[Gary Dranow]

A forward thinking sports marketing and IP company buys Modern
Ski Racing for development, here is the parent company's website;

PLATiPUS Crossing, LLC

Robin Jennings, PLATiPUS President says "Modern Ski Racing's cutting
edge approach to Ski Racing Technology and commitment to their
community is a perfect fit for our company's services and focus. We
are very excited about developing their brand and bringing their
concepts to full potential. They are truly an original within their
community and sport, we like that"

Congratulations on the sale of MSR.


I see that the Tennis Channel is another project of Platipus. This seems like a good fit.

Is Robin Jennings a ski racer, snowboarder, tennis player, baseball player, etc.?

How does the acquisition by Platipus Crossing impact your involvement & future plans for MSR?

When asked to summarize the purpose of our company in thirty seconds or less, here is our response:


"We build social network platforms, produce media content with individuals' or organizations' intellectual property, for target audiences across the country."

PLATform + Intellectual Property + United States = PLATiPUS

The significance of the PlatYpus:

The Platypus is the sole living representative of it's family (Ornithorhynchidae). It is the only mammal that lays eggs instead of giving birth to live young. The bizarre appearance of this egg-laying, venomous, duck-billed, beaver-tailed, otter-footed mammal baffled European naturalists when they first encountered it, with some considering it an elaborate fraud. The unique features of the Platypus make it an important subject in the study of evolutionary biology and a recognizable and iconic symbol of Australia.

In short, the Platypus is a freak of evolution and our company embraces the nature of this creature as we assist your evolution in the media world.

SkierScott,

Platipus Crossing is another brainchild of Gary Dranow, the main founder of MSR, and Robin Jennings, a retired Big League baseball player. Since Platipus Crossing is a sports web media platform provider, it was a natural acquisition to have MSR in it's business plan.

MSR plans to introduce a revamped website with new features and more user friendly content. Since the final product is still under wraps, we ask you to keep checking in for updates and snippets of the future MSR.
