BECKLEY MEDIA, LLC.’s RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS,

PAGE 1

I. INTRODUCTION

Beckley Media, LLC would like to thank the City of Twin Falls for the opportunity to

submit this response to the City’s Request for Qualifications concerning a proposed jump of the

Snake River Canyon to occur in September of 2014. It is Beckley Media’s sincere desire to

organize, in full cooperation and partnership with the City and other concerned agencies, an

event that the community, and all parties involved, can be proud of. To that end, Beckley Media

wants to make very clear at the outset that it has no intentions of staging a festival or any kind of

extended event that would place any undue strain on either the local economy or the

community’s hospitality.

Following the auction for the State lease of the proposed landing site, Beckley Media

representatives have had communications with City representatives that Applicant believes have

been productive and have provided a far better understanding of the City’s perspective and

concerns for the community. Beckley Media has absolutely no desire to engage in an event that

will have negative consequences for the Twin Falls community, and has even less desire to

recreate history in that regard.

Beckley Media does believe, however, that its proposed event represents an incredible

opportunity to all involved, including the City of Twin Falls and the surrounding community, to

include, among other things, a safe, positive and lasting impact on the local economy.

II. RESPONSIVE INFORMATION

Beckley Media, LLC and its team possess the desire, experience and know-how to

produce a safe and profitable event. The specific areas of inquiry from the Request for

Qualifications issued October 8, 2013, are addressed as follows:

BECKLEY MEDIA, LLC.’s RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS,

A. A detailed description of the “event”:

At present, the proposed event will consist solely of a rocket-assisted motorcycle jump of

the Snake River Canyon on the site of the failed attempt by Evel Knievel in 1974. Applicant has

no plans to hold a festival or other activities in conjunction with the proposed jump, and will

only expand its present plans in cooperation with, and with the full participation and agreement

of, the City of Twin Falls and other concerned agencies.

Specifically, Applicant proposes to stage and promote a jump of the Snake River Canyon

in a true reusable rocket-boosted motorcycle, piloted and ridden by its principal, Ed Beckley.

Under Applicant’s vision, Mr. Beckley will not be strapped to a “non man rated,” rail-guided

missile that merely has wheels added to it; rather, he will ride a rocket-assisted motorcycle that is

fully capable of being ridden as an ordinary motorcycle, with wheel driven propulsion and

steering.

The proposed sequence of events for the jump is as follows:

• After receiving the okay signal from his launch safety officer, the rider

will warm up the bike’s piston engine and tires, and commence a high powered

acceleration toward the ramp, using only the piston engine.

• The pilot will enter the ramp at between 150-160 miles per hour, at which

point he will ignite the solid rocket booster on the jump bike. The pilot will

continue to accelerate quickly as he climbs the contoured ramp, and will exit the

ramp at a speed of approximately 240 miles per hour.

• Once the pilot exits the ramp, the vehicle will quickly become

aerodynamically stabilized in flight.

• The vehicle will travel across the canyon relatively quickly, and reach

peak altitude at the far rim. At that point, the rocket’s thrust will drop to zero, and

the bike and rider will continue coasting higher and farther.

• Parachutes will deploy from the vehicle, the vehicle wheels will be

pneumatically extended to absorb landing impact, and the vehicle will safely land,

remaining totally drivable.

The proposed event, if approved, will occur at some point prior to December 31, 2014,

and ideally on September 8, 2014, the 40th anniversary of the infamous attempt to jump the

Snake River Canyon, in the same location, by the late Evel Knievel.

As indicated, Mr. Beckley himself will pilot the jump vehicle; however, a fully trained

backup rider will be ready to perform the stunt should Mr. Beckley become unable to do so for

any reason. Similarly, Applicant plans to construct a duplicate jump vehicle to be ready should

some mechanical problem interfere with the operation of the first vehicle.

Applicant intends the design and construction of the jump motorcycle and ramp structure

to be undertaken by AeroVisions, Inc. For more detailed information developed by AeroVisions,

Inc. concerning the jump vehicle, the method of launch, the method of landing, safety,

probability of success, as well as details on the physical layout of the proposed jump site and

biographical information on the AeroVisions, Inc. engineering team, please see Exhibit 1

attached hereto. Biographical information for Ed Beckley is attached as Exhibit 2. Biographical

information for Curt Winter of BTR Moto (who will be involved in the fabrication of the jump

bikes) is attached as Exhibit 3.

B. The proposed location(s) of the event:

The proposed motorcycle jump will commence from the site of the Evel Knievel attempt

that has been annexed and is now part of the City of Twin Falls.

C. A detailed description of any use of land within the City limits or owned by

the City of Twin Falls:

D. A detailed description of the vehicle, the method of launching and landing

the vehicle, and all information regarding the safety and probability of

success of the jump:

Please see the materials attached hereto as Exhibit 1.

E. A description of all components to be used in promoting and conducting the

event:

Ed Beckley is the majority member of the Applicant, Beckley Media, LLC. Mr. Beckley

has tremendous experience in promoting and producing live motor sports events through his

other company, Checkered Flag Productions, which produces and promotes monster truck shows

in venues throughout the country. In fact, as established by the letters of reference attached as

Exhibit 4, Mr. Beckley, his skills as a promoter and producer of motor sports events, and his

extraordinary character, are highly regarded by government officials and venue managers who

have dealt with him throughout the country.

