Highlights for the lazy:
-August 4-6 2006 outside of Denver, Co.
-Free camping
-Free mini-comp on saturday
-endless amazing natural riding
-partying with fellow trials riders in the evening


Sorry to take so long making it all official and stuff, but OTN days is for sure happening. As of now we have attendies from all over Colorado, California, Washington and Texas as well as a couple from the east coast. A little birdie also told me of the possibility of some midwest folks coming on down.

Anyway, so here is the low down:

It will be taking place at buffalo creek camp ground near Bailey colorado about an hour outside of Denver. This is a wonderful natural spot (just look at the pictureshttps://webmail.ups.edu/exchweb/img/clear1x1.gif) with easily enough lines to accomodate as many riders as we can throw at it with every thing from sport to Vincent sized moves. Its at fairly low altitude (~6000 ft) so it doesn't get too cold even at night.

Officialy, the dates are from friday august 4th through sunday august 6th. Arrive whenever you want - a couple of the colorado folks will be at the campground as early as friday morning setting up camp and such. Friday will be just setting up camp and riding. On saturday there will be a mini-comp (something like 3 sections for each level ridden a couple of times) with prizes donated by myself and Moment Designs. the rest of the time will be evenly divided between riding and drinking. On sunday there will be an urban ride in Denver or Boulder for all who are interested - more info on that as time goes on.

Prices - The camping will be free, and no entry fees for the comp - though donations in the form of six packs will not be turned down. For food and such you're on your own.

[Bryan]

:bowdown: I am ordering tickets soon. Shall I come on thursday to help set up? Where should I go once I get in to Denver?

[illcore]

i think ill be in colorado for august, but not that date :-/

[TTownJon]

:bowdown: I am ordering tickets soon. Shall I come on thursday to help set up? Where should I go once I get in to Denver?

if you come in on thursday I'm sure we could find a place here in boulder for you to crash. There are many couches and floors available.

[PXride]

FAAACK! Week of finals for summer classes :(

[literocola]

How long of a drive from say C470 and I-25?

And, (if I get permission to go) could somone give me a ride and bring me home for the day?(I will pitch gas/beer/vodka/hooker money) I can't do an overnighter. But should be able to pull a day. 16 hours is all that I would be allowed to pull.

The urban ride, I'll be there for sure.

[beastoftheeast]

the link for more pics didnt work for me? heres a thread with pics though- http://www.observedtrials.net/vb/showthread.php?t=20955&highlight=buffalo+creek. i best had be back from my vacation in time for this :noes:

[Ross]

Be there as much as possible...work friday and saturday...hopefully be there maybe friday night and saturday from 6-7 pm till sunday, I'll have some fresh ink from a few days before and have to go back under the needle on the 7th so that will be interesting. Come one come all...if anyone needs rides from the airport let me know now, I have to plan in advance.

[Mr_Penut]

[greyghost]

Sick

Props for everyone who's organizing!

If I'm around I'll be there

Boulder carpool anyone?

Boulder carpool anyone?
yup.

[greyghost]

yup.

edit: are you in boulder now?

[ZMaeda]

Not gonna be able to make it. If some of you guys are interested the NORBA final is at Snowmass Aspen this year on Saturday August 12th. It would be cool for some of you guys to come out, especially Colorado guys.

[TTownJon]

hmm... I sense a ride happening next week sometime. you in?

[TTownJon]

Not gonna be able to make it. If some of you guys are interested the NORBA final is at Snowmass Aspen this year on Saturday August 12th. It would be cool for some of you guys to come out, especially Colorado guys.

I dont think you are allowed to talk too much judging by that terrigal place.....

[MIKE1968]

jon when can we see what is up for down there? Maybe this sunday?

[TTownJon]

works for me... bring some viddy cameras along?

[MIKE1968]

If you haves one? I want to ride as much as I can..if my shoulder goes out I'll rock the still.

But yeah I haven't been on a camera in a while...buff creek is pretty baller for those things, i could try to ride something.


Anyone have any brakes they could sell me? My rear one doesn't work but I make do on the rocks I ride every day...Big things are at buff creek, wouldn't work out.

