OTN days 07

[Elan]

so is ttown doing this again? last years was a great success i think. if we start planning this soon, we could have a greater turn out than if we start planning for it in april. i think we should do it in a dryer month, i dont remember when it was? other than that buffalo park was a perfect venue. unless someone wants to do it in cali or east coast..which might be ok, but CO is for OGs, so you are going to have to come up with a good argument for anything outside of co or wyo. :blah: :blah: :blah: :blah: :blah: :blah: :bowdown:

[diamondback2222]

Seattle? Boise? Cali?

[Elan]

boise idaho? wtf?

[literocola]

:rofl:

Since I missed last OTN, I will be there this one. So, lets keep it here in Colorado.

Where all the OG's are.

[Stikman]

I'm there if you 'rado OG pimpsters can sort that shit out soon!!! :)

[Keith Courage]

If its somewhere outside of CO, my chances of making it increase exponentially.
I'm a bitch, pretty much leave vacationing decisions up to the other half.
Since we just went to Montrose in June, it would be hard to convince her to go back, compounded by the fact that it would be like 562 douche bags on bikes( :bigthumb:) I.E. nothing for her to do

[Bryan]

rockport?

[firewrx612]

rockport?

I second that!

[Rob.K]

CANADIA EHHHHHHHHH!

I vote Montreal, very nice city, and close to lots of you americanos. Oh and hot bitches are prominent.

[Elan]

well maybe we should get a list, and then a poll rolling so we can figure it out.

[tybikes]

What about an east coast OTN days and a west coast one? Thunder Rocks where Raccoon Rally is held could be pretty good. Or Rockport. Lots of stuff in New England could be day-tripped.

i think i remember thunder rocks looking awesome from pictures... im waiting to hear from jon tollerud on this though, seeing as he is the guy who made it all happen last year, he might have plans already?

[brian_E]

i was wondering if i'd ever see those thunder pics..

[firewrx612]

i was wondering if i'd ever see those thunder pics..

Yeah, I wasn't too psyched on how they came out, plus I took 200 or so. I'll get them all done eventually.

[pan man]

thunder rocks.. respect

many would come from ontario and quebec

[Elan]

i like rockport more than thundercocks.

[Keith Courage]

i like rockport more than thundercocks.

+5

Moss scares me. we don't have that here.
Rockport looks much more, hmmm....Skill varied?
As in, you could blow at riding or be amazing AND still have fun.

[MIKE1968]

moss is the greatest thing ever in the world.

east cost ftw.




You need a place that you can camp at, that has nice weather, nice....amenities... close to a big city...

[WhiteRavenKS]

if you do an east coast one, make it around the time where the vermont nationals/unknown ec world cup, and MSA wc would be... or at least that would be convenient for me.

[brian_E]

happy off topic..

why aren't we doing a motorama in that indoor colorado spot where the nats thing was/vincent thing was..

k back on..

rockport kills thunder rocks.. but i doubt they'd let anyone camp there.. pretty sure there are near by bars we could camp at though..

[firewrx612]

This is definitely true. I have fun there and I suck. There's stuff for everyone.

As for camping, there's a camp ground not too far in Gloucester I believe.

Darrel: It's on the way to Wingaersheek. Can you camp there? I know you can RV there.

[Chader]

count me in for CO/left coast location

[trauma100]

Yea theres a campground thats not to bad... http://www.cape-ann.com/campsite/ and theres riding all around the immediate area as well ...Rockport is maybe 15 minutes by car for the Campground...not to mention miles Of shoreline with yummy granite and a kick ass beach literally 1 minute from the campground entrance.

Theres also lots of Northshore type riding directly behind the campground... a close personal friend of mine owns the land and it's rideable by permission only .....so who ever comes down get's a free pass.... theres lots of technical single track and about 20 or so bridges, ladders, skinny's and such to ride if you want some trail action. http://www.dieselbikes.com/trails/bat/bat_trails.htm (check the media page for vids)

Boston is 45 minutes From Gloucester and is chock full of urban and college whores. plus there's a train that leaves every hour to shuttle your drunk arse home.

Rockport is well....... Insane natty.. all you have to do is look at Erik's pics...but even they dont do the place any justice ...you get down there and it's overwelming how much there is to ride and the shore line goes on for miles...It's truely kick ass.

[Elan]

im liking the right coast idea. mostly because ive never been east of salina kansas other than on an airplane. how is mid august weather around there?

[firewrx612]

Hot, but there's potential for a nice breeze off the ocean.

There's so much kick ass rock riding up there, it's totally overwhelming. You'll get wood as you start driving up Rt. 128. Granite everywhere.

[trauma100]

The Best of everything here ...Natty, Urban ,Trail riding/northshore , Big city less than an hour away, Beach right down the street and "The perfect strom" was shot here:noes:

Do the Math












I would push for Early September things start to Quiet Down a bit from the summer tourist season and the weather is still awsome

[KeepRollin]

Yeah you'd definitely want to do Rockport either early or late. The tourists are well, annoying..... quote little annoying kid "Drop down again! Do it again!"

[PXride]

Ditto to what's been said.

+1 for Rockport.

