[manhattanprjkt83]

hahah nice man i think i was standing next to you this morning under the bridge...

[Bearmntpicnic]

yeah you were with transcend correct.

[rpk1988]

Here are some pictures I got just to give you an idea. I didnt get any of the Monster Park action pictures because we didnt go to the qualifying and it rained today so we took off. I was pretty bummed but we did get to a guy on a white blur with red wheels do a backflip just messing around. Cant remember his name though. Check it out.

That was goldman that flipped the step up/step down...

[rpk1988]

Cool. That was awesome. He just came out of no where. First time I have really seen that. I wish it didnt rain. We were talking to Goldman when he got off the lift once. He was saying how Whistler is sooo much more crazy.

[CHOP]

yup, what happened? Still havent heard from any of my crew...
Rained out. Going to do it tommorrow.

[Curiouscaptian01]

I am pissed I had to miss it this year... last year was killer. Damn college

[brungeman]

I have a couple of great shots of Goldman hitting that back flip!

I only have time to post this one right now, more to come, I have to get some sleep too much fun was had by this monkey!

It was great to meet a bunch of other monkeys at Snowshoe!
cheers!

must get sleep:dead:

oh, and that step up/step down looks flexy!

[wood-dog]

good photos charlie

[Pi31412]

Video of Goldman flipping if you rub this link gently (http://www.idrivethetrain.com/assets/video/goldman_flip.wmv).

Totally crushed that I waited all year and had to leave Sunday so I will miss the finals today. Was an otherwise stellar weekend of riding and pro-bothering.

[manhattanprjkt83]

Yeah our weekend was incredible brungeman and i drank and rode our faces off all weekend...

It was cool to meet a bunch of you...

im sick of answering questions about my bike...

I'd post some pics but BIKE mag will put me in jail...

[profro]

Yeah our weekend was incredible brungeman and i drank and rode our faces off all weekend...



And you slept with a bear right outside your tent and didn't even know it. :blah:

[manhattanprjkt83]

And you slept with a bear right outside your tent and didn't even know it. :blah:

Hahhaha i was not in the best shape when i climbed in my tent that night...was it really out there, and how do you know that? Were you in the lot?

[d.e.f.]

It was out there!! The first visit was after dinner he intorduced himself to Brady, then later around 2:30 he broke into Doug's truck and made himself a snack. I head it outside my tent on the other side of the rock pile but I didn't want to mess w/ him....so he just sniffed our tent and carried on.

Damn, I didn't meet anyone out there except for the crew I knew and RICKY!!! w/ his turpentine/antifreeze shine. Maybe I should learn to be more social, or maybe it was because I was riding too much. All in all, it was a fun weekend.

[VT Mtbkr]

I've got a bunch of pictures from the DH race, mostly of the amatuer classes and the beginning of the pros. Not going to post them all. Maybe just a few good ones. PM or post your # and I'll check to see if I have one. I was the first one down the mountian, #1327 (I think) if someone happens to have one of me I would appreciate a copy.

Great race, can't wait till the last one!

[SpaZwEll]

We were in the lot. The bear ate all of my raisin bran and fiesto taco cheetos out of the cooler. We pelted him w/ gravel and stones and he went on down to the next cooler and had him a bud light.

[rpk1988]

We were in that same parking lot. We heard all the stories the next day about him coming around. What kind of car were you in manhatten?

Anyone have any pictures of 1376? And VT Mtbkr, you number couldnt be 1375, that was my buddies number (I think).

[profro]

Hahhaha i was not in the best shape when i climbed in my tent that night...was it really out there, and how do you know that? Were you in the lot?

I was in the silver F250 full of white dh bikes right beside you guys. I figured it was you because of the Bottlerocket. Yeah, that bear got in the back of my truck and pulled our cooler out. It ripped the top off and ate a box of cereal and cheez-its. It woke me up pulling the cooler out. When I got outside it was standing at the back of my truck eating just feet from my tent.

[dhbuilder]

ya see.
even bears know ya gotta wash taco cheetos down with a beer.

at least it was a bud lite and not one of those sacred shiner bock's.

[d.e.f.]

Don't worry, the shiners were secured in the back of my car - well, the one that was left.

aaaaaaaahh that was you! ok cool, yeah we waited til you went to sleep then drank beers and admired the industry nine wheels hahah...I cant believe the bear was outside of our tent, we were tucked in behind the rock piles right at the woods line...I was out drinking with Brungeman, Ray Petro (from the Park) and Joe Prisel all night...Joe sort of made it his mission to get me messed up calling me a rookie so i wouldnt have known the bear was chilling there anyway...

[profro]

I think we may have even seen you riding the Basin on Sunday unless there was another green Bottlerocket. I wanted to ask to sit on your bike because a friend of mine is wanting one really badly. I was going to let him know it felt. But from what I could see it look like a good quality frame. I think he's on a back order list now for a medium.

[rpk1988]

Wait, was that your green Bottlerocket locked to a tree down at Monster Park? Good stuff!

[homepiece]

Was Joe trying to get into monster park? I know that he had some words for the organizers last year when they wouldn't let him in.

Wow...sorry to hear that. But from the footage they've shown on TV before of them in Yellowstone prying doors off cars and ripping through back seats to get to the trunk, you guys came out of it ok.

Why'd it leave? Braswell try to saddle him up with the velcro gloves???:cool:

[profro]

Why'd it leave? Braswell try to saddle him up with the velcro gloves???:cool:

Nah, we started throwing rocks at it. It was cool and fun to watch, but we were only creating more trouble for it letting it eat without any hassle.

However seeing Brady step out of his trailer and look eye to eye with the beast only feet away from him was something I will laugh at for a long time.

[brungeman]

And you slept with a bear right outside your tent and didn't even know it. :blah:

Hey it was good to meet you!

The funniest thing was, Bill and I were tearing down our site on Sunday afternoon, and this guy that workes there, drives over in a beat up red truck and asked if we had any trash we wanted him to take, we were like "oh yeah cool!" then he proceded to scare the sh!t out of us with the bear stories from Saturday night!

We were both pretty damn oblivious to our surroundings Sat. night Sunday morning!

and when we met Ray and Joe to ride at 8:15 I really had no business being on a bike!:dead:

Joe Prisel's new nickname is "Mojito Joe" (people were calling out the nastiest drinks they could think of, and Joe was drinking them!) I happened to get sucked into the mixed drink crap during the round of "Rusty Nail's" boy did that suck:wonky2:

[Taz]

However seeing Brady step out of his trailer and look eye to eye with the beast only feet away from him was something I will laugh at for a long time.

So will I. Next time I camp in the center of that parking lot!

[brungeman]

Was Joe trying to get into monster park? I know that he had some words for the organizers last year when they wouldn't let him in.

he rode the qualifying rounds on Sat. the story I heard on Sunday was (just like a bunch of the riders who didn't make the finals they were all really close in points from 13th place on) after a few injuries and a few finalists having to leave to catch flights (after all the rain delays), Joe may have been able to ride the finals. He was riding qualifying on a blown up front fork!

I know he and Ray had to leave anyway, (after Sat. Night's drinkfest, I think Ray may have been the only one who had any business being on a bike! but we all still rode):rofl:

[dhbuilder]

So will I. Next time I camp in the center of that parking lot!

hey man.
terry and i were in the red pick up behind you as you started home.

you don't waste any time haulin that trailer round those turns.
terry commented that you weren't holding him up in the least.

Yeah i think we screwed him up for the finals...We were all having to much funn running all over the mountain hungover so he didnt go hang out at the course..."Fresh Tracks" on the western territory at 8:30 am are a good thing...

His runs were insane, total street style the announcer didnt even know how to call it...I guess that isnt saying much he couldnt tell the difference between a tail whip and a barspin :rolleyes:...

Did he make this expression when he saw it? :rofl: :rofl:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v468/bizutch/exorcist.jpg

Oh...and it's easy to understand why the bear got so close. Brady's so hairy that bas was probably lookin' for love, not liquor....

[corey_rideDC]

good meeting a bunch of ya out there. i was reminded again and again how small a world the mtb community is. i was also reminded how long it takes to walk from the bottom of the course to the shuttle bus after you've flatted at 5:30 pm :D

were the bears out on fri night or saturday night at silvercreek? i pulled in around 12:30 fri and passed out solid till 7:30. i didn't hear a thing.

[d.e.f.]

Were you in the explorer next to the big rock piles? (I was in the silver Protege 5 w/ a Glory and Coiler on the roof) The big guy was roaming around and causing a rucus on saturday night.

[corey_rideDC]

yup, that was me. glad i mooched some indoor sleepin on saturday then! you were one of the guys i briefly talked to sat AM, right?

[manhattanprjkt83]

yup, that was me. glad i mooched some indoor sleepin on saturday then!

Corey, you definately should have hung out on saturday, wow...Good times...

Lucky you slept inside without bears though...

[Taz]

hey man.
terry and i were in the red pick up behind you as you started home.

you don't waste any time haulin that trailer round those turns.
terry commented that you weren't holding him up in the least.

