Most people, at one time or another, have wondered what it would be like to fly. Hang gliding and paragliding is the absolute closest thing to flying. Flying High will take everyone on a breath taking journey as 10 of the world’s best men and women hang glide and paraglide pilots from across the world perform and compete. There will be challenges every day and eliminations every episode. The winner of the competition receives the 100k grand prize.
The reality of television is that there has never been a show in history solely dedicated to hang gliding or paragliding. It’s about time to showcase this amazing sport with some of the worlds best hang glide and paraglide pilots at the reigns as they compete and represent to their best abilities at the highest level. With your support of sponsorship we feel confident we can achieve our goal of $1.25 million to complete production of one 10 episode season of Flying High
.
All sponsorship will be executed for the production of one full season of Flying High.
Below are 3 descriptions of the various sponsorship opportunities and benefits.
1. 250k+ sponsors will be headlined with “Sponsored By” credits will appear through product placement periodically throughout each episode
2. 100k+ sponsors will appear through product placement once each episode.
3. Other level sponsors will appear through product placement periodically throughout specifically assigned episodes.
As a sponsor your company will benefit tremendously by increased name recognition and goodwill. The sponsorship package offers exposure that can be more directly targeted, more effective, and less costly than traditional advertising.
After you have had a chance to review the information enclosed, David Lyons and I will be available to answer any questions or custom design a sponsorship package to fit your needs.
I look forward to speaking with you within the week to follow-up. I look forward to your support in making the reality competition show “Flying High” a smashing success. Thank you for your consideration and have a great day!
Sincerely,
Rodney Nelson