[Bryan]

Yeah you'd definitely want to do Rockport either early or late. The tourists are well, annoying..... quote little annoying kid "Drop down again! Do it again!"
Dude, all's you gotta do is bunnyhop.

September? :umno: College happens in September.

[TTownJon]

interesting, I was just planning on making a post about this.

I am definitely going to do the Buffalo creek thing again. I had a good time doing it last year, and I figure with a little bit of planning we could get a much bigger turn out.

Its a good spot, and I have already been sending some emails about getting some prizes together.

Just gotta figure out the date. I want to do it basically the same weekend, but I can't find all the information on the pertinent schedules (NATS, other MTB races, etc) so I didn't want to pin down a particular weekend yet.

I see nothing wrong with doing two. I would fly out to rockport in september (graduated whatwhat:wavey: )

[WhiteRavenKS]

no colorado springs indoor spot anymore- it turned into a strip mall or something. totally lame. anyways, just fyi, that spot's dead. if you come to colorado, dont ride indoors anyways.

[guumer]

is rockport in Maine? if so then i would probly like to go if it happens and probly others from Quebec would

[firewrx612]

The one we are talking about is in Massachusetts. It's pretty close to the Maine border and wouldn't be much further of a drive.

[guumer]

well i would like to go very much. so if it is there i will try my best to go.

[mcdub]

in for rockport.Dunno If all still have the wagon or own my own by then.

But im in.

Hold 2 otn days for the east and west that way everyone can play and both have there fair share of photographers.

Im sure james would come out to rockport aswell.

[Elan]

mcdub, youre not invited.








































:momaru: im kidding, its open to anyone who rides bike.

[MegamoMidwest]

note: that's two wheel - not one.

[Mr_Penut]

panman, you down for a road trip?

[mcdub]

Eran you slut.If Im ever in co,I will remember to kick your kittah.

[trauma100]

[Giant1118]

1 more in for Rockport from Quebec

[MultiRider]

I'm in for Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Texas, New Mexico, Nebraska, Kansas -- any place within about a 12 hour drive of Denver.

[Acolyte]

2 for rockport, maybe more. 2 for anywhere really.

[TheGhost]

+1 for rockport

il try to make it +3

[Elan]

we should have 2, like ttown said. colorado one same plan as last year i guess, and we can have the eastern one later?

[Stikman]

Around what date was the Colorado held last year??

[Elan]

i dcont remmber

[Bryan]

August 5-8 ish.

[PXride]

Maybe someone with the forum power should create a sticky poll with the dates/locations/etc...?

[mcdub]

we should have 2, like ttown said. colorado one same plan as last year i guess, and we can have the eastern one later?

Bingo.Plus the weather will have cooled down aswell.
Fuck the heat.

[Keith Courage]

so my Gf thinks rockport is tight.
You can definitely count me and her in for Rockport.

[RyanMcVicker]

i vote something midwest/east coast i will be more likely to make it!

[trauma100]

I will do some scouting for those who dont want to Camp ..there's a Multitude of Hotel's and Bed & Brrekfatzz around ...... and I can take a few at my pad as well .....but suprise sex is manditory :naughty:


Edit: real ballers will sleep on the Beach!



One day of urban with pub crawl after in Boston is Manditory

[mcdub]

All camp out aswell.

And get fucking shit faced,just tie me down to something so I dont droun myself.

[pan man]

Andrew, I'm down for a road trip as long as your mom lets us use her car

Rockport's not bad, I'm in.

[pan man]

pub crawl in boston sounds sweet. We can ride from bar to bar. shotty not watching the bikes

[Mr_Penut]

[trauma100]

[Elan]

ill beat up your kids ;)

[jamesb]

I'm in for the east coast one. I always wanted to ride Rockport. Looks so good. September will be hard for me though...a tad earlier?

[eturt9]

My gf lives in Hartford. I'll probably be able to make it.

[rush]

I might have some more money by then?

Do you think anyone would pay money for a video of me raping cats? :x:

[mcdub]

[guumer]

depends on the price?

[music_maj_34]

Looking forward to this ... whatever date you guys decide on...I'll be there.

It would be pretty cool if someone could design some t-shirts for these events each year! (Just a thought)

I see nothing wrong with doing two. I would fly out to rockport in september (graduated whatwhat:wavey: ) Not updated for 2007 yet, but here's the link to the Winter Park series. Would be best if you avoided the dates for those events: www.epicsingletrack.com (http://www.epicsingletrack.com)

its possible, someone on here has to hae a hook up. i know patrick does.

[lucky13]

Seattle? Boise? Cali?

I'm not done with Columnaid Trials park,.. maybe Seattle '09? Honestly we'd be better off with Vancouber in the NW,.. but there are competitions for that. CRANKWERX FTW!

So all I ask is that the date be a reasonable amount of time away from crankwerx.

There's been some talk of a few of us going to Japan in August? I think I may be out of my league on that though,.. keeping it interstate will be more riding for the $$dorrah$$.

[Matt]

keeping it interstate will be more riding for the $$dorrah$$.

but less culture :dunno:

[Elan]

but less culture :dunno:


:werd: i didnt go to france to ride my bike. ive never been eastcost either.