Mr. Beckley started producing monster truck shows in approximately 1987, and started

with seventeen (17) event nights per year. The business has grown and Checkered Flag

Productions now has nearly ninety (90) event nights per year. The business is made up almost

entirely of ticketed motorsport events; however, Checkered Flag Productions has also produced

and promoted concerts and rodeos. It operated the Dodge City Raceway Park, a $7.2 million dirt

race track, under a three (3) year management contract. In his second year of operating the track,

Ed Beckley was awarded the 2009 World of Outlaw Sprint Car Promoter of the Year Award, and

the track was awarded the World of Outlaw Track of the Year Award.

Mr. Beckley first became involved in promotion through his work as a motorcycle stunt

man, and he gained national publicity by promoting himself as “Big Ed Beckley,” the “world’s

largest motorcycle jumper.” For nearly fifteen (15) years, Ed traveled the nation, performing at

BECKLEY MEDIA, LLC.’s RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS,

PAGE 5

race tracks and drag strips. He has performed over 1,400 ramp-to-ramp motorcycle jumps at

such places as the Silverdome, Superdome, LA Coliseum, BC Place, Metro Dome, King Dome,

Busch Stadium, 3 Rivers Stadium, and Madison Square Garden. Ed’s exploits have put him on

national television, first with the television show Real People, then NBC National News, CBS

Wide World of Sports, the Jay Leno Show, and most recently, on Fox Television specials on the

World’s Greatest Stuntmen.

Ed Beckley, through Checkered Flag Productions, produces and promotes complete

events, including all pre-event promotions. His shows are held in major and mid-sized cities

across the country, and Checkered Flag Productions boasts a count of approximately 35 major

sponsors supporting its shows. Through his work as a stunt man and promoter, Ed Beckley has

worked with some of the top promoters and entertainers in the motorsports industry. Ed has also

worked as stunt coordinator for the world famous Buffalo Chip campground at the annual

motorcycle rally in Sturgis, South Dakota.

F. A detailed description of anticipated traffic control:

At present, with negotiations still underway with several major media outlets and, more

importantly, with the City’s own goals and desires relative to what the proposed event should

look like yet to be expressed to the Applicant, the number of live spectators and other attendees

cannot be determined. Notwithstanding that fact, Beckley Media has consulted with and

engaged the services of Patrick Dobie, PE, a respected traffic engineer. A copy of Mr. Dobie’s

curriculum vitae is attached as Exhibit 5. Once realistic numbers of expected attendees can be

reasonably determined, Mr. Dobie will prepare an analysis of the impact on traffic and local

BECKLEY MEDIA, LLC.’s RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS,

PAGE 6

infrastructure. That analysis will identify likely problems and offer suggestions and options for

their alleviation or elimination.

G. A detailed description of anticipated law enforcement requirements:

Again, with the number of live spectators and other attendees unable to be determined,

Applicant cannot yet provide a detailed description of anticipated law enforcement requirements.

Beckley Media will tailor its proposed event to be consistent with the desires of the City and

other agencies, and will fully cooperate with local law enforcement and fire prevention officials

in developing and implementing a comprehensive safety plan.

H. Any other proposed public safety issues:

Public safety issues stemming from the use of the jump vehicle itself are addressed in the

materials prepared by AeroVisions, Inc., appended hereto as Exhibit 1. Additional public safety

issues will be addressed by Applicant in its traffic impact study to be prepared by Mr. Dobie, the

analysis of safety concerns generated by Applicant’s event safety consultant(s), or consultants to

be engaged and/or utilized by any media partners that become involved in the production of the

event, and in full coordination and cooperation with local law enforcement and other local

governmental agencies.

As with impacts on traffic and other local infrastructure, the foregoing issues cannot be

fully addressed until the contours of the event itself have taken shape. Notwithstanding that fact,

one public safety issue that is currently apparent is that of spectators attempting to watch the

event from the canyon edge. Applicant plans to, in conjunction with local officials, develop a

BECKLEY MEDIA, LLC.’s RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS,

PAGE 7

comprehensive public safety plan, a significant portion of which will be devoted to minimizing

or eliminating that potential risk to public safety.

I. A detailed description of the anticipated activities to create a positive

marketing image for the area, i.e., broadcast partnerships, media exposure,

public relations, etc.:

This event, the local community, and Beckley Media, LLC, have already received

significant national and local media exposure.

J. A description of impacts on other services (motels, restaurants, medical,

etc.):

Beckley Media believes the event, as proposed by it, has a huge potential for a positive

and long lasting economic impact on the local community. Beckley Media is sensitive to the

City’s concerns and will do anything in its power to alleviate those issues and produce an event

that is fully consistent with both the desires of the local community and its values. Again, until

the outline of the proposed event itself takes more substantial form, more detail on its impact on

local service is simply not possible.

K. A list of similar events conducted by the applicant, or by a member of the

applicant’s team, during the last five (5) years, with contact information for

the governmental entity that approved the event:

Please see the list attached hereto as Exhibit 6.

L. References:

Please see the letters of reference appended hereto collectively as Exhibit 4.

M. Any other information that the applicant deems helpful in demonstrating the

ability to successfully complete the event, to the satisfaction of the City:

Ed Beckley, the Applicant’s principal, has a huge amount of experience in promoting and

producing safe and successful events in the motorsports industry, including, not coincidentally,

producing such events in the past in Twin Falls, Idaho. Beckley Media and its engineering team

would greatly welcome the opportunity to have an in-person meeting with City representatives to

describe the proposed event in greater detail and, more importantly, to discuss the City’s

concerns and answer questions.

