View Full Version : Who would come to a winter comp series down here?

Mike and I found a SICK place to hold a comp. The place is used for four wheel drive expos, and it has a TON of boulders all over the place. Moto trials guys found out about the place, and got permision to ride there whenever they want. Then we heard about it, and also got permision to not only ride, but to even MOVE boulders around with a front end loader if we wanted.

Anyway, Mike and I were thinking about holding some low key trials comps there over the winter. Nothing special at all, pretty similiar to what Andrew's Ft Collins comp was like, but with do-able sections. If we did prizes it would be something like everyone throw $10 into a pot and the top three split it.

Anyway, I thought it would be a great way to practice over the winter. Let me know who'd like to come...

We'll set up a manual competition, just for you Andrew....

Actually, we'd probably split expert and pro, put expert a little harder than normal expert at Mtn States Cup, and pro would be insane.

Sounds like a good time. Although, I don't know that I'd be able to ride anything if you just put up expert & pro lines. It would be fun to come down and ride what I could and watch you guys pull off some cool lines though. I'll volunteer to drive the front loader around and randomly drop rocks in peoples way.

If we know in advance that we'd get more than three sport riders, I'd definitly put sport sections together.

Ok, it's been decided, there WILL be sport sections, but expect them to be hard for sport. What do you guys think about the sport sections being at the level of EASY expert/ HARD sport?

I'd say we could do one this weekend, but I've got a seriously sprained ankle, and I'm out for probably another week or so.

Sundays will work for us...

I'm down for seriosly hard sport sections Pancho. We need to bridge the gap from sport to expert.

Matt

I can't do one this weekend anyhow, much too busy. But your idea of sport sections sounds like my cup of tea.

Any news on this competition?? I just moved out to the front range in the past month and I'd love to ride in a competition, I've never been to one.

January sounds like a great time to me?

Sweet, welcome to the best riding scene in the lower 48! and probably the other two states I suppose....
Where on the front range did you move? About what level do you consider yourself?

About the comp thing... I seriously sprained my ankle last week, so I haven't been riding or talking to any of the other local guys, but I think we're going to shoot for the first one in early January, but we may shock everyone with one in mid december as well.

Pancho-

I'm near Greeley, I don't really know what to consider myself. I can do pretty big drops, and decent ups. I've never really ridden rocks so this sounds crazy to me!! I'll probably be pretty busy in december and the very beginning of january, but after that I'm good to go! Actually maybe the weekend before christmass might even work!

Later-

Duuuuuuuuuuuuude rightious! yeh it's a great spot and yes, Andrew if we put a good kicker in front of the sections you might be able to clear them.

We have the best weather here it will be swell/swollen!