[TTownJon]

sickness. Kevin, Mike where are yoooooo?

I have a magura line and a bleed kit if that helps...

[literocola]

Me Mike or that other Mike?

[TTownJon]

either or. 'haint heard nothing from mike C from the springs in forever

[literocola]

I think my pop's is going to give me a ride down there for the day and take pic's while I compete/ ride.

Is the urban ride gonna be Boulder or Denver?

[TTownJon]

hasn't been decided yet. Probably a CU campus sesh. People can see all the spots in the old Cotrials vids.

[Elan]

i want to go, so i probably might make it

[literocola]

i want to go, so i probably might make it

You better make it. I wanna see yer mad skills. Then take your bike off some sweet jumps.

[MIKE1968]

Elan you talking about sunday? If I go will someone help me learn sidehops? I tried to figure them out, but I can't seem to get the pedal kick into it....I just like jump back and can't figure it out.

[Peace]

yayyyy someone else who has been riding trials as long/longer than i have and still cant nail sidehops above bar height.....

sidehops get me angry and depressed.


Peace

[rush]

Bar height? :ugh:

I cant sidehop much above wheel height, and ive been riding for as long as you Peace, I think.

[Peace]

yeah but you have a wife and kid.... you dont get to ride as much.

[TTownJon]

its all in the wrist.

[AndyT]

the limp wrist. I can't figure out the pedal kick either, ANY TIPSZ?!

[Peace]

i kinda got something last night.... i preloaded a shitload, like pretty much sat on the back wheel with my ass for about a second, then burst up... that helped. Limp wrist you say? Im not going to be happy if i destroy my wrists with this technique....

Peace

[breakoutstout]

sounds crackin so far, any of the fort collins crew going? can't remember if elan is from there. where's cole? where's graham? they reading this? going to the comp or OTN days?

[AndyT]

all of the fort collins crew = denver crew now....tides have turned. The one left is kwyle, robbie pfunder will get back from the army in august.

[Bryan]

Where could I/can I crash on thursday night?

[jobottDMB]

Looks like at least Paul and I will be there from Saterday on at least. Possibly later on Friday. Phil might come too if we get all the details worked out.

[TTownJon]

Thorshammer, if you want to come to boulder there is space at my house. I will be heading down to Buff Creek on friday morning. There is a pretty easy bus you can take from DIA.

If you can make it to boulder we have a guest bed you would be welcome too.

[Elan]

im from georgetown, its in the mountains.

[TTownJon]

the word "town" must be used loosely. My car always decides it doesn't want to work as hard as it tries to go up that hill after George"town".

Update on sunday: I'm thinking that a sunday ride in Denver makes the most sense seeing as how it is close to the airport and such. Andy, can you lead a baller ride through there? or are we likely to get cuffed?

[[BMF]Andy]

all of the fort collins crew = denver crew now

I'm still up here in Fort Collins too, although not on my bike as much as I would like to be. I am planning on coming for all of the riding that whole weekend.

as far as I know I think I could...sunday..yeah I think so?

People can crash at my place, as long as I don't get kicked out by then :rofl:

[skibum]

I can donate TONS of beer. Jon, let me know how many people are coming/how much beer you want. Also if people want a certain ale let me know. I can only get good deals on Boulder beer. You may have heard of the popular ones (Buffalo Gold, Hazed & Infused, Mojo, SingleTrack) www.boulderbeer.com (http://www.boulderbeer.com) (doesn't work in mozilla) <- to check out their different types of beer. If you have more specific questions about any of the beers I can answer them for you.

[TTownJon]

I will have around 40 beers as well... damn, this might be overkill....

Yeah, getting a tally would be a good idea. Please PM if you are sure you are coming.

[Elan]

[literocola]

Do we know if the group ride is going to be in Denver or Boulder?
But, I dont know if the trial is going to be up and running for the Sunday ride! It all depends on UPS- How long does standard ground shipping useally take???