Twin Falls Motorcycle Jump Qualification Plan By Douglas Malewicki & Kevin Pracon, AeroVisions, Inc., October 16, 2013

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION Highly Modified MOTO GP Road Race or Drag Racing Motorcycle

The heart of the Big Ed Beckley jump motorcycle will be a highly modified MotoGP road race motorcycle such as a Ducati 1199 R, a drag racing Harley Davidson VRod Destroyer or an Indian Thunderstroke 111 powered bike or similar type.

Ducati 1199 R Harley VRod Destroyer Indian Thunderstroke 111

"Spirit of Munro"

The jump bike will utilize a 2 stage propulsion system. The wheel driven first stage accelerates the vehicle from a standing start using a 200 Horsepower, 4 stroke piston engine power plant. The second stage will be a highly reliable, commercially available composite solid propellant rocket motor that provides a thrust of 1,500 lbs for six seconds. The jump bike's suspension will have a short stiff (firm) travel on takeoff and automatically adjust to a very soft long travel suspension for landing. The tires will be high speed rating types to be suitable for both g loads encountered while climbing the curved ramp and the landing touch down loads. The race wheels will be fabricated from high strength aerospace grade aluminum alloy. The jump bike will incorporate an aerodynamically streamlined body fairing complete with 4 aft mounted stabilizer fins. The streamlined body fairing will be constructed from composite carbon fiber material to form an ultra light high strength aero-shell embodiment to minimize aerodynamic drag effects. A 400 square foot RAM air parachute stowed directly behind the pilot and be deployed at the apex of flight by the pilot or remotely by the launch safety ground crew as a safety backup. Upon touchdown, the main RAM air parachute will completely separate away from the motorcycle via highly reliable spacecraft rated separation bolts. These devices are the same as used in deploying numerous satellites and space probes for NASA and ESA (European Space Agency). For redundant safety, the pilot will wear a reserve parachute to bail out if the main parachute safety system operates improperly.

METHOD OF LAUNCH High Speed Upward Angled Launch Ramp

Big Ed will accelerate his specially engineered jump bike down a long paved road surface that transitions into a gradually upward sweeping ramp. He will enter the ramp at a speed of 160 mph. As his bike enters the ramp, the rocket booster motor is ignited. The extra forward thrust further accelerates his jump bike as he drives it up the ramp. The bike will exit the top of the 450 foot long ramp at a speed of 200 MPH. Then it continues to climb and build speed while in flight for the remaining 4.3 seconds of rocket thrust. At booster rocket thrust termination, the vehicle will have achieved a peak speed of 240 mph and be 2/3rds across the canyon span. It will continue coasting higher and farther. 1.5 seconds after thrust termination, the bike will be at its peak altitude of 520 feet right above the canyon's far rim at a horizontal speed of 210 MPH. The proposed take-off ramp will be 450 feet long and 40 feet wide. It will gradually rise 90 feet above the rim of the canyon. The mathematically defined contour will keep the extra centrifugal g level on Big Ed and his bike at about 1 g. The initial ramp entry contour will also account for the transition rate of change of acceleration (called "jerk") for pilot safety. The ramp will be constructed from alloy grade steel structures and anchored in place. The ramp will utilize an extremely gradual upwardly curving profile to exit at a 30 degree angle above horizontal level. The gradual transition minimizes effects of g force loading on both the ramp and the rider. Upon completion of the jump event, the steel components will be completely disassemble and removed for reuse else where. These grounds will then be completely restored to a natural ecofriendly condition as the city of Twin Falls desires. Evel Knievel's original launch mound will remain in place and undamaged.

Here is one modular 10 story, 100 foot tall high ramp that supports a car. It was sponsored by Mattel, Inc. for their Team Hot Wheels Car ramp-to-ramp record jump of 332 feet set by driver Tanner Faust

at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on May 29, 2011 as part of the Indy 500 pre-race events.

Big Ed has experience using downhill starting ramps to build up adequate

speed for his jumps when inside stadiums where the acceleration distance is limited.

AeroVisions, Inc. has been working with Mark Koivu (www.Dynamic-FX.com), who built the ramps shown here for Toyota Tundra TV commercials, etc. It is 92 feet tall and 369 feet long.

METHOD OF LANDING Ram Air Parachute Deployment Controlled Descent and Soft Landing

Once Big Ed's jump bike exits the ramp, the vehicle naturally becomes aerodynamically stabilized through its' flight path. The vehicle will take 5.5 seconds to fly beyond the far rim of the Snake River Canyon. The jump bike's rocket thrust will drop to zero and is now flying nearly horizontal about 500 feet above the canyon rim at the apex of flight (peak altitude). Big Ed will activate the parachute chute release system. First a standard pilot chute is released. That is used to pull out a small high speed drogue chute. After a short delay for some deceleration, the drogue pulls out the much larger primary ram air parachute canopy. Ram air parachutes feature a slider that is used to eliminate potentially dangerous instant opening shock loads at high speed. Once the canopy attains full inflation, the vehicle has largely been decelerated and can start gliding. At this point the ram air parachute becomes steerable and the jump cycle glides along in a predictable and steady descent while it approaches the marked landing zone marked by colored smoke. If required, the landing surface will be prepared to be suitable for a safe landing.