HAHA! I remember you guys behind me, didn't know who it was but remember the red truck.

[d.e.f.]

yup, that was me. glad i mooched some indoor sleepin on saturday then! you were one of the guys i briefly talked to sat AM, right?

I believe so. I was so damn tired that morning I can't remember exactly what I said. I think you mentioned looking for a job in Knoxville, but getting one in the DC area? But the first run on a dh bike in a year and a half being down lower hair ball woke me up quick.

[spoke80]

Welcome Back!

[d.e.f.]

Welcome Back!

Grand times.

We found Rickey's trail over on the basin side, it was my favorite over there. Then a few runs on the western side in the rain to show me what that place is normally like.

Do I have to give that bike back????

[brungeman]

Corey,

Man it was great to meat up with you again! We will have to make sure there is less time before our next meeting! I could talk the good old days of music and bikes for days!

[bizutch]

HAHA! I remember you guys behind me, didn't know who it was but remember the red truck.

[SK6]

Good question. I have quite a few great shots myself of today's event.

[Bearmntpicnic]

i saw ray with a taco'ed rear wheel on friday, did he get that fixed? i have been up to his park befor so i knew it was him on the gt it-1.

[DHracer1067]

a day or so....... Dude! I am in the very FLAT, FLAT lands of America once again and I have no....... wait, yea ok. I will wait. But crap, I miss riden in the Va, West Va area.:mumble:

[brungeman]

i saw ray with a taco'ed rear wheel on friday, did he get that fixed? i have been up to his park befor so i knew it was him on the gt it-1.

what time did you see him with a wheel problem? If it was him he must have gotten it straight, Friday afternoon he was rockin, Sat. he was like the "Energizer Bunny" and kept taking runs with me until I was completely spent, and by Sunday he was killin it!

PS. Ray doesn't sugar coat anything! I got the reaming from him Sunday for not riding flats, and not wearing pads... (at least he waited for me to get hurt, so we didn't have the whole "I TOLD YOU SO" dynamic going on!):rofl:

[Taz]

I left at 4 yesterday, had to go to my 9-5 today...

What is stopping you from selling the photos?

That was part of the media release form. Pretty damn restrictive one too. But I couldn't wait till 2 so I left. I had an 11 hour drive home.

[Taz]

Damn I hate I missed Ray and Joe. Would liked to have hung out with those guys. Ray sponsored a skatepark event I put on here in Atlanta and Joe is just ****ing cool guy.

[brungeman]

Yes good guys to say the least.

[manhattanprjkt83]

he just had a couple flats, not a taco'ed wheel...Ray is a DH ripper on thing...

[manhattanprjkt83]

Damn I hate I missed Ray and Joe. Would liked to have hung out with those guys. Ray sponsored a skatepark event I put on here in Atlanta and Joe is just ****ing cool guy.

You have to wait till december to submit any photos to other magazines or advertisers.

[manhattanprjkt83]

You have to wait till december to submit any photos to other magazines or advertisers.

I'm not to worried about it, ill get some stuff out there when the time comes. I know it's kind of screwed up but it's a good event to shoot.

I'm checking now to see if i can post them on transcend...

[Taz]

Ya you can post them on Transcend. Fraser isn't at home right now though. Lucky bastard is in New Zealand.... wish I was there.

[dirtygirlmagnet]

Did anyone get any pictures of me racing? I was the guy in the tacky suit.

[manhattanprjkt83]

Ya you can post them on Transcend. Fraser isn't at home right now though. Lucky bastard is in New Zealand.... wish I was there.

I am verifying that, I was registered with Transcend down there...

[VaNIlLin81]

Charlie what camera are you using? Hopefully it's a point and shoot. If you like taking pics and don't want that blur you should invest in a SLR. I'm selling my Nikon N55 soon. It's what I started with, and I've surpassed that with my Canon 20D. Which is still not in my possesion. Damn them brother-in-laws.

[BIRDMAN111]

haha be a man like me.

hay carumba brian. did he actualy buy it yet?

[Bearmntpicnic]

yeah those pictures were with a crapy cannon and were taken just for fun. I havent proccesed the nice pictures. the nicer pictures were taken with a pentax something or other with a nikon something or other lense.

[VaNIlLin81]

hay carumba brian. did he actualy buy it yet?

No he is holding it off, waiting till after the baby he says. What a bunch of bull. I'm deciding if I need to buy a crappy junker first or a camera, I hate to say it but the car is looking more....yeah.

[Bearmntpicnic]

dont be a bitch brian cars are for pussys if it comes between a bike or a car ill give you rides to school when i get my licencse.
