sandahauler · 2010-08-05 18:56:30

Hey All,

If any of you are planning on being early or can show up early we REALLY NEED more volunteers to help with the staging and parking areas at Liberty Park and the Capital.

PLEASE HELP

I do plan on attending for the cause. PM me more info and I will try to give a hand if I can.

:shock: For those not here is a little article that will make you reconsider and get more involved with the land grab taking place.

Is there anyone besides brad777 and I planning on being there? It would be nice to be all together and possibly have a new sidexsideforum flag for the machines.

I'll see what I can do regarding getting you some flags...

It looks like California is not the only state to have idiot Politicians

They are nibbling away at Utah with a huge land grab secretly being done. It was leaked about a year ago from the feds and now of course it is the people against the government for access to land we all share. Everyone that enjoys the outdoors for recreation, mining or ranching needs to get involved with their state more than ever.Utah is growing more marijuana plantations than they have recreation spots anymore...wonder why?

Last year this was a good size event for happening on a weekday but this one will be a HUGE event on a Saturday hopefully. What makes it even better is the rally starts at a "tree hugger" hang out (liberty park) full of Subaru's and goes up to the capitol.

[b] BE THERE!

I'm trying to get some 12" x 18" flags made up in time for the event.

Can someone provide me with some close-up pictures of a flag mounted to a whip? I need to describe to the flag maker how the flag will connect to the whip. If you have other ideas for displaying the flags I'm up for suggestions. I can have just about anything made, but time is of the essence.

The flag just needs to have a standard fold sewn in on the side to fit over a 3/8 inch diameter poll. The full size flags that I want for the trailer would be set up just like a standard american flag would be.....

Also I hate to say this but the ATV flag may require a bright orange or red to be legal .

mbroyles · 2010-08-17 16:47:12

does the flag stay in place with some type of top and bottom grommet to keep it from sliding up and down? Is 3/8" the standard whip diameter?

Still, if anyone can post a few pictures I'd appreciate it. Pictures are worth a 1,000 words

I had a feeling the flag wouldn't be legal in some areas after doing some research but I think it would server its purpose in a parade. These will be a test to see how they turn out. If they look good I'll have more made. If not, back to the drawing board. Plus, you can ride with 2 flags, one legal and one SXS Forum one.

I'll ask about pricing for the larger flags as well.

The ones I have had ranged from 1/4 to 3/8 at the top of the poll. the bottom of the flag normally has a ruber gromit to keep the flag from sliping down the poll. The top has the same or a cap. Some have a Light or a LED. If the flag needs to come up from the bottom like some do the flag needs to have enough room to do that. so maybe the thickness of a sharpie would be enough plus a tad more. Also they should be made from lightwehigt but strong material like nylon. A heavy flag will be to much for the poll like I had found out in the past with mine. Also the standard poll will not support duel flags as well.....

I have a spair pismo flag I can take a picture of that I don't use anymore. My good flag is in the trailer that is covered up for the summer....

RANGERDALEXP · 2010-08-17 17:29:38

I found one that was required for pismo beach that I do not use. I forgot mine on that trip and had to pay Big dollars for it there to get on the beach. Anyway the poll is .250 just below the flag so I would think If it is set up for a 3/8 poll it should be good for anyone.....

Fasttrax · 2010-08-17 17:55:28

A 1/4 or 3/8 grommet is all that is needed. You could have the end sewn over to create a pocket for the pole and we could adhere the flag to a pole ourselves. We all have retired flags kicking around too.

Here are a few pics for you Mark. The third pic would be the most simple and cost effective I think.