Touchdown speed is currently designed to be 50 mph or less. Upon touchdown and as soon as Big Ed senses full weight is on both wheels, he will activate the parachute release separation bolts. These devices will safely jettison the chute and attachment cords back and away from the bike and pilot. Once the large ram air parachute is released, Big Ed can drive the bike normally. He can then slow down the jump bike at will to a full stop. Big Ed will undergo significant training in learning how to steer a ram air parachute as well as steering and landing his jump bike with this type of parachute sequence.

1/4 SCALE SUBSCALE FLIGHT TEST ARTICLE

Back in 1972, Doug Malewicki flew sub scale solid rocket models to verify the computer trajectory software developed for the full size Evel Knievel X-1 Sky-Cycle. Three rockets were launched from the top of Evel's dirt ramp way back in May 6, 1972. The X-1 was never piloted by Evel. AeroVisions, Inc. will be using working models once again to verify several aspects of this mission. Technology has vastly changed over those years. Back then computers were a new fangled gadget. Now we will be using affordable electronic gyro-stabilized, two-wheeled, radio controlled, motorcycle models, off-the-shelf hobby solid rockets and GPS systems for precision gliding and landing control. These models will carry a light weight advanced time based data collection system that will provide us motor RPM, acceleration, vehicle speed, g's while going up the ramp plus GPS position VS time. Our modified subscale motorcycle will drive up to, climb the scale ramp, ignite, fly, glide and land. These flight tests will once again provide valuable trajectory software verification, which will enhance both confidence and mission safety.

Doug Malewicki, designer and engineer of Evel Knievel's steam rocket powered SkyCycle X-1 canyon jumping motorcycle is shown here shaking hands with Evel at the machine's unveiling at the Twin Falls, Idaho Snake River Canyon jump site on May 6, 1972.

SAFETY Safety is our number one priority.

AeroVisions, Inc. engineering specialists have established key safety requirements to every critical element of the jump motorcycle and its' related support equipment including its propulsion systems, parachute systems, associated launch ramp and runway/landing strip areas. In addition, specialized qualification testing and pilot training must be performed to qualify this equipment and the pilot himself as "fit for purpose". These safety test methods will ensure robust safety not only for the pilot but for the event spectators, surrounding commercial/private properties and the crucial reputations of Twin Falls Idaho and its citizens. "Equipment and/or pilot failure is not an option for this event".

The engineering team has 142 years of engineering success in developing specialized equipment and subsystems used in "Man Rated" launch vehicles, aircraft and related weapon systems. The engineering team consists of four senior level aeronautical and mechanical engineers. The engineers include the following:

The jump bikes critical load bearing structures will be thoroughly analyzed to ensure each part of the motorcycle will withstand all dynamic and reaction loading conditions caused by its sequence of high speed flight and landing events with proper safety margin. All equipment retrofits and or modifications will be retested to validate such modified parts meet the required design parameters. Various bike level load & drop tests will be performed with critical measurements made in each area. Note - SAFETY FACTOR is the term engineers use when calculating how much stronger any part or system is manufactured, rated and tested to - relative to the actual loads a structure can be expected to experience in use. Example, a Holo-Krome 3/8" fine thread bolt is rated by the manufacturer to be capable of supporting 15,800 pounds in tension. In order to insure a SAFETY FACTOR of 4 we would be sure to never exceed an actual load of 3,950 pounds in tension under all the structural loading conditions experienced during acceleration, driving up the ramp, under rocket maximum thrust, parachute deployment and landing. Jump bike power train acceleration and speed performance will be measured over a 1/4 mile trap distance as will subsequent deceleration capability under hard braking. These measured results will validate our software prediction profiles for achieving required ramp entry speeds in the confines of available acceleration run up distance. The motorcycle factory will be consulted every time we need to make major modifications to its power train parts. This is to ensure power train reliability and performance is unaffected. Tires will be upgraded and tested at jump bike launch/load speeds as well as landing loads plus safety factor. Suspension shocks and travel will be modified and tested for proper short travel stiff damping for expected launch conditions and long travel soft damping for expected landing conditions. These modifications will be iterated to optimize their performance while maintaining a robust safety margin. The streamlined aero shell and aft stabilizer fins will be aerodynamically modeled using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis methods then tested and optimized using 1/4 scale radio control models. FEA analysis will be used to ensure the aero shell is structurally robust with safety margin.

6

Initial rocket motor sizes will be established from a number of spread sheet trajectory calculations followed by a number of static thrust test firings. Output thrust force, time to ignite, time to peak pressure and total burn time will be measured directly during these test firings. Rocket motor ignition tests will also be conducted using redundant igniter devices to maximize reliable motor ignition time and time to peak thrust. Once the optimum size motor is determined, several test firings will be performed to establish a minimum and maximum range of acceptable performance criteria. Some of this will be compared to factory test data as well. Full scale rocket motor assisted jump bike testing will be performed along with pilot acclimation rocket booster training as part of this iterative sequence. Rocket motors used for the main jump event will use propellant grains made from the same chemical blend lot to ensure repeatable thrust performance. Ram air main parachute selection and sizing will be performed early in the project. We will work closely with a highly qualified primary parachute supplier to collect technical data for correct sizing, its similar application types, stowed volume, payload weights, speed of descent, deployment elevation range, glide distance estimates, landing speeds etc. We will conduct various "where used" pedigree analyses to best understand how similar parachute types are used and any issues they may have encountered early on. Main chute deployment occurs in 3 stages. The first stage uses a typical positive spring release mechanism that shoots a pilot chute into the rushing air stream. The pilot chute creates an instant pulling force that tugs out a small high speed drogue chute. The drogue chute in turn pulls out the much larger main ram air parachute. Ram air parachutes feature a slider that is used to eliminate potentially dangerous instant opening shock loads. Deployment times and reaction loads along with various wind effects on steering control will be characterized. Again we will model critical dynamic conditions using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamic) analysis and FEA (Finite Element Analysis) to determine stress distribution throughout the entire structure. We will build and then test various extreme combinations in flight conditions. The main ram air parachute and its attachments will be configured to have a substantial positive safety factor. For redundant pilot safety, Big Ed will wear a reserve parachute and be fully trained to ensure he can escape away from the bike and parachute safely to earth. Big Ed will undergo months of extensive sky dive training in and outside of a simulated bike structure to ensure he's experienced and develops confidence in knowing how to quickly ascertain problems are developing. He will be mentally conditioned to instinctively follow the exact steps to correct any anomalies or escape to safety.

TRAINING DETAILS FOR SAFETY

Big Ed will undergo extensive training in all aspects of this jump event and fitness training like an astronaut to enhance his current skills and build to develop new and needed skills to ensure his safety and greatly increase the probability of a successful event for all. The following summarizes only some of the critical training that Big Ed must progress through before he is qualified to safely perform this first ever Jump of the Century.

7

There will be additional protection for the possibility of an extremely rare case of a launch abort condition. This will be set up exactly like commercial aircraft, who have a specific V1 abort speed for each airport that depends on available runway length and the airplanes current take-off gross weight. Example - the motorcycle engine fails while Big Ed is accelerating hard to build up speed prior to entering the ramp. There is a similar V1 abort speed for Big Ed, If he is below V1 he can apply hard braking and be fully stopped before exiting the top of the ramp. If he is above that V1 abort speed, he is safe to proceed up & off the ramp, where he can continue to gain additional altitude and then deploy the main ram air parachute for safe recovery. His training will address these multiple launch abort scenarios.

PROBABILITY OF SUCCESS.... VERY HIGH

The AeroVisions, Inc., team in partnership with Beckley Media LLC is well suited to deliver a safe and highly successful Twin Falls Snake River Canyon Rocket Motorcycle jump. The high confidence of a successful outcome is based on the in depth study of the underlying technologies and subsequent integration into the current jump sequence. Many options were reviewed with major consideration for state of technology, reliability, suitability, availability and how they combine to provide a complete system that provides a high degree of safety. The result is the AeroVisions developed man-rated 2 stage propulsion rocket bike with main ram air parachute recovery and tuned ramp launch system. Collectively our high level of confidence is based on the following principles: 1) The team has an in depth understanding the critical equipment related to successful and reliable man-rated rocket powered flight. Each of the technologies (aerodynamics, tire performance, bike structure, timing, instrumentation, controls, runway & ramp, chute deployment and control, redundant systems and others technologies) are scheduled to be tested separately, then combined into an integrated system to provide both a high degree of safely along with success outcome. 2) The team has substantial training and proven experience in aeronautical engineering design, development, qualification testing and manufacture of man-rated rocket powered and aircraft flight equipment. 3) The team has direct experience in design and development of Evel Knievel's X-1 Snake River rocket bike equipment. 4) The team is using proven, commercially available equipment and current technologies. 5) The pilot will be properly and safely trained to drive and fly the rocket bike equipment with confidence and control. 6) The team is 100% committed to safety at any cost. If any part of the equipment or pilots safety is in question, the All Systems Go approval will not be granted by the launch safety control officer.

As you can tell from the Bios in Appendix A, The AeroVisions' team has “engineered” a two stage propulsion system with main ram air parachute recovery system. Engineering is simply applying known math and physics methodologies to enhance safety, reduce development costs and greatly speed up the slow empirical, sometimes years long trial and error processes that drag race mechanics, welders, high profile stunt artists and rocket tinkerers use to evolve and perfect their new machines. We engineer, design, analyze and fabricate reliable man-rated machines that will have been extensively tested for safety before being allowed to perform. As previously, stated the AeroVisions, Inc. team has 142 years of demonstrated success and experience doing exactly that.

Physical Layout Description of Jump Site

The preliminary jump site layout will include the following: 1) Level acceleration runway length will = 2,000 foot long by 49 foot wide. 2) Level acceleration runway surface would be a paved surface with painted white center line down it's entire length. 3) Drag race type safety rails would line both sides of the level acceleration runway length and extend half way up the launch ramp. 4) Chain Link safety fence would be installed along the last 1,200 foot of the level acceleration runway length. 5) Grand-stands would be set back from each safety railing about 80 foot and extend along the last 1,000 foot of level acceleration runway length. 6) Contoured launch ramp will be built to engineering specifications to include 500 foot long by 90 foot tall. 7) Emergency equipment will be placed at both ends of the level acceleration runway length. A 50 foot wide by 100 foot long area at each end will be set off to the side for that equipment. 8) There will be a paved helicopter landing pad near launch ramp and emergency equipment area. 9) The far side of the canyon will have a 1,000 Ft. long X 500 Ft. wide flat and level landing zone with touchdown located about 200 ft into the landing zone area. This landing zone starts 500 feet beyond the rim edge. 11) Landing surface should be smooth, hard pack dirt as a minimum. All stones, rocks, bush and debris must be removed. 12) Grand-stands can be erected 200 Feet away from each side of the 500 Foot wide landing zone. 13) Emergency equipment shall be staged near the canyon rim and near the end of the landing zone. 14) Emergency rescue crews on small powered watercraft carrying flotation gear will be staged in the river below.

