otn days 07: east

[Elan]

well there seems to be a lot of interest in riding rockport, so i think we should make it a date if everyone agrees on the spot. last years was august 4-6 here colorado, im pretty sure jon wants to have this years colo otn days at around the same dates. im thinking late august or early september for rockport, so if peeople want to do both, they can. lets hear what dates sound good to yalls.

[firewrx612]

August 24th-26th

I'm on vacation :joshers:

[brian_E]

i'll guarantee it ends up being the same new england crew whatever the date.. why go through all the polls/discussions/arguments..

sorry for the pessimism..

[guumer]

no it wont there are some people from Canada who are planing to go.
try and make the date good for james b cause you all wana ride with him and he lives far

[Giant1118]

Word to this. Fuck september anythingth


I'll guarantee it ends up being the same new england crew whatever the date.. why go through all the polls/discussions/arguments..
More than one person had similar pessimism about OTN days last year. It was far from a failure.

[Keith Courage]

Well I need to save some cash-monnies, and I need about 3 or so weeks to put in a request at work.
So really, I'm down ANY time after March 1 :hs:

GG.

[TheGhost]

I get done with school in june so anytime after july sounds good to me.

[brian_E]

i don't know exact dates but i do know..

end of august/beg of september = worlds
end of july = crankworks
beg of july = ttc

while that may not be the majority it might be wise to consider it..

oh and big ert to canada/ians..

[Bryan]

when do you anticipate people to be leaving for worlds, Brian? Maybe we could do it aug 17-19? What about labor day weekend?

[Mr_Penut]

university crew will be going backt o school aboot that time

sometime in august is dece

[MIKE1968]

[trauma100]

[Acolyte]

If you look real closely Tom is in that picture. To give you an idea of scale.

[Keith Courage]

you know, I thought he was a small patch of snow.
I had to get like 4 inches from my monitor to identify that white spot as a person.

Seems like you could only ride that spot, ever, and still not get bored?

[eturt9]

took me a good minute to find him. wheres waldo?

[firewrx612]

That's about half of it. Behind the camera is at least that much, maybe more.

We should probably wait a while until events such as the Worlds are set, so we don't conflict.

[RyanMcVicker]

what about this place called rockway glen or whatever in this video: http://www.observedtrials.net/vb/showthread.php?t=19095&highlight=Rockway+Glen

I'm sure...coldest that it gets here is high 20's at night. Rarely it's below 30 during the day. I rather have a cold weather for riding though.

your talking bout Thunder Rock. thatz were Racoon Rally is held.

I think Rockport would be better cause it's closer to a city and i've never been there.

[RyanMcVicker]

no that video has two spots in it.. not just thunder rock

but yea rockport sounds like the best

[mcdub]

Were exacly is rockport ??
And do I need to bring a passport ??? ( dont travel much... )

[RyanMcVicker]

isnt it near boston, mass?

[bidaci]

Rockport is just north of Boston in Massachusetts. As far as the passport, starting the end of January 2007 if you fly into the US, you will need a passport. Not sure about driving in from Canada though.

[Bryan]

Yeah, you need a passport.

[music_maj_34]

I thought I posted this once already, but I don't see it...Oh well...

Whatever day you guys choose.. I'll be there!

It would be cool if someone could make up some cool OTN days T- shirts!

[mcdub]

Allright thanks.I need a new one enyway.

[ko]

Yoo pat, You dont need a passport just your licence and birth certificate. I go into the states all the time with just that.

[mcdub]

Chris come with jk and your posse.

[mhoulmont]

Starting 2007 you'll need a passport to fly.
2008 you'll need one to drive as well.

[WhiteRavenKS]

lots of folks that probably dont ride trials will be on the east coast around the MSA world cup time and for where ever they decide to have the other WC round. ill probably be out there around then fo sho. i'd like to ride that spot whether it's for otn days or not.

[Keith Courage]

Maybe its too early...
But I looked up prices on Orbitz, Cheaptickets.com, and travelocity, and they were all like 250 /person roundtrip from TPA.

Colorado is like a lot farther and I bought a ticket shortly before I was leaving for only like 75 bucks more.
Does anyone else feel that 250 a person is ridiculous?

They really don't charge based on distance. But yeah it's usually cheaper than that. Try different days, and yeah, it's probably too far out.

The best I eve got was $59 each way, non-stop from Boston to Ft. Myers on JetBlue.

[trauma100]

Ive payed $325 round trip to fly from Boston to Munich.... and $750 and $600 ..and so on... airfair Prices change minute to minute.. keep checking

[MIKE1968]

what airport are we looking at flying into? I could possibly fly to nyc and get a car there...I'll be 25 then so I can rent stuff.. half way to 30...holler :ugh: :hsugh: :wtc:

[firewrx612]

I hate to break it to you but that's actually 5/6 of the way to 30.

Fly into Logan.

[brian_E]

i've found direct flights from denver to bradley too.. still a 2 hour drive after u hit hartford doh..

[firewrx612]

Providence and Manchester are options also

[brian_E]

please don't be more helpful than me..

[trauma100]

Manchester might be a little cheeper.... I can pic a nigga up

Most should fly into logan.... then you can just jump on the train and it will take you right into Gloucester... then I can shuttle people ...I have two cars So that wont be an problem...unless you smell like ass

[MIKE1968]

I'm going to stop showering right now :bowdown:

[lucky13]

:x: $345 nonstop from Seattle for the last week of August. Now lets play the waiting game and watch the boards,.. (Koxxdays '06 I waited till pretty late and it was $500 roundtrip Paris.)

[PXride]

if people are going to bradley I can pick someone up too.

[mikeschiavone]

I've got family in Boston, but they might move by then. Is there a place I can crash at? Preferably a fun place?

[MIKE1968]

You can always crash on my crotch

please don't be more helpful than me..

Sorry Bobby.

I have to plan way in advance.

[lucky13]

I might have missed something but is there something wrong with early June? College folks will just be getting out of schoolz and will be juicing for riding..... or maybe that's just me :)

[firewrx612]

I might have missed something but is there something wrong with early June? College folks will just be getting out of schoolz and will be juicing for riding..... or maybe that's just me :)

Didn't we think that the rocks would be too populated with kids and such? I was thinking the crowds seem to be a little smaller in late August.

[trauma100]

June's a bad time to do anything around here due to the tourist influx.. the population double's and it's a nightmare.... Halibut point will be Grand central station at that time ...traffic is brutal... things quite down a bit around Aug/sept.

[Elan]

i have aug 15-21 off, it would be cool to make it in there :x:

[trauma100]

I have a final in Aug. not sure of the date yet ...find out this Saturday... Untill then I'm tied down without release...after that it's game on.

I just need to do some footwork on where everyone wants to stay.. sent an e-mail to the campground yesterday about the group area ..and I will post some shiz on local hotels..theres a dece one right on the beach thats not to spensive http://www.capeannmotorinn.com/ but you can google Gloucester Ma. and Rockport Ma. and check for lodgingzz...I should be able to put up 4 or so peeps if my house bid goes through...two at the moment .

I have a spot for a Bonfire/keg in the mix at a friends ..he works for Sinister cycle's and said that we can party there as long as no faggot Trial biker's show up :rofl:

[mcdub]

Enytime before sept is good for me.

Oh wait no will care if I show up or not....

[lucky13]

Oh noez the emo!!!!!!!

You said something about camping on a beach?

Dibs for your yard if it get's crowded, Darrel.

[Elan]

dibs for ed gildea's gf's bedroom

[Mr_Penut]

i wouldnt go in sept

augustus may be another story

[mcdub]

I know it sounds odd.But I can take someone with me without there bike ( bassicly if you throw your bike with someone who doesnt have eny room )

I can fit you.

[mcdub]

More like that hatch only opens from the inside and 2 bikes is just way to much to dirty/tear a recaro.

