Default X Factory On Prime Time TV in the U.S.

X FACTORY WILL BE FEATURED ON SHOWDOWN OF THE UNBEATABLES, National Geographic Channel's new show premiering Friday April 4th at 9 Eastern & Pacific. We think we will be on the fourth or fifth show.

We'll let you know more as soon as we can. Paul, Chazz, and the X - 6 Cubed will be featured for about 10 minutes as part of the program. This is not a paid infomercial. The filming was totally spectacular.

This pic is from National Geographic's web site about the new show, Showdown Of The Unbeatables. Zane, on the right, was our presenter. Although the pic of the two presenters was not taken at the site, I think the background is from the place where our Showdown took place.

Hope everybody watched the first episode last night. I guessed the rock buster would eat the safe up. Wrong! If I had something worth keeping, I'd want a Brown safe. And I was surprised the paintball gun couldn't find the stationary target, and Chief AJ won! Hoo-Ray for the Chief!

Last, I thought they put the cannon too close to the glass. I wonder what would have happened if it had been 50 or 100 yards away. After all, it shot the bottle 500 yards in the test. And what if they had built a concrete block wall and coated that? That Line-X is cool stuff.

Win or lose, the promotion is awesome.

We can now show you two pix from GRB Productions, the producer of Showdown. First is a pic of Paul's Cubed taken at The R/C Factory in Jeffersonville, Ohio where several of the stunts were performed.

Second one is from a road near Waterville, Ohio. GRB wanted a drag race with a real car, and they were about to go rent one when Family member Oldman Billy volunteered his Porsche! He tuned it up the night before, and they made us do it about a dozen times while they set up eight cameras differently each time to get great shots of all the action.

Billy gave it everything the Porsche would do -- even though he is one of the most loyal members of The Family, he didn't like the idea of his prize Porsche losing. Anybody want to guess who won?
