USA and Product Marketing Decal
Advertising
  • The Ultimate Sports Adventure is a Moving
    Billboard!
  • Studies conducted by the American Trucking
    Association reveal that our 25,000 mile tour
    across America will develop more than 10.9
    million impressions while driving and parked at
    sports events.
  • The same studies also show that 75 of the
    subjects develop an impression about a company
    from the sides of the vehicle, and 29 actually
    base a buying decisions based on those
    impressions.
  • Also, the RYP, which is the largest U.S.
    advertising agency for the leisure and travel
    industry, determined that
  • 96 of respondents notice the words and pictures
    displayed on trucks.
  • 98 of respondents say that fleet graphics
    create a positive image for the company.
  • 96 of respondents say that fleet graphics have
    more impact than billboards.
  • The USA RV is a visually stimulating and
    captivating vehicle. Wrapped in USA flag colors,
    our logo and sponsor messages, we will be sure to
    garner plenty of attention during our year long
    journey and create critical exposure for our
    sponsors.

USA and Product Marketing Radio Interviews
The Ultimate Sports Adventure is Great
Radio! USA estimates approximately 100 radio
appearances throughout the course of the trip.
Working with our publicist, our charitable
organization, and our sponsors, we will actively
pursue local talk radio appearances. Sports
Talk, Morning Drive Time, and Late Night are all
genres well suited to the USA story. We are
currently in negotiation with several large
market sports radio stations. Each radio station
will be featuring the USA on a regular basis. Our
estimate is based on a similar, less
comprehensive road trip. The guys from
www.thesportsroadtrip.com garnered national and
local radio coverage in 35 markets during their
tour. The guys from the MLB Baseball Odyssey
(2000), a 60 day tour of only baseball stadiums,
appeared on 15 radio sports talk shows during
their tour. As of 12/15/02, USA has already had
three radio appearances talking about USA. In
each interview, we successfully placed all of our
major sponsors. Tape available on request.

USA and Product Marketing Television
Appearances
The Ultimate Sports Adventure is Great TV! USA
will actively pursue television coverage
throughout our tour. We will contact local
television sports desks and invite them out for a
tour and interview. Our goal of raising 100,00
for charity will play well to a large audience.
On each appearance, our Sponsor logos and
messages will be visible on and in the USA
RV. Excellent fits for USA include ESPN Sports
Center, PTI, Best Damn Sport Show, the Man Show,
David Letterman, Conan, Monday Night Football, Up
Close, The Today Show, Good Morning America, and
many others. USA is in active discussion with
major broadcast and cable networks and has
commitment from an award-winning production
company should a major outlet want regular
coverage with professional big league
production. Coverage of the USA Tour is
guaranteed on a television show to air in
January, The World Poker Tour, in which Phil
Gordon won an invitation only tournament of the
best poker players in the world and 250,000.

USA and Product Marketing Personal
Interaction
The Ultimate Sports Adventure is Grass-Roots
Marketing! USA team members will be personally
interacting with people across America during the
tour via promotional displays and product demos
in front of the RV, tailgating events, parties at
local sports bars and other venues, and at the
events themselves. We will be meeting hundreds
of thousands of people throughout the tour,
giving each one of them a look at the Ultimate
Sports Adventure. We will be demonstrating and
giving away products, taking names for mailing
lists, holding raffles for our charity and
constantly spreading your message. Our personal
interaction with people will have great appeal
and a lasting marketing impression on everyone.
We are all about having fun, and the people we
come in contact with will want to be a part of
that fun. As a USA sponsor, you will be an
integral part of our grass roots message!

Ultimate Adventurers
Rafe Furst
Phil Gordon
As a die-hard Dodger and Laker fan growing up in
Los Angeles, Rafe suffered a crisis of football
faith when first the Rams and then the Raiders
abandoned their LA fans. Eventually he found
salvation in his alma mater, the Stanford
Cardinal, where he did his best to "earn" a
football scholarship the easy way by beating the
actual players in a weekly game of poker. After
earning an M.S. in Computer Science at Stanford,
Rafe spent several years doing research and
putting together multi-million dollar joint
ventures in Silicon Valley at Kestrel Institute.
Following his dream of weaving sports and
entrepreneurship, Rafe co-founded Pickem Sports
in 1997 to bring promotional sports contests to
the then-nascent World Wide Web. After selling
Pickem to Internet Sports Network, Rafe stayed on
for two years as the CTO before deciding to
embark on a travel odyssey through Europe, Africa
and South America, eventually leading up to the
Ultimate Sports Adventure. In addition to being a
fan, Rafe loves to play beach volleyball, golf,
paddle tennis, baseball, ski, snowboard, and is
game for just about any sport that looks fun to
him. As a life-long poker player, Rafe has
appeared on several national radio shows and in
print covering his exploits, including NPR
Radio's This American Life, Smithsonian Magazine,
and Card Player magazine.
Phil Gordon, is a true adventure enthusiast and
sports addict. After his network software company
was acquired by Cisco, Phil decided to hit the
road and see the world. In Africa, he has dived
with the Great White Sharks, summitted Mt.
Kilimanjaro, tracked gorillas in Uganda, and
rafted the Zambezi River. In South America he
built a balsa raft to float the Amazon River
Basin, trekked the Famous Inca trail, sailed
through the fiords of Patagonia and explored the
pristine wilderness of the Galapagos Islands. In
Australia, Phil covered 20,000 kilometers solo in
a Land Cruiser, dodging kangaroos and wallabies,
climbing Ayer's Rock, diving the Great Barrier
Reef, and judging a wet t-shirt competition in
the middle of the outback! Phil is a world-class
card player, having won a national championship
event in bridge, and taking 4th place in the 2000
World Series of Poker main event, claiming
400,000 in prize money and a celebrity spot on
the Travel Channel documentary. Phil has been
featured in articles in Yahoo! Internet Life,
Cigar Aficionado and Card Player magazines, as
well as NPR Radio's This American Life, national
broadcasts on Mojo Radio, and a classic
television episode of Blind Date! A National
Merit Scholarship finalist who began college at
15 (Georgia Tech, B.S. Computer Science, 1990),
Phil continues to set fire to the world of
professional poker, recently beating a slew of
world champions in an invitation-only event, soon
to be televised on the World Poker Tour.
