KOXX DAYS 2007

[trialsin usa]

Well, if you have the time and the dime, this is the eurofest.......

[Moment Designs]

will any americans make it out? The only reason I go is for the people, definitely not the riding.

[Patrick]

If by chance I'm out there around the same time again, I'll definitely rent a car and make it back to Buthiers. I won't know until Feb though...

[trials-online]

andrew if you are going to make the trip count me in as one more of the original hashbash group....

any others thinkin they wanna go???

[Elan]

if i go it will only be for koxxdays, fuck koxx camp. and i will be flying in on the 29th of march and staying for probably a week after.

1% chance of me going at this point.

[PXride]

school :greddy:

[digby]

i fuck koxx camp.


GO AMERICA!!!

[Bryan]

count me in

how do you get off school?

[Elan]

GO AMERICA!!!

DO IT FOR AMERICA.

im just saying that it isnt worth it. last years koxx kamp sucked. the pros wouldnt ride with you, no one actually taught anyone anything. and the food was absolutely horrible.

05 koxx kamp, at least the pros would ride with youy and serg would take all the time you needed to teach you somthing. and hte food was good.

:werd:

The only way you could possibly make it worth while is if you rent a van, camp with the Brits, and make your own food. If you can do this for under $2000 you are the man.

Otherwise,.. I'm putting my monies on the Japan trip. BIU WORLD ROUND FTW!

[ChrisB]

its looks like some Canadians might be coming this year.

[afrobot]

If no americans attend. THE TERRORISTS HAVE WON!!!!

[TRA]

If you all have ideas to improve next KOXXDAYS, then dont whine about it here, send emails to KOXX telling them how it should be.

If they do as the public says it might be the best koxxdays ever? but they need your info.

pro`s to ride more with public
better food(what food should it be then?)
better weather
serg beeing more active in teaching

any more?

'05 the food was "fantastic". '06 the food was absolutely inedible, I have no idea why it changed but it wasn't good. I didn't really care as long as I found things in town...not food things.

[Mr_Penut]

i've got class up my ass

[jamesb]

I am thinking of going, money is the major issue...

Any canadians know how much money it usually is to go for the full week?
If I go I want to get the most riding possible, so I would do the koxx camp? Place to stay?

Thanks!

Easier said that done, who is fluent in French?

[literocola]

Like French hookers doing unspeakable things with Bamboo?

[Moment Designs]

mmm...more like substances that look like tar.

[Stikman]

Free ganj at the door upon entry??

I wanted to go, but don't get into the UK until the end of March. :(

What's this trip to Japon you are talking about Lucky??

It is about CAD$700-800 for the return flight. I wouldn't bother with Koxx Camp dorms, they are a waste of money.

You have two options:

option 1 - on a strict budget
Bring a tent and camp for free. There are showers on site, but bring your own towel(s). There is a good pizza place and a small grocery 10 minutes bike ride from Buthier. This is all you really need food-wise.

cost:
-train from airport to Buthier - i dunno maybe 10 euros each way
- food, per day - 10-15 euros per day depending on how much you eat.
- Competition - 25 euros for the comp, something like that.

total cost, flight and accomodations, food, comp : CAD$1000-1200 per person


option 2 - cheap

When I went, I rented a car in Paris and stayed at a hotel about 20 minutes away from Buthiers. The cost of the hotel was 35 euros a night, and the room (very small but clean) sleeps up to (barely) three people. There are several grocery stores where you can buy food. The car was about 50 dollars per day.

total cost, assuming you have three people to split the cost of the hotel and the car: around CAD$1400 per person

[lucky13]

I'm just bent out of shape cause I spent too much time/money in Paris.

What JK said FTW

[Moment Designs]

I wouldn't trade my night experiences in koxx days (camp) for anything in the world.

[lucky13]

...oh shit,.... it's da CAAPPPSSSS!

no nigga, it really is da cops.

[Moment Designs]

I had multiple shotguns and machine guns pointed at me.

[Elan]

:h5:

[Moment Designs]

:werd: worth $2,000 just a night let alone 4-5 nights...or 3 weeks.

