There will be a piss test for steriod abuse.

[Elan]

[Keith Courage]

Drinking a beer will help my riding. :dunno:
I have anxiety and stuff....

But for sure, I will be there.
If I have to, I won't get a job until after the 24th. :rofl:

[redworm]

I ride PRO I have sport skills count me in.

[3rd Degree]

[WhiteRavenKS]

dang. mt st anne world cup trip will be right then for me.

if you do rd two, i hope im in town. this is a dope format for a comp. especially for the few of us left.

[rush]

Good to see a comp again in CO. I wont be making this one unfortunately. :hsugh:"

[dkoppric]

count me in, expert/pro

[philth]

If this one works out...round two, three, four can be anywhere, same format.
If we run more, more companies are interested in sponsoring the events.
Could be the start of something sweet.

[trialsrider50]

hmmmmm

[beastoftheeast]

my buddy and i will make it out assuming were around then...cant plan that far ahead. yay for sport riders. i wonder if i can trackstand, i have ridden a mt bike twice for about 10 min total since xmas break. a3 gets here soon though :eek3danc:

[Keith Courage]

Trialsrider50, you should come out. Missoula can't be that far from evergreen/Denver.

I'm coming all the way from Florida for Christ's sake! :wiggle:

[xsv4crob]

Yeah, three weeks before the comp...... to live here!!

[philth]

just want say this again
If you want to ride but feel its too far for morning travel, come sat and stay with me...its not like theres nothing to ride here. I know in England my dad (cool guy, got the trials fever) would trave 5-6 hours to go comps.

The more riders that show the better the comp will be...+its going to be a blast.

[beastoftheeast]

anyone from boulder have multiple bike racks/would have room for another bike in the car? my friend who i was planning on going with just got a job so its up in the air if he can give me a ride, would be good to have a ride to fall back on. i think 3rd Degree might be looking for a ride up from boulder too.

10 days, my pulled hamstring will be 100%, you sport riders are going to be put to shame by my thuper trackstand skills. first "ride" today(on a meh hamstring) since xmas break.

[3rd Degree]

My girlfriend said she would drive me up there, but I think I can convince her roommate to go. He's got a huge ass van. The only thing stopping him will be a massive hangover (it's his bro's birthday the night before).

steal his huge ass van for a day. if its his bros bday the night before he probably wont wake till about 2, then he will sit on the couch watching tv thinking to himself how shitty he feels and how he doesnt feel like moving. by the time he feels good enough to do anything you will be back. he doesnt need that van that day... and bringing your gf to a comp... i hope shes not hot for your sake :naughty:.

[WhiteRavenKS]

i'm bummed im going to be out of town for this one but hopefully i'll be around for round 2... i want to make a section that just pissed people off.

kinda like that colorado series that i tried to put on that only had riders show up for the first event ;)

[Xoo]

I'd like to go, my Adamant A1 should arrive right after that weekend unless Mean Todd finish's my wheels early. Also this is my first trials bike.... I've been practicing what I can, on my Full Suspension MTB. Sounds cool though, glad there's a good Colorado trials scene.

[Keith Courage]

just go. bring your full squish.
you can just chill.

:dunno:

Yeh come check out the scene...

Nothing really built for Squishy bikes at my place...Yet..but keep an eye on it...come check the place, you'll see what I mean.

[3rd Degree]

My boss is retarded and scheduled me to work on sunday, and since there is some race going on, no one is around to cover for me. looks like im out.

[AndyT]

good fucking luck finding it :rofl: ;)

[MultiRider]

I might be up for it. I'm still a total beginner, not sure it would be even useful for me to attempt the course, maybe I'll just watch.

Hey, Mike (Literocola) -- Want to go to the comp?

Hey, Mike (Literocola) -- Want to go to the comp?

hey it isnt official
Its rider run/designed sections.
Its going to a laugh...
Remember technical dabs are your friend, elite example :bowdown:Cassio:eek5:

[beastoftheeast]

if any one has a booster they are looking to get rid of bring it to the comp. and someone better have tar. my back brake is terrible right now and is going to be the death of me.

[MultiRider]

Approx how long would it take to get to your place from I-70 and C-470?

[philth]

I have no clue I'm new to the area...welll the area being anywhere in the States.

EDIT:: There is a 'mapquest' link at the top of my first post, just hit 'directions to' and punch in your inf...that will give you an estimated travel time (if you stick to the speed limit)

I have spare rooms if it going to be to far for morning travel...Come sat, chill.

[literocola]

I have a block of tar... like a cinder block of the good shit. I'll bring some up.

Game on!

[MultiRider]

Anybody want to carpool up there? I'm in the Castle Rock area, so it would be easy to hook up with anyone south or east of Castle Rock (Parker, southern Aurora, Colorado Springs, etc) as well as anywhere along the C-470 loop up to I-70 (Highlands Ranch, Littleton, Waterton Canyon, Golden, Morrison, etc, etc).

I'd be happy to meet at C470 and I-70 and pool from there if that's the best we can do.

Please let me know -- shoot me a note at jimm100@hotmail.com and include your phone number.

[redworm]

I may be there right at 12 so mark an easy exp/pro section for me, I'll probably also bring one or two other riders

:bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:. now i just have to find a ride up from boulder since all these fools are flaking because of work :squint:

[AndyM]

I am heading up from the Boulder area. I can take two people and bikes. Let me know if anyone (Calvin) wants in.

Andy

[beastoftheeast]

ya that would be sweet, i havn't heard back from the maybe's so ill snag a ride with you. i dont have your num, mines 303-717-5905. let me know when you want to roll out.

[literocola]

aww i remember when i first introduced you to the black devil

:werd: that helped me out more than you know.