As of now it looks like this:

Bars are due to arrive early in the week- Check
Placed order Friday 7/28 for 48mm Echo Rim shipped Ground
Thursday August 3rd is payday- (hopfully Rim has arrived by then) Cash check run over to Alpha bikes buy hub and Mike is going to take the rim home and lace er up overnight and ready for friday.

If all goes according to plan, I am in... if it dosent and it wont, in shit outta luck.

[TTownJon]

Sunday ride will be denver.

you should come anyway. My street bike will be present for anyone who is bikeless.

[literocola]

Indeed, I do have my urban assult/ do it all rig. I was even thinking about bringing both of them.

What time is this ride getting underway?
Like meet at the Hard Rock off 16th at 10 am kinda thing?

was thinking a bit later since we have to pick up camp and all that jazz. more like noonish?

[literocola]

Even better, I will have my cell phone with me, and noon works a lot better, since I will probley get off work Sat. at 11pm.
Then have to bus it to downtown. I bought the express tickets so I can jump on one of them sweet highway busses. Like the one that goes from Boulder to Denver.
I will also give you a call in the morning and touch base!
My cell number is:
720.984.8482
Or Voicemail is:
303.605.9662 - it may be unactive but Im not so sure. It is a free service.

[TTownJon]

:bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:prizes and food provided by tim @ trialsin!!!!

[Elan]

:bowdown: tim

[literocola]

I wont be able to make it.

Webcyclery is out of rims. Plus the director wont let me go on a ride. If only I was level 4. I am level 3.

Bastards!

[MIKE1968]

Don't do drugs

[literocola]

Never have, never will.

[MIKE1968]

That is why you are in a half wayhouse :nono:

[Elan]

:rofl:

[literocola]

No.
I have never had a drug offence.

What I did was Felony Forgery and Theft.

No drugs were involved in my case in any way. All money based.
90% of cases are typically based on drugs, but not mine. I hate drugs, always have and always will.
My mother is addicted to many drugs, and I watched her ruin herself, I chose not to ruin myself in the same manner.
There is nothing mroe that I dispise than drug addicts. They seriously piss me off. I choose to avoid them.

[MIKE1968]

I was saying , if you did drugs you wouldn't be in there.

[literocola]

I shouldnt be in there actually.
Straight out of the CMI directors mouth.
They figgured that I was a case where the DA was setting a standard on what is going to happen to people when they bounce a check in Douglas County.
My luck; I was the standerd setter. Im like a trend setter, but not really.

[skibum]

so what is the updated list now? I need to know how much beer to steal, I mean buy

[literocola]

Nice Ribbon.

[TTownJon]

so what is the updated list now? I need to know how much beer to steal, I mean buy

I'm thinking around 12-15 would be a reasonable estimate. I have ~ 24 beers that I am bringing down.

[literocola]

Nice Ribbon.

[AndyT]

Nice Ribbon.

:ugh:

[tomacropod]

what the fuck is on the first page of this thread which causes me to get a certificate error from the webmail.ups.edu domain?

I demand the offending object be removed or the domain update their fucking certificate.

- Joel

[skibum]

yeah, pretty sure it's the picture
ups IT isn't on top of their shit as far as the SSL (TTownJon sucks)

[TTownJon]

um... oops? how can I fix it?

both of the linked pictures seem to be okay... the link is one I copied from my email account (hence UPS).

edit: wtf I can't edit?

[AndyT]

this couldn't have come at a worse time.

[skibum]

:run:
Just accept the certificate permanently, your web browser just doesn't have the certificate built in, big deal

[literocola]

Oi?

[AndyT]

[Elan]

[AndyT]

Prospects for being at any of the days is very low right now.

[Ross]

I will be there tomorrow around Noon. Andy, you should come down tomorrow if you can.

[Elan]

orly

[guumer]

sooo how was it?

[TTownJon]

fucking lame. whoever put it on is a huge d-bag.

















I had a ton of fun. Comp went well, though I strung the sport and expert lines a bit to hard (will see in the results). Best part was hanging out with all 'yalls (haha, ross is rubbing off on me), drinking in the ghetto colorado springs constructed fort, doing chicks in the butt, bonfire, half fast subs.