[MIKE1968]

gotta go to the eastcoast :bowdown:

[Matt]

:werd: i didnt go to france to ride my bike. ive never been eastcost either.
Glad to hear, that would be the dumbest thing ever. France = :bowdown:

[MIKE1968]

But you can only ride those rocks once...



or any time you want to in your whole life.... :ugh:

[hophopsnap]

I wish I had $$$ to travel to teh CO for this. :wtc:

I should start a fundraiser?? Id probably get jumped and shit tho..ahaha:ugh:

[Elan]

just do it

[Acolyte]

Is there a date for this yet?

[Elan]

no. make one

[lucky13]

seriously,..

do it.

Or wait for Jon to do it?

[Acolyte]

no. make one

Are we shooting for August still? I have limited ability to leave my job between the 10 and the 18th, due to others taking vacation.

If we're shooting for weekends, I'd say 5,6,7(preferably) or 24,25,26. I may have a really hard time making 10,11,12. Any other weekend in any other summer month should work though.

However, I am willing to try to make 10,11,12 if it works better for others.

[lucky13]

No we are not shooting for August.

Last year this was held in July right?

This year EastOTNdays is shaping up to be August.

Crankwerks/WestOTN will be early July like last year if I remember correctly.

[Elan]

ttown wanted it around the same time as last years, so we are shooting for early august. its either going to be 8-4/5 or 8-11/12 unless it is to be in late july, which could workd. if i were you id pm ttownjon and ask him what his plans are if he doesnt reply in here soon.

otn days east should be late august, right before school starts. 8-18/19 or 8-25/26

[Acolyte]

Early august OTN CO and late August East should work great. OTN West should be OK too, if it is in late July.

Now I just need money. Time to start stashing away.

[lucky13]

But you can only ride those rocks once...



or any time you want to in your whole life.... :ugh:


I dunno, I'm already thinking of bailing on the Japan idea. For this year.

I've got culture coming out my ass, it really is the amount of riding with friends for $$$ that I'm interested in. Japan would be baller but for the price of one trip there I could get all three OTN days and pick up a beater car for local camping. hmmm pretty much have my mind made up it seems...

[Elan]

Early august OTN CO and late August East should work great. OTN West should be OK too, if it is in late July.

Now I just need money. Time to start stashing away.


:werd: :werd: :werd:

[TTownJon]

sorry for being away - been travelling all over and away from the comp. OTN Dayz colorado is going to be aug 3-5 unless there is some major conflict with OTN east.

[Elan]

no conflict, east is in late august.

[TTownJon]

its official then August 3-5 in buffalo creek for the colorado one.

[Acolyte]

its official then August 3-5 in buffalo creek for the colorado one.

I'm there, probably with one more rider.

[lucky13]

Somone post it on the calander then. I think Giventofly was the guy in charge of that.

August 3-5 Buffalo Creek.

[giventofly]

Somone post it on the calander then. I think Giventofly was the guy in charge of that.

August 3-5 Buffalo Creek.

Event validiated in calendar....but it needs waaaaay more information. as info comes, please PM me, and I'll edit the calendar post.

Thanks.

[dkoppric]

sweet, ill be in colorado at this time for work.

[trialsrider50]

sorry for bumping the old thread but if a guy were to fly into denver for this, would there be cool coloradoans to squire him about town? or am I stuck driving?

[lucky13]

I'll go in halfway for a rental van.

[darkside]

I'm seriously thinking of heading over for this.

I'm going to be in Whistler for Crankworx until the 1st (wednesday). Might find someway to just fly straight to Colorado and hang out for a couple days before this goes down.

[trialsrider50]

I'll go in halfway for a rental van.

you mean fly in and rent one. I might be able to pull that. I think it would cost me a lot less to drive but it's a matter of giving up 14 hrs of my life each way. time is money.

[lucky13]

Yea, Zeb was telling me that it's one cancerous drive. Too much time wasted.

Work is starting to play out for me too, so in and out weekends are where it's at.

[TTownJon]

I got you fools covered. Im living in seattle this summer, but I will be back in colorado for that week.

[trialsrider50]

now the question is, how do I get 4 liters of everclear on the plane? I'll bring my cowboy hat and boots this time joel. And my tent if you wanna play hide and go broke back mountain. :naughty:

[Chader]

I put in for the time off already. I'm driving down on Thursday and back Monday. It's about 9-10 hours from Billings which is an easy drive in a day.

I'm also bringing my Sherco so I can hook up with the moto gang for a ride while I'm down there.

[Free-Ride-Junkie]

I'm there, probably with one more rider.

I am still definitely in the "Noob" status of trials but if I can get the time off of work I would love to head out. I will probably be driving from about Chicago if I go (caravan Acolyte?). I will probably also stay for a week or two and ride some DH on the full suspension bike as well....... :eek3:

I'll take my chances with rapist bears first. LOL

I dunno about that everclear either,.. that stuff was crazy. I have to mind my p's and q's and that was nutz with just a swig.

Not too sure about the caravan. Probably mooching some frequent flier miles and shipping my bike out there.

That's cool. Couldn't hurt since you are so close....
