Austin Gavlak - Maxa - Burning Man 2025

Description

Playing the MAXA Deer had lived in my imagination for years, so when the call came to play Friday at midnight, I knew this was the moment to fully step in. First thing I did was call my dad and tell him: this is the year you’re finally coming to Burning Man. He flew in Friday afternoon, and his first experience on playa was RY X on MAXA for sunset…. and he was like, "wait what? Are you playing on this giant deer?" (Lol) Sunset was so special - we hugged, danced, and cried a few small tears of joy - he instantly fell in love with Burning Man. Sharing that night with him, surrounded by so many of my closest friends, became one of the most epic moments of my ten years on the Playa. After 2 hours of bouncing bliss, I got to hand the decks to one of my long-time heroes - Tummetott - I couldn’t have dreamed it up any better <3 Deep gratitude to the MAXA community for the invitation, and for the singular magic you continue to weave into the dust with your very special MAXA flavor. I hope to see you all on a dance floor soon!
