Just got a call & email from several world cup racers that have decided to attend the upcoming PRO GRT event in Port Angeles, Washington this weekend!

In addition to TREK WORLD RACING, TEAM GIANT & YETI,

The ATHERTONS (Dan & Rachel), as well as DIRT NORCO (Ben & Dan) will be making the trip up!

We're about to call it the Port Angeles World Cup!

SEE YOU THERE! Soooooo Excited!

 

[NY_Star]

The GRT is really going ahead here!!

Now you just have to keep up this attendance to the East Coast Round cause I can't wait.

 

[bullcrew]

Wahoooo road trip to PA. See you guys there.
Dylan you forgot too mention alot of no-name slow guys will be there as well, HELL Ill fill one of those spots .

Whats the attendance of the whole GRT and NW cup overall, I know us lessor guys filled up fast and unlimited pros....
Total entries???? How many????

Hell of a way to get a bigger roster of fast guys, just plan these for volcanic weekends.

 

[IH8Rice]

is the Port Angeles race at a lift operated mountain or do you shuttle everyone up?

Unlock the gates and fire up the rental trucks boys because "WE GO'N' a DOWNHILLN!"

 

[luiz carlos]

What about:

Greg Minnaar
Steve Smith
Luke Strobel
Bryn Atkinson

Brendog is confirmed? As is one week before US Open and Moster Energy Team always is there?

This is going to be rad!

I am concerned about spectators though. Last year the fans were horrible about staying off the track and I can only see that being worse now.
If I recall correctly one guy hit a lady, a dog and a kid in his 3 attempts at making a race run?
I know that in a few of my practice runs and my race runs folks were on the course and I just kept it charged hoping they would get out of the way

If we make sure to say something to those who run frogger on the course while spectating wether it be practice or race runs and announce it several times possibly post it BIG RED LETERS maybe it will just be the little old lady and the annoying dog or maybe 2 LITTLE dogs that would be better.

Should be a good one! Even got my parents coming out Sunday to watch the action. The last one was such a good time!

 

[downhillracer]

im thinking that planning the pro grt in PA for the weekend after sea otter would be a good idea for the future as well. easy excuse for the big names to come up the coast after sea beaver every year.

if you can plan a large volcano eruption canceling all flights that would probably help too

 

[DBR X6 RIDER]

Damn...becoming quite the event! Congrats!! It's going to be ridiculous (in a good way) and easily the biggest event in this state since the WC @ Snoqualmie back in the mid-late 90's. Is it Friday yet?!?

 

[IH8Rice]

the week before the US Open, the Pro GRT race is at Platty in NY

 

[motomike]

So who's gonna take the win?

[davetrump]

[davetrump]

Helmet cams don't do it justice. And you, sir, are

haha, you're special

think/read twice before taking yourself so serious next time

 

[4130biker]

I will start/restart the espec...

1 Greg Minnar
2. Luke Strobel
3. Brandon Faircloth
4. Bart McDaniel
5. Aaron Gwin

There's my guess!

 

[davetrump]

two more reasons they should have just stayed at seaotter....

Pro GRT Round 1 on Vimeo

Pro GRT Short on Vimeo

please don't get as confused as 4130 this event is going to be rad

 

[jonKranked]

Hey, I have no clue who you are. Don't know if you've ever been there, or are just some hater. Beleive it or not, there ARE people who say dumb things like you just did and mean it. I thought maybe you were Ice

 

[bizutch]

in defense of 4130, trump was pretty vanilla with the post. As an FYI, trump never takes anything seriously other than his siestas and shirtless bath parties.

Sam does a "Fraser" at 3:00 Pro GRT Round 1 on Vimeo

what exactly is a "Fraser"?

 

[IH8Rice]

what exactly is a "Fraser"?

he humped the sh!t outa his bars at a Platty race and went head over heals

I'm disappointed that you didn't post the video simultaneously since I know you have it close at hand

i dont have the video. ive been trying to find the picture sequence, but cant seem to find it


edit: silly me:

[davetrump]

Smiley literacy is my downfall.

haha, no worries 99% of the people on here knew exactly what I was getting at

don't feel too bad... though the second set of video's I posted you really missed the boat.

deep breaths people.... PA is gonna be rad (pretty sure I already said that)

and butch, please add kick ass DH races to things i like to take seriously... a close second to wearing my speedo to the beach all over the world with Haderer

 

[davetrump]

Dude, are you special ?

You missed what was obvious sarcasm, not once but twice

Who's being the Douche Bag ? Keep you immature comments out of here

For the third time... This race is gonna be RAD






p.s. It's you're

 

[luiz carlos]

the week before the US Open, the Pro GRT race is at Platty in NY

Hmmmm, ok sry!

 

[davetrump]

Was it obvious, or do you just suck at being funny?
Your condescending BS is about as boring as your “sarcasm”.

You misunderstood someone, and then called them a douchbag because YOU misunderstood.

Sarcasm was pretty obvious. If smiley faces and reference to being worse than seaotter were not enough there is even that part saying it will be rad? AND followed by links to awesome videos showing how cool the event was last year.

lots of folks got it, you didn't... get the **** over it, and stop throwing insults around.


back to PA being RAD...

EDIT: looks like someone removed their posts, took there ball, and went home

feel free to delete mine and keep this thread on track.

actually leave the NOT LAME videos I posted because they are cool.

 

[buildyourown]

4. Bart McDaniel

There's my guess!

You forgot Lars, Bryn, and Keen.

I'd put them above Minnar, Faircloth and Gwin just because they've been down the course 100 times already.

Nice...

Not all WC riders, but it can give us a idea how they are for 2010 season.

Is the course the same of Luke Strobel chest camera?

Looks good for a WC preview.

Yes, it is.

 

[DBR X6 RIDER]

Pro course is fast as hell with some nice, tight corners spread all around and a couple/few features. It's a full-throttle course from top-to-bottom.

I'm racing Cat 2 this time around and that track is actually pretty techy as far as the tight and twisty goes. Since I HAVE to work tomorrow, I'll y'all out there Fri-Sun!!!



On the side-topic...
Anybody that takes anything on the internet seriously probably needs to ride more and post less. <-----smiley for sarcastic purposes!

Isn't EVERYBODY??? Hahaha, no...I'm going to handicap myself and ride the 6" rig this weekend. Only doing a couple/few races this season and didn't renew my license.

***zero sarcasm in this post***