• At Hi-Shear, he designed and developed the pyrotechnic driven emergency rescue cutter tools

(similar to Jaws of Life) used to rescue survivors in the 1995 Oklahoma Federal Building bombing.

• Kevin developed the world’s first Flexible Hyperbaric Habitat Structure to enable the replacement of damaged tanker ship propulsion systems underwater in the wet. This saves several millions of dollars each time by eliminating 6 months lost production time which occurs when you have to tow these large ships to a port with adequate dry dock facilities.

• “The 50 Ton Rudder Repair” was a featured episode on the National Geographic’s TV series

named “The Big Fix” that was aired in 2010. Kevin designed Cofferdam equipment for this unusual application and then taught the underwater dive technicians safe repair procedures using step-by-step 3D simulations. Yes - the huge rudder was removed by an underwater diving crew while the fully loaded, iron ore freight carrying ship floated in the sea. Pracon’s name was also listed in the credits.

- At Innovation Sports Clark developed a process to make hollow, structurally efficient carbon fiber knee braces using a combination of carbon fiber cloth over an inflatable internal bladder nested in silicon rubber mold uniformly clamped with pneumatic external bladder. See attached photo showing original and hollow versions.

Clark was a Boeing Aircraft Co. design engineer for Wind tunnel test models just like his dad. His first granted patent #4,537,647 was for a method to install turbulators to better replicate correct in-flight Reynolds Numbers on sub scale wind tunnel models. He was also a Co-builder of several experimental aircraft – a 1997 Pulsar N460GM; a re-built Pitts S1 aerobatic biplane N1PH; and an upgraded Lazer N81337 aerobatic monoplane.

Clark has also consulted on a turbine powered personal flight belt that would provide much more flight duration than the rocket belts. It also would only use $30 worth of JP-4 jet fuel instead of $1,200 of 98% strength Hydrogen Peroxide Monopropellant per flight.

Bob Kubinski BIO Bob has been working at WestPac Materials since April 2002. Prior to Westpac Materials, Kubinski worked at Main-Tech as their installation manager for the advanced fully automated processing systems that Main Tech designed. Westpac hired Main Tech to automate their plant into a more efficient 24/7 operation. WestPac executives were impressed with Bob Kubinski's mechanical talents. After the installation was completed and working as designed, they offered Bob a significant increase from what he was making at Main Tech. As Engineering Manager, Bob’s current responsibilities run the gamut from recruiting, planning, costing, production, planning, proposals, negotiating with clients, solving environmental concerns, approving contracts and cost estimates; and working with management on expansion of manufacturing facilities to other States. Earlier in his career Kubinski worked in the large steel construction and fabrication industry in Detroit, Michigan where he grew up. When he came to California, he immediately sought temporary work. Doug Malewicki, chief consulting engineer at AeroChem, Inc., an aerospace chemical milling company in Orange, California, had a new project that required hiring three temporary employees. Bob was one of those. Within just a few days, Malewicki became aware of Bob's mechanical intelligence and work ethic. He quickly told human services to make Bob an offer for a full-time job. Over the next three years, Doug and Bob co-designed, built and implemented many innovative machines that lowered production costs. After Malewicki raised the funds to get his fire-breathing, car eating monster robot invention built, he immediately hired Bob away to manage the Monster Robots, Inc. fabrication shop. Besides running the shop personnel and doing much of the welding himself, Kubinski also helped Doug to solve numerous complicated mechanical integration problems. For this Doug named Bob as a co-inventor on the Robosaurus patent. USA patent 5,052,680 issued October 1, 1991. Bob also assisted Doug in writing all the sponsorship proposals that resulted in $450,000 worth of product sponsorships; $250,000 from Parker Fluid Power alone. Bob Kubinski was Race Team Director for the pure electric powered White Lightning Land Speed Record project. On October 22, 1999, Pat Rummerfield drove the White Lightning electric streamliner to an official FIA World Land Speed Record of 245.524 MPH at the Bonneville Salt Flats. The speedster, owned by Dempsey's World Record Associates (DWRA) of Santa Ana, California, shattered the existing electric car record of 215 MPH set by Eric Lueben in 1997.

Bob is another member of the AeroVisions, Inc. team. He has evolved into an avid cyclist and races in California and several other western states on his carbon fiber composite bike.

(Letters of Recommendation for Ed Beckley)

October 16, 2013

To Whom It May Concern:

I have been employed the past 43 years by Fonner Park, which is a thoroughbred race track and a community center, hosting many different events every year.

Over time, this facility has continued to grow and in 2006 the Heartland Events Center, a new 6,000 seat multiple purpose civic center was constructed to host all types of activities and events on a year round basis.

Four years ago, we also became the home of the Nebraska State Fair which constructed over 50 million dollars worth of buildings to host the state fair every year.

In 2006, Ed Beckley contacted us about bringing his monster truck show to our facility. Checkered Flag Productions Monster Truck Show has become one of our annual events. His shows have been top notch and crowd pleasers.

The quality of the monster trucks and their owners are some of the best that tour the United States and the safety measures that are taken to protect spectators and participants during the shows has been excellent.

It has been a privilege and pleasure to work with Mr. Beckley and the fan base that he has developed in our area speaks well of an individual who has devoted his time to being a promoter of professional motors sports events.

Mr. Beckley scores high as a promoter of motor sports and other events and I would highly recommend him to any group looking for an attraction like monster trucks to add to their venue.

