  Neww Thread  to entice riders to set a side  the 9/11 weekend  to  rock out  at my bluff.  Just spent 3  very long days working on the sections  . I have  extended the loop as a 1 way trail  along complete East and North side  now,uncovering  a dozen  nice sized rocks that made 4  all new sections  3  as all rides  .The trail alone is sweet with 80 foot straight up bluff just feet to your left  along the 1st 1/3  of route.  There is  actually  a blacker  soil like surface  on that side  down at base where sections are so not  as deep of  powder sand until the last  ch/ex only crazy double climb.  Jim Pres V  came  and removed  many logs  on  trail  to help Nov/Youth save energy for riding sections v.s. trail .  We now have  energy  (a  temp. electric service run in)  so at very least may blast  a home  stereo for Karaoke.  HUGE  F lamin Bonfire for Saturday  night    ,mongo  grills going for burn your own  meat dinner.  After sections close at 4 pm Saturday we will  hash out  what  extra  circular  madness to  engage in, choices are  /wheelie contest(have 2 miles of dead  end turny gravel rd to use)  timed zig zag uphillclimb ) /   big wall freeride comp over where  sections 1,2&3  lay since I expect no flat land area in pits to be available with all the camping rigs.   There will be  a very sizable moon as long as clouds  are not.   Remember  there is  almost NO mud so rain  does not hurt  the ridi ng . Americas Got Talent semifinal act (Smage Bros Riding Shows ) will make an appearance if possible.  Bugs are not at all severe  like most of 2010   ,So  start practicing  2nd and third gear soft turns to attack mode  and be at the midwests newest ,groovinest place to ride.  Be pumped to be stoked

Sounds great Noel!  Been looking forward to this event since the schedule was posted.  I plan to come up Thursday night (9-8) to help out with whatever needs to be done on Friday.  Unfortunately, I have to leave Friday night and meet Mason up in Crystal Falls, MI for the D16 HS on Saturday morning (I was out-voted 2-1 on this deal).  We'll be back for the festivities Saturday afternoon and ride on Sunday. 

Are you racing the Endurocross/Trialcross this weekend?  If so, we'll see you down there.  Good luck to the boys next week!

  No Endurocross for me  . Her is a list of potential escuses= Fear of falling  Fear of =SIDS/SARS/SAD/ADD/SDS/AIDS       actuallly have no good excuse just not going.  Why is it so hard for people to get involved in  a forum  ,if no one shows a little excitement, I will be afraid of  a 20 person sighnup!

We'll be there! Sounds fun!!!

I'm also excited to go there.  Probably be there starting Tuesday the 6th to help set up, unless you get so much help before then that there isn't any work left to do.   :D

  Ill be there  a few days early too,have to  get the railing on the deck posts and finish outdoor privy  . I have  a bout 12  EX/CH  sections done  some are  for  ADV also and some are for  All classes.  I am busy next 2 weekends so any trips will be midweek.  Jim  and neighbors will most likely get some Nov/Int stuff done  but we will just see where things are at the final week. There should be  a fair  turnout in local bodies  I have  a concrete crew involved with  a cabin foundation  and  a few neighbors all show interest in seeing an event. Also the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal  has  a reporter planned to cover it.

Barb and I plan on coming up to watch at least one day (but really want to see both days). This will be our first time there and I'm really looking forward to seeing the area. I REALLY wish I could ride but my collar bone still isn't healed  so being a spectator is all I'm able to do. I'm also hoping for a good turn out for the event and want to see as many riders as possible.

   Does  anyone  have  a  running  but otherwise useless beater  any kind of bike or moped we could launch off the top opf the bluff into the street?  The crazies  in Nebraska did that at 2 NATC events where  they mark  dollar bills w/ you name  lay them down where you think bike will come to rest  and the closest $  takes all $. 

now that is really funny!

I have an '83 Shadow 750 that runs, just needs a battery.  I am sure we could find something to throw in there for as long as it needs to run. 

So who is going to drive it up to the top?

Hey, Ken Koch and I,  got there tonite to clean up the loop on the new side! got at least half way through, there is alot of trees in that part! well on the ground anyway, lots of (good rocks) there too! I think we need to weed wack that part more to see more of the rocks!!!! looking Good on that side! I think there is alot more to offer there... found lots of stuff for youth novice and Int on that side, we got rained out, got raining pretty heavy other wise I would have started on the lower class sections, but I will be back . I am going after work this week thurs and maybe sat! anyone want to help call me and come on over, we need some weed eating on the side hills there to find some more stuff hidding in there. looking forward to riding this!

There  is  a flat way arouind  to the hayfield  that lies on top  it  isnt  real far.  I dont think the bike will be  too good agter 80 ft freefall  but   if we can avoid  insurance worries  it would be   a memorable 5 minutes.  I  can spare  a weak bettery  ,  bring it if u r  coming

  Jim  unless my  concrete  guys think  I need to speed up there  I  will wait and  go  midweek  next.  On  the NEW north side  area  be careful  about going overboard  with cleaning new stuff  my wife wants to be sure  it  doesnt look  like TTC  soon   so leave  plenty of ferns  flowing. It would be  ok  if  by the  2  large rocks that have no sections by them  you found  some  area  to turn those into sections . At the NE  corner  I thought  some chance  an EX  line could get pretty far up  but not too sure .

no weed wacking yet ! just cutting logs for trail, if it didnt rain so much I would  have stayed and ribboned some sections 4 lower classes I am going thurs if it dont rain! and maybe sat not to sure about that though I need to finish my fence and may have help comming so that may cut me out on sat. and depending on rain on sunday that may work too.

OK, I'll bring it.  We need good video to capture the carnage.  So what do we do with it AFTER the free fall?

    So as not to confuse  you  use your own dollars  can set more than one.  The last  Nebraska BIKE LAUNCH  was actually a pretty nice Fantic section  they then had  a quick auction where Ryan Young ended up buying it  for like a hunred bucks.  This one  not too sure  but my brother has  a Japanese  road bike collection for  spare parts, he  would take it.  I  am not certain  if we have  a good launch spot where  it would  makr it too the road  plus we would have to block it off for ten minutes  but  I KNOW  I could find some spot  to  send it  .  I think the  Nebraskies  ran along side  it  and  hit  a jump  ,  I would rsather  tape throttle wfo  and  slam it in gear   but we will see.    Does  anyone  play  a mean guitar  or know  of  a decent band that would play for  2 hrs for $400

Got the mighty Shadow running last night, should work well.  We will just need a battery at the top of the bluff to start it and then it can be disconnected.  Found a small fuel leak from the carb, so it may make the event more interesting.

Noel, do you still want me to bring it?

Lifetoshort... I talked to Noel today and he said YES!! he wants you to bring the bike.

Hackman3,

OK.  My plans changed a bit due to a clutch hose not fitting (I planned to be there tonight).  Anyway, we are going to the UP tomorrow afternoon for a Harescrambles on Saturday AM and then heading down to the trial in the afternoon (~4pm arrival).  Please tell Noel (if possible) we'll have the Shadow there then ready for launch!  Have him call me if you want.

Thanks,

Mike
