How can there be freeride contests? Freeriding is about riding without competetion..... Its like putting ketchup on your ice cream....it just shouldnt be.......
HAHA, but it would be fun to watch. Any big names make it to these events?
I think i may enter..looks fun.....hmmmm..... :think: sounds fun, a 20 foot hip.....with "natrual" landing...

I think that's the easiest part of the course. There's a big hill before it, no problem. If I could just figure out how to ride skinnies I'd be set. :thumb:
Don't anybody tell Danny Swann about the contest, :nono: He'd win for sure. :sneaky:
Toshi I'll hook up with you at 6:30 pm for some urban, OK. :)

Any word on the Canfield Toshi?

they charged my cc on the 10th (and chris, i think, said he'd be shipping the frame that afternoon), so...
the only section that could be close to 3" x 10' would be the final log section at the end of gp, before the hike up the hill. i'd say more like 6" x 6' tho. :oink:
Toshi,
your getting a F1? I'd really like to know how you like it. It was high on my list in the past.......sponsorship and timing changed that list.....

Im really interested , does any one have pics of some of the stunts? My roomate said he will do it if I do, both of us will do it for fun, I think it would be cool. 6'x6' is cool, thats no biggie but 10' starts freakin me out... :D and 3"..when my tires are 2.5 ...hmmm..Im no math wiz..but ****!!!! :)

Those are my pics. I was going to post them over here when the thread started but couldn't remember my password. Word is there will be some additional ttf's on the trail. I'll try and find out more detail on Friday when I'm there. If he's ok with me posting more details I'll do it. Otherwise if you ride out there just keep your eyes peeled. Should be busy out there on Friday/Saturday.
Twisted- I was the guy with the white truck that parked at the road gap two Saturdays ago.

The more people who show up the better. Show up to ride even if you don't want to enter the contest. There are lots of other trails located near the contest trail, GP. :cool:

Don't get TOO excited about the TV coverage. It's some cable station based in Florida. They are covering the big events. I don't know what kind of program they are putting together..

Gentlemen,
I was out there today. I didn't talk with the builders- but it appears there will be new stunts for the event. The "teeter" has been improved. After the teeter the trail will be considerably different until the "ski jump." I wouldn't say 3" wide 10' feet up- but it will be very cool for those that like elevated semi-skinny into drops...

i was out there saturday and sunday. how was the teeter changed? it seemed the same as ever, only i actually rode the whole section today (before i'd fall off the ladder in the turn) :cool: . the uncompleted exit to that section does look quite sweet :thumb:

When the "teeter" was first done the "weighted" side was heavy and took effort to make it move. Getting up on it also took some speed because you were nearly riding up a curb. It now appears some of the weight was taken out, and the entry has been shaped for easy entry.

Registration is at 8 am in Hood River.
I checked out the course friday. Looks like a mile of skinny logrides and ladders with turns up about 8', and 2 jumps. Not my idea of freeride. If they included lower gp with it's drops that would be better. Or frankenstein or x chorus x. I'm no good at skinnies so I'm not going.

You said that Lars won. Where is he from and do you know how what the other placing was? I didn't make it out until the end.

Am I the only one who thought there were too many skinnies?
Not enough drops, jumps, and stunts?

I was there friday, saw the new elevated skinny and knew I'd look like a clown if I tried to compete. The other trails are way fun.