Sincerely,

HUGH MINER, JR. EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT & CEO FONNER PARK & HEARTLAND EVENTS CENTER

BECKLEY MEDIA, LLC’S SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE TO THE CITY OF TWIN

FALLS’ REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS - 1

BECKLEY MEDIA, LLC’S SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE

TO THE CITY OF TWIN FALLS’ REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS

In response to the City of Twin Falls’ request dated Friday, November 1, 2013, Beckley

Media, LLC respectfully submits this information to supplement its Response to Request for

Qualifications submitted to the City on October 17, 2013. This supplemental submission is

intended to address and provide greater detail with respect to the specific areas identified by the

City. Beckley Media team members will be present at the public meeting scheduled for

November 21, 2013, to comment further on these areas, and to answer any other questions the

City or the public may have concerning Beckley Media’s proposed spectacular event.

1. Estimated Number of Visitors and Crowd Management:

As a threshold matter, and as Beckley Media indicated in its initial response materials,

Beckley Media has no desire to put on an event inconsistent with the goals and requirements of

the City. At this stage, our proposed event is fluid, and at this point, can be altered to meet the

goals and reasonable requirements of the City. Thus, the City has the greatest ability to shape

the contours of the proposed event and, until Applicant is given more details on what the City’s

goals and desires are, we are, to a large degree, speculating in terms of anticipated attendance,

etc. That adds great difficulty in anticipating security and other issues. That being said, we

believe it reasonable to estimate that the number of outside spectators coming into the

community for the event could be between 15,000-20,000.1

Again, and depending upon what the City’s goals are, the City and event organizer will

have the ability to greatly influence that number through event planning such as setting limits on

1 Beckley Media believes that a reasonable “high” estimate of numbers of out-of-town visitors

would be 40,000. That number is subject to control by the City and Applicant through event

planning.

BECKLEY MEDIA, LLC’S SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE TO THE CITY OF TWIN

FALLS’ REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS - 2

live ticket sales. Once those goals have crystalized, Applicant proposes that a comprehensive

crowd management plan be developed by Beckley Media to be filed with and approved by the

City and all affected agencies. The tools that Beckley Media will use to make the event

manageable and safe for the community include the following:

A “peer security” force hired and trained by the Applicant. Beckley

Media would strive to make this security force composed of, or directed by, off-duty law

enforcement officers.

Ticketing and queuing. Ticketing and queuing are tremendous crowd

management tools. Advanced ticket sales and giveaways, with a premium paid for non-

advanced purchase, would lead to greater predictability of patron numbers.

Non-centralized parking. Non-centralized parking locations with

bussing of spectators to viewing locations would likewise add to the ability to predict and

manage traffic congestion and other concerns. This gives us tremendous control over

crowd related issues and greatly enhances safety factors, and provides greater control

over ticketing.

Limiting or eliminating alcohol served at event.

Contraband screening.

Patron reporting stations. Depending upon the numbers and locations of

spectators, patron reporting stations will be set up throughout the community to allow

spectators to report health and safety issues, lost property, and even lost friends or family

members. These stations will also serve as part of the communication network in the

effort to coordinate between police and other public servants, the public and event staff.

Non-Centralized VIP viewing locations. Partnering with local

establishments to have exclusive “VIP viewing locations with live high definition video

feeds at various locations throughout the community would help alleviate centralized

traffic and other crowd related issues. These opportunities could be enhanced by after-

event appearances by Team Beckley with autograph signings, photo opportunities and

exclusive merchandise giveaways.

Hotel blocking. Partnering with hotels throughout the valley to provide

reduced rates on blocks of rooms for event spectators. This provides a greater measure of

attendance predictability.

State assistance. Team Beckley has already partnered with the State of

Idaho on its proposed event, all to the incredible benefit of Idaho school children. The

State has been very supportive, and we plan to ask the State of Idaho for additional

BECKLEY MEDIA, LLC’S SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE TO THE CITY OF TWIN

FALLS’ REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS - 3

support in the areas of security and traffic monitoring and control. No other source has

the type of resources that can be brought to bear on these issues as does the State of

Idaho, and no other applicant has the established relationship with the State that Beckley

Media does.

Safety reminder program. Team Beckley will coordinate and sponsor a

safety reminder program in conjunction with radio, television and other media outlets

publishing “public service” type safety reminders and notice. This campaign will predate

and run through the event proper.

2. Generalized Overview of Revenue Sources: The following is a generalized

overview of the revenue sources, to the Applicant, the City itself, and to businesses and other

members of the community, flowing from the production of the event.

Sponsorship/advertising sales.

Licensing opportunities.

Ticketing.2

Parking.3

Concessions.4

On-Site Merchandise (T-Shirts, Banners, Toys, Etc.).5

Sale or other disposition of rights to live video feeds.

Additional Revenue Streams (Sponsor Advertising, Television and

Internet Rights, Etc.)

VIP Packages. Beckley Media will develop and promote a “VIP

experience” package, similar to that its principal has used with great

success in the promotion of other motorsports events. The “VIP

experience” will include a meal with jump team, exclusive Team Beckley

2 Applicant believes an average ticket price of $20.00 to be reasonable. This number would not

apply to VIP ticketing packages, or ticketing to live feed viewing at off-site locations.

3 Applicant believes a reasonable working assumption for the number of vehicles for the live

patrons is ¼ of the number of spectators, as well as a parking price of $10.00 per vehicle. This

number would not be applicable to parking for remote live views of individuals at VIP locations

throughout the community. 4 Applicant believes concession spending at $6.00 per head is a reasonable assumption.

5 We are assuming the average money spent on merchandise at $5.00 per head.

BECKLEY MEDIA, LLC’S SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE TO THE CITY OF TWIN

FALLS’ REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS - 4

souvenir merchandise, and a photo opportunity with the pilot and jump

bike. Beckley Media believes that given the interest generated by this

event to-date, these tickets could achieve a value in excess of $1,000 per

ticket. To defray any costs incurred by the City, Beckley Media will

donate 100 of these tickets to the City for resale, at a conservative

estimated value of $100,000.

Local business opportunities. Cooperation with local businesses in

marketing the event, including provision for event ticketing and exclusive

Team Beckley merchandise packages in exchange for event support.

Beckley Media wants the community to be actively involved in and

benefit from the event.

3. Benefit to The City and Surrounding Area: The public interest in this event

has been incredible. Beckley Media believes its proposed jump of the Snake River Canyon will

result in huge economic benefits to the Twin Falls community, and will give that community a

unique opportunity to showcase itself to the world at large. Beckley Media further believes that

the positive benefits of this event to the community may well be felt for generations. A non-

exhaustive list of just some of those benefits follows:

Visitors to the community will need to be fed and provided hotel

accommodations. They will spend money on gasoline and other essential items, and will

spend money on various non-essential items and local entertainment, in addition to that

associated with the event. This will result in an immediate economic benefit to the local

economy.

Local event staff will be employed.

The City will have the opportunity to realize revenue from the sale or

lease of on-site vending space.

The City will have the opportunity to realize income from things such as

City-owned event parking.

The City and community businesses will have the opportunity to realize

revenue into the foreseeable future in the form of increased tourism dollars.

Beckley Media plans to provide for standard “festival seating,” for all

spectators allowed to view the event live. The City will have the opportunity to provide

BECKLEY MEDIA, LLC’S SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE TO THE CITY OF TWIN

FALLS’ REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS - 5

“premium” seating in the form of portable grandstands of the type used at local sporting

events. The City could realize direct income by charging for such seating.

Beckley Media wants a lasting presence in the community. It would like

(and has been approached) about establishing a permanent location in Twin Falls that can

serve as a museum and location to sell official event merchandise. This could have a

lasting and positive impact on the image of the community and future tourism.

Beckley Media is a proponent of education and children in general. No

aspect of Team Beckley’s proposed event would be possible absent the involvement of

highly educated and well trained individuals. Team Beckley believes this event has

already been, and will continue to be, of huge benefit to public education in the State of

Idaho. Beckley Media also firmly believes that what is good for Idaho’s children, is good

for the great community of Twin Falls. To further emphasize the point and make it more

personal to the community, Beckley Media will commit to the establishment of a

scholarship fund for local youth, funded by a percentage of local ticket sales. Beckley

Media will work with local community leaders to identify areas of need and tailor

scholarship eligibility requirements to meet those identified needs.

4. Description of Land Use Within the City Limits: Aside from jump-side

viewing and parking areas, the land use within the City limits proposed by Beckley Media will

be limited to the assembly of a launch ramp and the construction or refinement of a roadway

leading up to the ramp, at or near the site of the Evel Knievel attempt. The ramp itself will be

removed after the event. The desired ideal length of the roadway would be 1,600 feet; although

a shorter length could be safely used.

CONCLUSION

Beckley Media will produce an event of which all involved will be proud. It has

absolutely no desire to produce an event inconsistent with the goals and requirements of the City.

Beckley Media welcomes the opportunity to make its presentation on November 21 and to

respond, in person, to the City’s questions and concerns.

Re: Commercial Recreation Lease No. M700052

Dear Messrs. Ed Beckley and Jon Simmons,

Inquiry has been made regarding the inclusion of the rights to the airspace above the physicalstate lands to be leased pursuant to Commercial Recreation Lease No. M700052 (the “JumpLease”). The Jump Lease was the subject of a competitive bidding and public auction processheld September 27, 2013. Beckley Media, LLC (“Lessee”), was the successful high bidder witha bid of $943,000.00, and will be the Lessee of the Jump Lease, which is currently awaitingexecution by the State Land Board.

The express purpose of the Jump Lease was to provide the successful bidder with theopportunity to control and use the leased state lands as a landing platform for an attemptedvehicular jump over the Snake River during the two (2) year term of the Jump Lease. Thenature and purpose of the Jump Lease make it clear that the airspace over the leased statelands is an integral component of the Jump Lease. The Lessee has the right to the use andcontrol of the leased state lands including the airspace over the leased lands in accordance withthe terms and conditions of the Jump Lease.

“Lands” is specifically defined in Idaho Code § 55-lOlA, as “the material of the earth, whatevermay be the ingredients of which it is composed, whether soil, rock or other substance, andinclude free or occupied space for an indefinite distance upwards as well as downwards, subjectto limitations upon the use of airspace imposed and rights in the use of airspace granted, bylaw.

The Jump Lease includes the leased state lands and airspace. It is subject to the state’s non-conflicting use and the rights of any preexisting state lessee whose use of the leased lands isnot inconsistent with the purpose of the Jump Lease. The Jump Lease is intended to authorizeLessee to control the leased lands and airspace, including the placement of cameras and otherelectronic devices (subject to the state’s express consent), to the exclusion of any other personsor entities who might seek to use the leased state lands or airspace in a competing jump overthe Snake River during the term of the Jump Lease.