[mekanic305]

Sweet!...I'll be there, any date should work for me...any word yet on where exactly we will be meeting/riding?

[Keith Courage]

i know its still early, but we really should try to solidify a date.
That way people can have a concrete goal for purposes of saving money, time off from work, creating a realistic budget, etc etc.

Trauma, take me fishing! please! I have a medium action setup I'll bring.
WTf do you fish for up there? I've watched "Guide House: Montauk" but I don't even know where that is and I can never remember what they fish for.
I'm all about med/light action fishing for 30 lb fish.

[Matt]

Aug 24-26 is the final date? And we fly into where? Logan?

[mcdub]

hows the car theft over there ??

I think it would just be smarter to rent a car.Much cheaper on gas aswell.

[firewrx612]

Logan, most likely. You can also fly into Manchester NH if you can find a cheaper flight into there. Depends on where you're staying. Rockport itself is probably half way in between the two. If you want the city experience, just fly into Logan. I can pick you up in a big red truck:D

[firewrx612]

hows the car theft over there ??

I think it would just be smarter to rent a car.Much cheaper on gas aswell.

Rockport is a quiet affluent seaside town, I would say there is virtually none. In fact they might not let a lowrider VW in to the town :sadwavey:

But yeah, might be cheaper to rent.

[Elan]

if the 25th 26th is final, my being htere is about 50/50. :wtc:

[mekanic305]

Are there hotels in the area or are we camping or what?

[Stikman]

I am keen to come over from the UK for these two weekends of boozing, but need an idea of how much a flight from Colorado to Mass will be, and also what sort of prices I will be looking at for accomodation in the two states. Any rough ideas?? Cher.

[trauma100]

if the 25th 26th is final, my being htere is about 50/50. :wtc:sup with that? :(

Are there hotels in the area or are we camping or what?
theres camping...I'm working on getting a group area set up..and theres hotels as well... just google "gloucester lodging or Rockport lodging"

Aug 24-26 is the final date? And we fly into where? Logan?
I would stay an extra day or two if you can...just to see the local area...Boston bars etc.

what ever is cheeper flight wise...manchester is about an hour from Rockport/Gloucester but you need not worry about transportation to and from :Wavey:
hows the car theft over there ??I will keep an eye on your car for you....VW's float right?

[Matt]

Its still something I'm going to have to think about... to be honest I could really care less about the riding. Maybe while you guys ride I'll sleep one off, then we can all meet up for drinks :rofl:

[hophopsnap]

Id be down if I basically wasn't the farthest thing away from this place. I'm like 10 miles from the ocean now. gehY! Id go if someone from california was driving but no one rides here anymore.

i have august 15th-21st off for long change anyways. to make it the next week, id have to use vacation time i dont know if i will have by then. ill prolly make it to, hopefully. if someone comes up with a date we need to post or sticky on the front page.

[Keith Courage]

ok so...
Aug 24th - 26th.. sounds good.
I'll keep an eye out on airfare etc but I'll probably be there for 5 days at least, 7 the most.
Day or so before, day or so after.

[mcdub]

I also need a serious final date.

Cause Im also going to jersey and maryland.
So the sooner the better for me.

We could definitely get TRA out here.

I was just talking to him last night about a trip he's taking to some eastern european country (I already forgot where he's going :rofl: ). He said they're just gonna pay his plane ticket and give him a place to stay. He'll go pretty much anywhere.

So if you guys really wanna get him here, start a pool.

I'll start by offering to throw in $50

And if you need a cash collection location, I can be that repository (not that kind of repository, toby :squintrofl:).

I'll send him a link to this, he can comment if he wants.

just searched expedia... looks like flights are about $700 from Norway and $2300 from Sydney, AUS.

[mcdub]

I know its not much.But I'll give 20$.

matt vs tra


I've seen them both. TRA is much more jumpy and spastic, matt is larger over all. Drunk - matt would crush a sober TRA. Really drunk TRA would just whine about how much he wishes he had a girl and cry, or try to smoke some ganj in hyands car. Both moderately drunk, i think either way anyone normal sized nearby would get hurt.

[lucky13]

Yea,. TRA has FOCUSED energy,.. not huge at all,.. hell I'm as large as him, but have a fraction of the riding skill.

Never met Matt, but his reputation leads me to believe he is a juicer. :momaru:

[TRA]

Well , im training 15 hours in the gym every week now .. ;) im growing

Anyways .. get me some support and i will come, but where should i take a plane to then ? i need to know to check ..

I need to come, so i can get really drunk and whine about girls . Also i want to sit on Andrew . Like he was a little girl ;)

[Elan]

ill throw $50 in the TRA pool. fly into logan airport, boston massachusetts.

[Acolyte]

I'll put in $50 too. Like Joel said, OTN paypal?

[Matt]

We can do OTN paypal, but we'll lose a significant amount of money transferred :dunno:.

TRA: the airport code is BOS, the dates of the event are August 24-26.

[tybikes]

I hope my work situation will allow me to attend. It'd be cool to see a really top notch rider on our home turf.

I'm assuming the rest of our Boston/Northeast gang will be there, right?

I'll pitch in more $$$ if needed.

[Elan]

i talked to thomas this morning, seems like he is really interested in coming out. his local airport code is BGO, from Bergen, norway. if anyone can find better deals, i found $804. of course they dont have to be bought now, we all know how the prices fluctuate. im thinking of pulling a week long vacation for this one, anyone else wanna do the same? share some hotels/car rentals ftw.

[MIKE1968]

elan, we should do like 7-10 days...start in NYC at my parent house and shit.


Get matt on board for the NYC part...holy moly...

[TRA]

go go go ! ;)

[Matt]

How about this, I'll match biggest donor for Tom's ticket, up to half the price of the flight (for obvious mathematical reasons).

Tonk, my plans for this trip don't relaly include riding :momaru:. I'm planning on hitting up boston and NYC and I'll definitely have a rental car. But I'm not a chauffeur :o

HOWEVER, this is supa busy season for me at work... a few I can skate out a thursday/friday and maybe a monday/tuesday the following week, but man is that pushing it. I'll buy my flight here soon just so I'm committed and I'll see.

have we decided on the 24-26th? Elan, can you make the 24-26th? If you can't make the 24-26th, I'm not going at that time.

[MIKE1968]

what thefuck is riding, ditto on that. i don't waste time doing that on vaca

[Matt]

Oh, and someone out there is going to have to put Tom up... I'm not paying for his hotel too :rofl:

So I guess unless someone offers to do that, it could be a no go for him?

what thefuck is riding, ditto on that. i don't waste time doing that on vaca

we should get hotels together then.

Are you bringing your bike?

no bike.

[MIKE1968]

no more discussion of these plans. take it to the mod forum, i dont want the paparazzi following us

[Elan]

i can make hte 26th, ill just ahve to save up my vacation time until then, which is going to be hard. haha

[Elan]

im probably bringing my bike, but i have a place to store it in boston, so that shouldnt be a big deal.

[Matt]

i can make hte 26th, ill just ahve to save up my vacation time until then, which is going to be hard. haha
don't be of african persuasion, but like Andrew says lets take it to the mod forum :o

[Elan]

[trauma100]

Tom can crash at my house..as long as he doesnt mind my 3yo poking him in the eye first thing in the morning.. I can store bikes and shit here as well so no worries if you guys want to travel w/o them

[mcdub]

Hide my car for the weekend.

I'll let you drive it if you dont wrap it around a poll.
And the ocean does not count :rant:

[firewrx612]

I can host Thomas. No 3 year old, but I do have a spare room with cable. Only problem is I'm 1 hr away from Rockport but in Boston(not downtown) and close to airport. Also I'm close to a skate park and some urban riding. Up to him.

[Matt]

Well thats two offers for hosting TRA, he can decide... but that at least gives him a place to stay.

[trauma100]

No 3 year old, but I do have a spare room with cable.[I'm coming over with my pillow and toof brush!
