Jared Ewy and Daniel Negari fly around the track in friendly wager.
I see a lot of marketing gimmicks for domain names, but rarely write about them. This bobsledding competition (and sponsorship) involving .xyz is entertaining enough to pass along.
Here’s the background:
In addition to being CEO of .Kiwi, Tim Johnson is also the manager of the New Zealand bobsled team. Name.com pulled together .xyz, .Buzz, .Ninja and .club to help sponsor the New Zealand bobsled team.
On top of that, .xyz CEO Daniel Negari raced Name.com’s Jared Ewy in a bobsled competition. It was a friendly wager, with Negari offering to “sing the praises” of Name.com if he lost and Ewy agreeing to wear .xyz swag from head to toe if he was slower.
Here’s the pre-race set up video:
I’m not going to play spoiler and tell you who won, other than to say it was really close. You can see for yourself; watch Negari’s run here an Ewy’s here.
