Well, I do know that (sales) if it's not approved by the appropriate rokslide staff, it won't be a good thing.

WKRs should have a subtle way of acknowledging status. Something a WKR would know - an acronym or hat tip - like a secret handshake but that could be done from afar in passing. No need to advertise. IYKYK
If we are truly WK no advertising necessary. I expect to show up at a trailhead and have people whispering to each other "Hey, there's H2PVon".

Noted. When I do whisper that, is it pronounced phonetically, so I say all of the characters, or is it a combination - I say H2P (like H2O) and then pronounce Von?

Well done. Point of clarification. Is figure on the left with the arrow provided to see what the sign looks like from the side? Or is that intended to demonstrate that giving the sign involves moving the sign from side-to-side, like the movement of the Llama's head, or like the "hang loose" sign is done with some back and forth rotation?

Maybe one addition could be considered. Do the sign (frontal only is an option), but then open the hand and back it away, in conjunction of a slight exhale "poof" with the mouth, to be like what happened to the BOAL. Or maybe that is the response of the receiver to demonstrate that he or she is not just mimicking the sign as a WKR imposter might.

Ever passed a guy on a motorcycle and gotten the low wave?....That's it....
Oh I know exactly what you are talking about... the ole two low.

Recently I purchased a 150cc Moped for $500. I took that baby for my first ride down to the gym. While I was cruising at a blistering 45mph, a man dressed in all black leather was coming in the other direction riding his Harley. This was a long straight section of RD but to my surprise he dropped his arm low and gave me the two fingers. I was shocked, I had officially made it in the club. But the furious engine between my legs made me too nervous to return the gesture. I was sure I would lose control from all the power thundering underneath me. As we passed I could see he had made a terrible mistake. A classic situation of good from a far but far from good. He knew if any of his buddies had seen that he would be stripped of his leather jacket and quickly beaten in a back alley so he high tailed it out of there.

I told my wife about it and she laughed as I had joked that I would be the one giving all the Harley dudes the two low to try and trick them into it lol

Definitely moving from side to side, like your looking around for a buck thief.

On a side note we should totally bring this back up in the fall and then have a sticky thread where people can post about encounters. If I see someone on the mountain give me the llama sign ill lose it.

No need for a hand sign or handshake. Hats, T-shirts and bumper stickers are a little sedate.

A statement would be made with a codpiece in Vias with logo.

I made myself laugh imagining the marketing on that.