Hope all had a good time, as I had a great time putting it on and will do it again next year (and maybe get the details out a bit sooner).

[MIKE1968]

it was amazing.

[MIKE1968]

and its not over...


Wednesday- shit will BLOW UP ... BLOW THE FUCK UP...


hi dive- 10 pm, be there or be square...graham/dolphin/paul/etc etc...things are going off. soz I missed the ride today, working all day and still working for another few hours :(

[TTownJon]

Wednesday will be sick. AM in the Canyon and PM at the high dive. oh wait, I have no idea what the high dive is. where is that?



doing chicks in the butt
OMG don't sensor me! Though I don't find the new one too problematic either...













edit: stoner.

[MIKE1968]

Its on broaaaaaaadway...and ellsworth? Something with an E, 5 or so blocks before alameda.

[MIKE1968]

oh but we are meeting at the lancer lounge first - 7th and grant?? just go down 7th till yous ee people falling.

[Elan]

i have an interview at 9 am on wednesday, can i ride or am i not cool enough?

[FourFortyOne]

HOWD YOU DO BRYAN BENSON

[MIKE1968]

[MIKE1968]

HOWD YOU DO BRYAN BENSON

:ugh:

[Patrick]

[MIKE1968]

[FourFortyOne]

[Elan]

[Elan]

ttown got a lot of video though. i hope he edits my section out :momaru:

[TTownJon]

haha, "YES"

[lucky13]

mmmm video,..

[MIKE1968]

I want to see elans moves :)

[Cole]

Any riding tonight for non 21'ers? Tomorrow, friday? Who's going to Snowmass?

[AndyT]

i have a shoot thurs after work...friday i hope to be riding, realistically i want to ride on thrs but who knows.

[TTownJon]

Friday in Boulder Canyon! water is way down, and its a great time.

I'll be at snowmass.

[AndyT]

FRIday ride at confluence, eye cant wayt...pasty paul come to lipgloss, ttown jon wusses out on all evening events because he drinks arizona iced tea to fit in :squint:

[TTownJon]

you thought it was tea in that can? I drink straight grain alcohol biyatch.

miss some good times?

[TTownJon]

FRIday ride at confluence, eye cant wayt...

Why would you ride confluence for the 100000th time when there are all sorts of better riding to be had in the canyon? afraid to get a little wet?

[lucky13]

wuss

[MIKE1968]

Why would you ride confluence for the 100000th time when there are all sorts of better riding to be had in the canyon? afraid to get a little wet?

I work 65+ hours a week at real jobs, not pedaling subs around boulder with hippies.

6 hours out of a day to ride is not an option.

[MIKE1968]

And of all the places I've ridden in the last 7 years confluence is by far my favorite spot I've ever ridden. :dunno:


Better than buthier, any natural place, anything.

[TTownJon]

I thought you had today off from work:dunno:.

as to confy vs. boulder canyon - to each his own I guess....

[MIKE1968]

If boulder canyon was 10 minutes away I'd be thur...nah ... I work 7 days a week now.

[Ross]

How is the video coming, John?

[beastoftheeast]

it will be out before he leaves for spain which is in sunday:eek3danc:

[lucky13]

Good.

I was watching the Pactrials compilation DVD and wondering when new material was pending.

Sure to please...

[TTownJon]

teaser being compressed right now.


edit: how is that working for you joel? It was finicky on a couple of the dvd players I used.

[AndyT]

In for teaser...did you get any footage of me? I can't remember the last time I was on that side of the camera :noes:

I bet you have a shitload of baller stuff, OTn days, philth, gunnison, etc etc etc.

[TTownJon]

AndyT's dramatic return to the big screen. too bad my internet at home exploded when it was 95% uploaded. Oh well, should be up tonight.

[lucky13]

how is that working for you joel? It was finicky on a couple of the dvd players I used.

I watched most of it on the Fluidride player,.. no problems noted.

I want to go computer shoping with you when you get back (or I need to search threads in off topic) so I can start producing my own soon.

Filming local intermediate solo stuff soon,...
