Dixon,Illinois - At exactly 1200 hrs central time, the 7th of August 2005, the first ultralight plane
flight initiated its ascent inch by inch along the Dixon airport runway. On board the said flight were plane pilot/instructor
Steve Gaston and CDR Racing Team President Lake Icao. As the plane took off, another step was taken. It opened our visions
of having another sport to venture. The flight took 30 minutes from take off to landing as it hovered around the scenic views
of Ogle County with an altitude between 500-1000 feet speeding up to 60 miles per hour. After Lake's test flight, Paul Tiu
took advantage of the said event by coiling into the plane's back seat waiting for another take off. And again, it was a 30
minute flight over Ogle County. Two CDR members, namely Sandie and Lief were there and observed how everything
was going on. According to Steve, it would be better to take plane flights early in the morning or late in the afternoon to
avoid experiencing a lot of thermal activities which cause turbulence. Play Video

CDR Extreme Vacation - Day One
You
might think that vacation is a time to rest and unwind especially from the rigors of work in a city like Chicago.However
this kind of vacation that we were about to partake is no ordinary vacation.The group has been planning a Florida
vacation for a while now but never realized it until this summer of 2004.
You can call it extreme or you can say travel- heavy
as opposed to travel- light.Normally you pack your things and some toiletries and you are good to go but no-uh,not in this
trip my friend We packed our motocross bikes,our jetskis and a boat.Yes!
a BOAT.We patiently towed 6 mx bikes, 2 personal watercrafts- a runabout and a stand up(you know, we call them waverunner
and jetski) and a 20 foot speedboat.You could tell we are up to something and you're right we know we will be having FUN!

ABS-CBN Interview The team got their biggest break when Rome Nicholls of ABS-CBN approached Alvin Ang about making
a feature story about the group.When the president Lake Icao learned of the offer no time was wasted since it seldom happened
that a group be featured on television.The backdrop would be Joliet Motosport Park and with the presence of Jaemar Andrada,
Paul Tiu, Alvin Ang and Bobby Mayor it made the event a success.While interviews were done impromptu,video shots were made
as well during riding sessions.On the other hand,Lake Icao was also interviewed at his residence prior to that.The exposure
on the filipino channel send waves of calls and acknowledgments across the globe. Play Video