I'll be riding up with a few guys from work, were also taggin along a bomber downhill rig. Were gonna stop by the store and get some food and such. Julian says he has to do lawn stuff.

Anyways I'm stoked and ready to ride

[redworm]

andy M? wtf where have you been?

[philth]

Sunday Sunday Sunday.....
Good morning....
Lets rides!!!!

[Elan]

its about 11:00 now. i just woke up. im still kinda drunk. if i sober up before too late ill come..if not...? maybe still chances for a post comp group rizzle.

[AndyT]

true CO style...wake up drunk, ride, don't even remember riding, then get drunk.

[Elan]

i havent left the house yet and some dude from boulder is picking up my bike in the next half hour. no more trialsings

[beastoftheeast]

good meeting and riding with you all, huge thanks to phil for putting this on... and having such a sick backyard. sorry about peacing early, wanted to stay and ride(phil you should make my score on those last 2 sections what i got on the first lap:x: and post results). im for sure down for a round 2 sometime, once this pulled hamstring feels like recovering. i was thinking a good time for a comp(not necessarily round 2) would be good really close to otn days so any riders coming from far away can ride 2 comps while there here?

[redworm]

good times fellas! I'm down for round 2 but now I'm actually gonna practice for the rest of the summer!

[xsv4crob]

Hey everyone, that was a great time today. It was really nice meeting all of you that I didn't already know. Thank you again Phil for hosting the event!!!!

[philth]

I had a great time...The turn out was great! The sections were a really good mix.
I'll get the results up soon, and see if I can find my cable for the camera, get some footage out.

Thanks to all who showed, thanks to Trialsin and Alpha for the support.

Bring on round two...I know I'll be practising.

[AndyM]

Here are a few pics from the day. Thanks again to Phil for making this happen.

Best Section winner = Rob.

[beastoftheeast]

[3rd Degree]

Looks like it was a damn good time. Too bad I didn't get to make it. I will for round 2

[MultiRider]

It was a great time -- great area to ride, creative sections, enough variety that everyone was challenged, and a good group of guys. Definitely some outstanding skills in the group.

Good pics, Andy! Wish you had gotten one of me crashing. But it is very cool that you got one of me riding -- I'm glad you were quick enough on the shutter to catch me with both feet on the pedals!

Guess I should have gone with ice therapy. My left hand has swollen up and the middle 2 fingers don't work so good. Odd that the index and pinky and thumb seem mostly okay. And I'm very happy to report that my wrist is fine. I know lots of guys from my motocross days with wrist issues that won't resolve. So that's a relief.

The gap contest was cool to watch. How about a bunny hop contest next time?

Great riding, great group of guys to chill with afterwards. I'd be up for Round 2!

[hopsalot]

Multirider, you took a nasty spill, I'm glad to heard you didn't have to take a trip to the hospital.

[Keith Courage]

I love eeryone that rides trials in Colorado.
Except all the fags that didn't come.

Seriously, one of the best days of my life. I'm super stoked to be involved in such an (now) active and friendly scene.
To everyone I met, it was an honor and a privelege.
I don't know how to spell privilege. WTF?
Anyway, good times. Look forward to the next event/ride/soggy biscuit challenge.

Big thanks to Tim @ Trialsin and Alpha bikes for hooking everyone up.
I sooooo needed good socks for the Pedicab action.

PS post more pics or die.

Edit: I'm so glad to see other mod riders. We ride dem twinkys on bout everythang

[MultiRider]

Anybody else have pics they can post?

This made me smile and then laugh out loud multiple times ("e-biker" cracked me up):

[MultiRider]

I was looking at the results -- all I needed to do was roll past the start and put both feet down on the sections in Round 2 and I would have gotten 3rd place in my first trials comp! Now that would have been cool . . .

Fingers are getting better, still can't hold a handlebar.

[philth]

no people/time to ride with.

I know I had a few beers before the comp, I certianly wasn't seeing double but there was quite a few riders here....enough that 'a few' is too small of a descriptive phrase.

My camera is being a bitch...and I can't find my firewire cable.
Trying to remedy this. I would give the tape to someone else but theres some naughty stuffles on there...:yum:

I think a round#2 will be killer...now people have a feel for sections, I am very interested to see the changes...I suspect Mark will try to kill afew of us off again.

[afrobot]

Again I must say thank you. I had a great time it was nice to see so many new faces and no Elan. I guess I missed the top riders, but it was nice to have a close competition with no one in any class being embarrassed by being completely schooled.
looking forward to round 2 ...

[hopsalot]

.I suspect Mark will try to kill afew of us off again.

My section was very ridable, by someone like Jesus.

Or the devil - you taped off a section = to hell on earth.

[afrobot]

I propose a fun, non comp, section building , beer dringing , shindig, in preparation for a future comp. The sections could use some logs to add a little variety or assistance .

Can be done easily, we used to use numbered markers (duck tape patches with sharpy numbers), and just set out gates you had to negotiate through....alot easier and quicker than taping out entire sections+ allow for more flexibily on routes between gates.

Maybe I'll bring some on sunday?

[crescentrider]

Yo,
Can whoever is in charge of these CO comps please PM with a list of the dates for future comps. I'd really like to start shreddin comps again as it has been quite some time since I've competed. Thanks.

Phil put it on and talked about a Round 2, but it's not an official series or anything. He just picked a date, published it, people showed, taped off sections, and we started riding. It probably appears a lot more official than it was due to the use of official scoring sheets and the Release of Liability and whatnot. But basically, his parents have 9 acres in Evergreen that we taped off and stomped.

Phil -- Have you given any thought to a date for Round 2? July 28 perhaps?