Cool,

So is riding Buthiers during the training camp free if you tent? You only pay for the cabins?

[lucky13]

Sure,...

I had heard that they were supposed to pay for tenting as well,.. but it sounded like the UK camp just did what they wanted.

Any Trialsforum guys care to comment?

[Elan]

of course koxx wants you to pay them for camping there, but no one can do anything about it if you just roll in and camp over the hill with the brits and ride all day in the legedary buthiers for free wiht riers youve only seen in videos and maybe in your gay dreams. you can also just show up and eat their food, if you think you can stomach it. its owrth it though, like andy said, and not because of koxx, because of the people woh show up and make it a good time.

[lucky13]

Now that I know better from last year,... I'm thinking it over. I'd be great to see everyone again. Brits, Danes, T-rizzle, Ohler, CO punks, PATRICK,..LOL Dave Herr hiking his gear in a cardboard box for just the competition to throw down,.. yea,.. good times.

Don't forget carsinn!

[Elan]

original 5, go!

[Moment Designs]

:bowdown:

[Darren]

its looks like some Canadians might be coming this year.

a few Canadians went last year Dave,JK,Bodo,Carsinn and myself.

the terrain is incredible for riding, and you will never get a chance to ride with the as many pros at once ever again.

This 10-day trip was 500$ cheaper than my grad trip to cancun for 7 days. The food was disgucting, mostly dry pasta and bread, but hopefully they have taken care of that.

And ya, there is a good time to be had at night if you know the right people:bigthumb: .

[Moment Designs]

muahaah i barely remember when we got darren out one night....or two? I dont know... :rofl:

[Darren]

Darren: He wants to know how much
Andrew: tell him 40 euros
Darren::drool: :eek: :eek5:
Ed: dude, ask him what those huge wrenches are for!

shortly after came STAT MAPLES!!!!!!

haha one of the best nights EVAR

[Moment Designs]

i roll 40 euros onlyz...wrenches don't scur me

[modtire]

I think my fav part was Ed filling the sink one night, or maybe how great Elan's better half and I got along.

Camp Britania is the way to go.

OTN days seems like a better idea to me, but the riding in France is pretty mind blowing good, funny how most of the folks posting here didn't do too much of that.

[Moment Designs]

You can ride bikes anywhere.

[modtire]

You can get messed up anywhere.

[Moment Designs]

With good friends from japan, england, the netherlands, belgium....no, not really.


+ you are friends with them from hanging out, not riding bikes. Or I could have stayed with one person the whole time and try not to meet anyone, just ride my bike on some rocks...I didn't even have a bike there though.


Life experiences > some training on a bike. I could go back any time and ride those rocks. I could never go back and have the same experiences- same goes for the year before.



Kind of like if you went to college and never went out, only studied for 4 years. Waste of a life.

yea, you two :nono:

[breakoutstout]

the first year we went we all rode the fuck out of those rocks and still had the best time ever.

you just didn't want to haul your bikes around again !

[Elan]

[Moment Designs]

I took the helm this trip, everything went smoothly :coold:



Though I was a little worried in Greece when I couldn't speak any of the language or read anything at all :rofl: that was REDICKU LOUS.

[Elan]

except when i told ed and james to get out of the car really fast.

[lucky13]

YEa,.. I felt kinda dumb for buying those all day RER tickets when we were just going one way to Bruthiers,..

[Darren]

so who is actually going back this year? Andy? Elan? Joel? Dave?

[Elan]

nope.

[jamesb]

I've given up...again.

[Darren]

I want to go , I just dont want it to suck

[Moment Designs]

Saw Serge posting so I thought I'd give him props where props are due:

He would teach if you were persistent and stuck with the young French crowd when they would go out after breakfast. He helped me analyze my pedal technique, wheelbase spacing/placement, and how to put more body language into sidehops.

All that and he was very patient with my inability to speak French. :x:

...OH and sitting on the steps of the main building with Serge, Modtire, beer and cigarettes talking about the old skool of European trials was BALLER.

[lucky13]

:hsugh:

[Elan]

1: have better food
