done... I'll take my six. Last year they stopped selling beer immediately after the DH race ended. lame. You had to do all of yer drinking during the race to get any satisfaction.Metal said:
I'm in depending on when you leave...Metal said:
I want to practice friday, but traffic is gonna be a bitch.

Ok so this year we will sell beer during the DH starting at 12. Then we will move the beer wagon over to the main venue where prizes will be given out, after the race.
Have you guys ever heard of the ABC? They issue permits for the sale of beer and stuff like that. Our permit expired at 5 PM on Saturday last year. We had no choice but to stop. This year we're holding the pasta feed dinner out at the Pole Barn, and our ABC permit expires at 8 PM.
My race is far from lame ...
Hecky
There's no knocking the race, I had a great time last year; It's just that we ran dry while raving Friday night under the oak trees and had nothing to put in our Firestone Mugs after the race... rules are rules. It's all good.hecktone said:
anyone still going to bootleg? wanna carpool with me? my buddy has a house in henderson. if it's just a couple guys going we can avoid camping out or getting a room. plenty of room to drink beer and crash out at his place.
Well, after much debate...we will be going to Bootleg afterall. We're thinking of leaving the O.C area at around 6pm(traffic). No plans yet on lodging, but there are 5 of us (70% being under 18). Let me know what you think.wikitypooshlag said:
Edit; just noticed you are in SD, I'll be leaving SD around 4pm.

Haha, nah man. I seriously have not ridden techy/fast trails in who knows how long.punkassean said:
I peeped the vid on the racecourse and it just seems like my local XC trail with berms. (Not trying to diss on the course or the race at all)
Besides, I will not be able to get time off tomorrow.
Alf check out the video of firestone, I am over it and I want in on the bootleg trip!
with berms....and a 12' hip drop.....and a bunch of nice small jumps...and a bunch of bros...and most importantly, a bunch of FUN.Fonzie18 said:
I'm just giving you a hard time because I know that if you guys came up you'd have a blast. We worked hard and we want people to enjoy it. Have fun in Bootleg, hopefully we'll see you at Firetsone next year, maybe by then we'll have added more features you are looking for. Like Steven mentioned in the Firestone video thread, we built this course to be a refreshing change from other SoCal venues, not to be "easy".

I'm sure you guys will have a blast riding and racing this weekend at Firestone.
It was a tough choice for me but I had promised my brother and some buddies a Bootleg trip before summer rolled in.
Sanjay had a good point when I talked to him last night regarding the Firestone race. He mentioned that half the fun comes from the people who attend the race rather that the course/terrain itself. I couldn't agree more.
Good luck to ya'll

well im a noob as you can see but me and about 3 other guys arre going to bootleg on june 1 thru the 5 if anyone want to meet up. i am from santa barbara.
Takes lots of water.NOOBTASTIC said:
thanks for the advice on the water
there's a good chance I'll be out there that weekend. it's gonna be hot but that place is so much fun it's worth it. be ready to be shocked. the trails are gnarcore but once you get used to them you start to love em. I highly recommend hardcore DH tubes and tires. It took me a lot of flats to learn the hard way. also, if you bring soft compound tires don't expect them to last more than 2 days of hard riding at bootleg.
nice. more people are better. are you gonna stay in town? or are you gonna camp? we are gonna camp it out. i am so excited for this trip. its gonna be so sick!! anyone else wanna go?
I stay at my buddy's house in Henderson - about 20 minutes from bootleg. Riders are always welcome to come party and have a good time. We just gotta be careful cus last time I was out I ended up drinking wayyyyy to much beer and didn't ride on sundayNOOBTASTIC said:
I was pretty pissed at myself. I'll be out there with one other friend who is an absolute riding fanatic. Camping out is the way to go though. I'm not 100% sure I'm going to be out there that weekend, but if I have the cash I'll be there. How new are you guys to DH?i am only about two months into it. i ride dh every weekend and go dirt jumping at least twice a week, if not more. i really love riding. i commute to work on my xc, then hop on my demo and hit the dirt jump as often as possible. im a noob, but you gotta start somewhere!
yeah for sure! as long as you're serious about riding that's all that matters. i was just asking cus bootleg is some seriously gnarly sh**. as soon as you get past the "holy F*** this place is insane" phase you'll love it. looks like i'm gonna try to make it out that weekend for sure. so keep in touch, and we'll prolly see you guys out there. let's just hope it's not like 150 degrees hahaNOOBTASTIC said:
