[Pat...]

That's a gnarly stair section. I bet there will be a little carnage there.

[sanjuro]

Praise the weak liability laws of non US countries!

[Slugman]

Looks like a lovely place...

[Fonzie18]

Welcome to the rest of the world pretty much.

People in the US feel superior to the rest of the world, but apparently they cannot take responsibility for their own actions.

"I burned myself with coffee that is in the cup that warns me of the danger but I will sue the company anyway."

[coma13]

that is so cool!

[OGDMFG]

Oh i thought that was fontana, my mistake

[Shortbus]

that is freaking AWESOME!:cupidarrow:

Get it straight job thief, the cup warns you because someone sued.

Not to start a PD argument here, but our liability laws help to prevent all sorts of bad things, like exploitation of workers, toxic dumping, etc; which all occur in the 3rd World.

The flip side, of course, is idiot Americans suing because mommy didn't tie their shoe laces correctly, and that we can't have a cool urban race here in America...

Seems pretty straight to me, sister fu*er. Your statement only adds to the absurdity (it happens on a regular basis).

Whoa.
Negative on starting a PD. I don't remember saying anything about not needing liability laws...

I think that is why I gave an example of idiot Americans suing because mommy didn't tie their shoe laces correctly... Not all the other legitimate examples that you expressed above.

Aha, so yeah. There are rumors that the finish line will be at the Papas 'n Beer in downtown Ensenada.

am i missing something or is that a childish way to lose an argument against someone mentally lacking?

[manwithgun]

I'll plan on being there; just have to dig out my leathers and remove brake from bike.... I wonder how the Saturday practice scene is going to be on a "live" course? I want to get a couple of runs in before THEY make me start drinking.

[cheetaprowlerDH]

is there a cost???
i'm super amped to try and make it!

[merrrrjig]

I shall quit my job is I cant get the time off

[Alex966]

Alf, that looks to be a HOT race course! I'm down to go, I can't wait! It's right before the Fontana Annual race, so it'd be a great warm-up, if I don't crash! lol I need to learn to be a little less aggressive and I might actually get to win a race. haha

You can count me in as being a part of that caravan headed down. Do you know if Manny is gonna go and if he'll be settin up some accomodations, or what's gonna happen with that, do ya know?

[Fonzie18]

Manny is going. I'm waiting for him to chime in on this thread. Like I said, there should be some kind of caravan heading down Sat. morning. However, there is no set time or meeting place as of yet.

Stay tuned peeps.

What time would you leave?

Thanks!!

Thanks!!


Laura,
It takes about an hour to get to Ensenada from San Diego, depending on traffic and such.

Try contacting Manny V. for caravan and lodging arrangements, hopefully he will post more info here as well.

ffatbiz@aol.com

[Alex966]

Manny you can count me in for the caravan! I think Andy will be down for it also, so we might take my car down there. But my car is lowered, so we'll have to see.

[FFAT]

I'll be manning the first Caravan down to Ensenada on Friday November 10th. We're going to meet in San Diego at 10am and depart at 10:30am.

Location: Burger King off 'E' Street in Chula Vista. If you're coming from the north, exit 'E' Street and go right. BK is on your immediate right.

Time: 10am

There is an Mexico Insurance facility right next door to the BK if you want it. Try the internet from some pricing.

Please email me with any questions.

Why is the train leaving two days early. Is there going to be practice the day prior to the race or is it just for the party.


Do you have a practice schedule and possible race obsticles (besides the potholes)? How long is the course?
What are the directions if we go on sunday?

[Fonzie18]

Friday??

Looks like I will man the second caravan then. Saturday morning?

[DHS]

laura can i go with you?

think i'd be able to get off work?

[Alex966]

Friday??

Looks like I will man the second caravan then. Saturday morning?

Yeah, I'll be heading down with ya in the second caravan, cause I have to work on friday.

[amateur]

I can help with either caravan...

[Fonzie18]

I can help with either caravan...

Northstar cruiser?

I hope Manny made a mistake and is really leaving Sat. I'm thinking he is going down early to surf though.

[Alex966]

That sounds feasible. But how many people would be going surfing with him? It wouldn't be much of a caravan if it's like him and one or two other cars. Most people will probably be leaving with us on Sat. morning.

What time do you think would be a good time to meet up on sat? like 8am? earlier? later?

8am sounds about right. I'm thinking Manny will be running a one-man caravan if he leaves on Friday.

Does anyone know the current terrorist threat level? Last time I checked it was orange, I wanna be sure before I cross the border.

Tomorrow morning I'll get a tetanus shot so I will be cool to venture into the 3rd world. Are you guys bringing water and food? Who can be the translator?

[Fonzie18]

TJ can volunteer to drive your vehicle down there.

Oh, good. I was hoping he would.

I'll just buy Mexican insurance and let TJ drive, I'll have a new truck in no time.

[spookydave]

so other then some stairs what else is on the course?

[sunny]

Hey Alf,

Where do people stay on Sat night?

[Ozzer]

Oh, good. I was hoping he would.

I'll just buy Mexican insurance and let TJ drive, I'll have a new truck in no time.

Would that include life insurance? Double up if so.



TJ, when are you gonna show up at our rides, mang?

[merrrrjig]

TJ, whats going to be more, your monthly car payment, or monthly insurance payment?

[Pat...]

TJ, can you pick me up and take me (w/o crashing into things) to work on the pacific beach stuff when you get a car?

[Fonzie18]

so other then some stairs what else is on the course?

I dunno, I have not seen the course.

[Fonzie18]

Hey Alf,

Where do people stay on Sat night?

Laura, I'm goin' to get with Manny and figure out some lodging...

[FFAT]

Laura, I'm goin' to get with Manny and figure out some lodging...

Alf and crew, I'm going to leave on Friday. My wife has that day off and we're going to spend it there.

For all those leaving on Saturday: I will talk to Alf and schedule a meeting time.

Plus, I'm working on get the best deal on our friends motel. We usually pay no more than $40 for a two person room. BUT I NEED A SERIOUS HEAD COUNT TO GET THIS DEAL! PLEASE EMAIL ME YOUR NAME TO FFATBIZ@AOL.COM.

Other than that, this race is going to be insane!

Please email me with any questions about the race: ffatbiz@aol.com

Keep your bikes close, dont want to see a "stolen bike in mexico" thread.

[1000-Oaks]

Carry a small Master lock in your pocket and lock it through your rear brake rotor (through a hole that passes through the caliper) if you have to park for bike for even a minute. Keeps theives from riding your bike away - they can drag it but at least they can't pedal away while you try to chase on foot.

Obviously locking with a heavy cable is better, but locking the rotor is still better than nothing when you can't carry a cable.

[skate]

Keep your bikes close, dont want to see a "stolen bike in mexico" thread.

No kidding...That is what keeps me wondering whether or not to go.
Although I have been south many of times. There is always that feeling I get when I go there about a sense of security or lack of.

Although I have been south many of times. There is always that feeling I get when I go there about a sense of security or lack of.

Regarding this isssue... if you do exactly what you do in America and keep your bike in you sights at all times, you're good. There's bike theives all over the world. If you get drunk and leave your bike anywhere, well someone might take it. That's usually called a tourist tax! The only person to blame is you... not Mexico! The best part about the DH crew down there is that they all have our backs. They take care of us. Plus, if you're not on your bike, your bike will be in the hotel room. Simple as that.

Common sense my friends.

The only real issues to consider while in Mexico with fellow American riders are simple:
-Don't pee in public!
-Don't break anything that isn't yours!
-Don't drink and drive.
-And remember the same laws apply in Mexico.

Common sense.

If you don't go to this Urban Race you'll regret it. It's close to home. The food is awesome. It's going to be something worth watching and racing! Good times for sure!
:happydance:

PS: Email me at ffatbiz@aol.com if you're planning on staying with us. I only have 5 rooms reserved. That's 10 people. So far three rooms are taken! Talk to me!

Sorry to hear all these people have common misconceptions about Mexico, more good times for us.

I'm thinking my group will need at least 3 rooms. Can we reserve the whole hotel?

[TYM]

Did one of the Ensenada DH races earlier this year and had a great time. Never once did I feel unsafe. Wish I could make this one. Sounds like it'll be a blast. Urban racing, tacos and cerveza. What more could you ask for?

El Chino

[LOOnatic]

Wow this looks like a choice event

[lovebunny]

manny you have space? i want in for sure! what days do i need off work?

[Alex966]

Manny, I'll take one of those rooms for me and Andy! I'll give you a call, but for sure I'm going!

[FFAT]

Manny, I'll take one of those rooms for me and Andy! I'll give you a call, but for sure I'm going!

Looks like I will be...

[Alex966]

Alf I am meeting up with you. I'm gonna give Stephanie and Dan a call to see if their going, because I just found out Andy isn't gonna be going because he has to work. Since he's gotta work, I definately won't be able to take my car, so I'm gonna try and hitch a ride with Dan and Steph. If they don't go, do you think you might have room for me to roll down with ya? Just wanna know, just in case I need a back-up plan.

[merrrrjig]

My bros not going, and I need a ride. I get off work at 11:00PM on friday too.

[stephanie]

Sorry...I didn't read all the posts before I posted.

We will be going down in Dan's car. If someone can shove their bike in another truck, we can take a person, but it's gonna be tight.

Any other chicas going?

[lovebunny]

k so i dont have the funds to go. have fun peeps. take lots of pics

[FFAT]

Two people per room? We have a problem.

There's a few couples going and for obvious reasons, they would like a room to themselves.

