We'll have more details shortly, but we're planning another shuttle day for May 12th, which is a Saturday. Should be similar, but a few small changes. Example: we're looking into getting a couple of big clocks so you can time your own runs for some Beacon prep. If you have any suggestions, we'd like to hear them. Probably a party Saturday night again.

Buy a Garmin 305 Edge, or a stop watch. Thats how I time mine.

 

[DBR X6 RIDER]

F*** yeah!!! I just finally came down from the last one. It's been a while since I had that much fun with alot of great people.

I'll bring plenty of zip-ties in case I have another meeting with a tree.

 

[hungryleprican]

YES!!!! This time I won't f*** my hand up

 

[Gex]

Cool. Maybe my X.9 will fare better then my X.0 and I can shoot some photo's 2.

 

[shuttlefever]

SWEEEET I missed the last one. But I want to know, if I am not a racer, am i gonna get blown off the course by the racer-dudes and dude-ettes??? I am not terribly slow, but i am definately a recreational rider.
Shuttlefever~~

 

[DBR X6 RIDER]

Hahahaha - seems like alot of us are in search of redemption in one way or another...myself being way up on that list.

Shuttlefever - you won't have any issues w/ the mega-rippers. There's enough trails that it thins out quickly on the trails. If you're really concerned about slowing others down, just chill at the top for a minute or two and they'll jump in first. I'm no Sam Hill, but I don't recall many, if any, folks tailing me too bad.

 

[dirtbagrich]

I had a blast last time. I blew out my Romic shock so hopefully I can get my bike going in time to make the next one.

 

[iridebikes]

well I am Sam Hill, so watch out!

Haha, It'll be sweet once again! Maybe this time the truck door won't break and hit people in the head...

 

[Secret Squirrel]

Maybe this time the truck door won't break and hit people in the head...

Ever the optimist...

 

[downhillracer]

I'll most likely be out there

 

[maniak10]

What happened to the BBQ? Prizes?

 

[tuckya'in]

It's really just a shuttle day with no "competition" as far as prizes are concerned. We'll look at the raffle possiblity, if not for this one, but maybe the fall events. When, and if, we organize a race series there will obviously be prizes.

As far as food??? We have a few options for getting some killer food vendor up there. (ie. mexican, or killer BBQ pit stuff, or other..) Or we could just have a BBQ area for a "bring your own meat" type of deal? I'd like to get some opinions from the masses.

The ball is in motion.

 

[ktown.freeride]

i'll be there once again. it was well put on last time.

 

[shuttlefever]

Meat On Fire.....goooooood!!

 

[muddy beast]

Maybe I can go as an early birth day present!


that would be sick.

 

[gooch]

I have read about some of the past shuttle days. Is a newbie to the shuttle day welcome???

 

[hungryleprican]

always, there were a ton of guys there that weren't nearly as fast as some of the other hardcore downhill guys

But your no stranger to shuttlin'...

 

[SteezyWeezy]

i missed out last time, hopefully i can go this time

 

[hungryleprican]

it was a blast last time trevor you should try to make it

 

[downhillracer]

hopefully it will be a bit drier this time. last time was pretty good though considering how much rain the hill saw on saturday

 

[shuttlefever]

So is this event going off both saturday and sunday? Or just saturday?

 

[GrapeApe79]

I think a BBQ pit vendor would be fun. I like the idea of BYOM, but it will be much less of a hassle if we go with a vendor. A stress free day of hard riding and eating some already prepared food sounds perfect!

And whoever said "grab a sandwich on the way up"--I know what you mean, but a BBQ would be a fun time to socialize and tell war stories from the trail. Sounds like a fun day!

 

[tuckya'in]

I'll look into the BBQ pit guy. His business is called the "Smokin' Train" and he makes pretty killer grub. Chicken, ribs, beef brisket, beans, slaw and of course it's all smoked. His BBQ looks kinda like a train.

Even if it's only a Saturday thing, there are other places to ride on Sunday, should you choose to stick around.
ODS

PS But remember, Sunday is Mother's Day. Don't dis your motha!

 

[muddy beast]

hmm saturday might be tough to do :-/

I suppose I could try and make it late. How long does it go till/ good for?

I've never shuttled before, so I really wana do this...sounds like a blast.

Try. VERY hard.

As Jumping Jesus would say, "It's ALL about the shuttle!!!"

 

[gooch]

But your no stranger to shuttlin'...

I haven't dusted off the DH rig since the last trip to Whistler/sun Peaks. You going to be out there Hacker?

 

[ktown.freeride]

muddy beast, if you never shuttled before you have to make it out to this. soooo worth the drive.

 

[hungryleprican]

guess I can't go, turns out thats the night of the formal for our school

 

[downhillracer]

[oly]

Sounds like you have your priorities mixed up....

 

[MR.S]

I never thought I would be disappointed to take a cruise to Mexico, but in all reality Id rather be in PA with the boys that weekend...infinite sadness. I guess it could be worse.

 

[oly]

Well make sure you live it up on the captains night and take them for all the free drinks they offer.... just beware the next days hangover might keep you on the tour bus the next day when they let you off the boat... I speak from experience......

 

[MR.S]

Im L7 on the alcohol.. although this may be a worthy event to fall off the wagon. My only hangover fear is that smoke too much mota and sleep thru the whole deal.

 

[cm16white]

i'll be there scott give me a call i had my phone stolen so i don't have your number any more
