We did it! Thanks to you, we made it to the Playa for Burning Man 2014!!!It was truly an amazing journey one that the entire team will never forget!
It was a definitely intense and now that XUZA is built we are now ready to take her to a whole new level.
As soon as we arrived home from the Playa last year we looked over all of our notes. What worked, what didn't and these are the things we were focused on for 2015.
The items that caused us the most headaches were:
- Transportation / Trailer
The rig was too big for the trailer that was rented to us, which delayed us 3.5 days. A good friend and fellow burner and Art Car builder reached out with a professional hauler who hooked us up and helped us get to the Playa. It cost us a mint, but we were determined to get her there even though it cost us in the wallet and five days late.
- The Mask
This was just too bulky and heavy. It took a team of us to get her positioned and mounted.
- The Driver controls
The Driver had very limited visibility which was a major safety concern.
I met with my good friend and amazing Artist Gear Duran over the Christmas Holiday and he expressed 100% interest in creating a whole new look for XUZA!
XUZA is being hand sculpted out of foam core material and will be airbrushed in UV reactive colors, this will truly be an ART car!

They wanted to contribute to the funding video and help with this campaign. After watching the clips they sent, I needed to edit it and make their own Video segment. This is the LOVE from my Burner Family..... enjoy lol...