Otherwise, hit me up at ffatbiz@aol.com with your roommate request. If not, tonight you're going to see rooms assigned. And if we get more, we'll figure it out.

Is anyone going that's not on the list?

Nay, the daily driver. I can carry ~6 bikes, one other person comfortably, 2 more sort of cramped, 4 more as a last resort.

Heard Brian Lopes and Minaar might show up...

[T23]

Is there only one hotel people can stay at?

[sunny]

WOO-HOO!! I'm coming for real now. Sent Manny an email.

DHS is coming too, and getting a ride with me.

So, how is the room situation? Hopefully we can find another person or 2 people who need a room (my husband and I have discussed this before... somehow, my going to a race and rooming with 3 guys is much better than my rooming with only one).

See you guys on Sat morning!

[Fonzie18]

Yo,
I see a BooKoo on the list above. Is he really going?

I asked Manny the same thing...Manny said that Andre said that one of his friends, "BooKoo" was going.

Sanj, I asked Manny to get in contact with you guys, he needs some details. Try to contact him via Email, if you need his # call me.

Sunny, GREAT!! Is there any chance that you might have room for an extra person?

[sunny]

Sunny, GREAT!! Is there any chance that you might have room for an extra person?
In my vehicle/on the rack, I have two people and one bike (possibly two bikes).
I have room for:

two more people
or
one more person and one more bike

Let me know what you need. :-)

PS. Where is this Mexican Insurance place? Also, meeting point: we are talking about the BK by Donnie's aren't we?

Yes, the BK right off the freeway. As for the insurance, I would recommend getting it on Friday. I'm not sure what time the insurance place opens.

[FFAT]

Is there only one hotel people can stay at?

There are plenty of hotels in Ensenada. But all the DH riders that I know are poor bastards or bastardettes, like me. So our friend Ruben from Ensenada is helping us out with his uncle's hotel. $40 a night for a room for four people is right down our alley.

Alright, check it: Here's the updated roommate for Saturday night. I'm leaving tomorrow to spend some QT with the lady. I'm going to hand this list over to Ruben's uncle. If you need to get a hold of me, call me up: 619-788-2456. I'm leaving tomorrow midday or so.

I think the hotel only have 12 rooms. If so, we're going to have to bunk up rooms. I know Griz and Dre can be seperated... hahaha, so that's fine. Not to worry, we'll make it happen.

One last note: I have a full keg of Stone Arrogant Bastard. If you're down to tap into that on Saturday evening, donations of $5 will be happily excepted. Nothing like an inexpensive pre-party.

It was great meeting everyone and putting faces to ... well avatars.

And my camera has been with me on afew too many rides/crashes - so most of my pictures are blury... but my buddy took a few good ones (sunny - great shots of you on the steps). Anyone else got good ones?

And my camera has been with me on afew too many rides/crashes - so most of my pictures are blury... but my buddy took a few good ones (sunny - great shots of you on the steps). Anyone else got good ones?

They should be up later today or tomorrow.

I'm working on the getting the final results for everyone.

I've uploaded a few photos and video clips on my site:

Props to everyone that came out to race, party or just hang. Yeah, the border wait probably sucked ass but was there anything else? Doubt it. Good times for sure! :banana:

Sorry for the personal pix in my photo gallery... didn't want to take the time to edit. More video clips uploading each day 'til I'm out of footage.

(kidding..)

[potato grande.]

I noticed that when I was looking through my pictures. I didn't realize it was a V brake until you pointed that out, though. Crazy.

Epic shots guys. Hopefully everyone had a blast, I know I did. Thanks to everyone that went down.

I talked to the event organizers and they were extremely stoked on the turn out as well. Full results are to be posted tomorrow on the "NARO DESIGNS" website linked above.

Keep checking FFATbiz.com for video updates that you will not want to miss, and hopefully MTBphoto.com will post some pics soon.

I want to buy a couple of the photos of me and Dan...do I do that directly through photobucket (it said the pics were low res....)?

Steph

[Slugman]

Just like ^^^, I sent you a PM about getting high res as well.

Although I want the pictures of me, not Steph and Dan (no offense)...

:biggrin:

Hey man, do you have more pictures that you will be uploading during the week?

[potato grande.]

Hey man, do you have more pictures that you will be uploading during the week?

Yeah, I took a lot of pictures (probably too many) at the race that I still need to go through. I definitely want the racers to see whatever pictures I have of them, so I will try to get them up as soon as possible.

Anyway, I hope to get them up by the end of the week.

[merrrrjig]

shoot me an email at mtbphoto(at)gmail.com and I will get back to you.

If the times were combined I would have won.

[Gregor]

[Slugman]

I knew I didn't do that great.... but damn that was pathetic!

My place matched my plate; 11th out of 13. At least it wasn't last :cheers:

[DHS]

no offense to anyone, but after watching each rider hit the course multiple times. those numbers just don't seem right. oh well...
