my bad...I thought it was a competition to see who the best technical rider was...and a lot of people seem to think it's him.

LOL yeah, he's an OK rider I guess........


OK OK.... he's a pretty wicked rider, not taking anything away from the guy, but that's like bringing an anti-aircraft gun to an arm wrestling match isn't it?

:D

Soft and dry in the Kootenays! :d:d:d:d:d:d

This contest sounds a lot like Meteor Mine hillclimbs... Some video of it is on this year's Thunderstruck and Krazy Canadian.

There is a course set up at the bottom with some tight turns and jumps.
You have to pas through some markers at the bottom of the hill, but then you can chose your line up through the trees... It's a pretty steep pull.
It's based on best time.
There are classes, 600, 800, 1000 and mod... Only one 600 made it out last year.
Lots of obstacles, cliffs, trees etc... and always lots of wreckage!
It costs $10 to get in, and there are cash prizes for the racers.

I'll post when I know when it is this year, but it is always a lot of fun. Come on out and check out the gong show!!! Or ad to it ;)

Meteor is not that technical IMO, the bottom part moreso yes than the top but the top is just a straight pull. The course is like they used to run on the BCSF. The top part is steep and needs to be hit straight.

Here's a picture looking down from the top of Meteor.

Looking at that photo on my phone is hard. To tell will a stock 800 make the pull?

That particular pull? No...... ;) LOL

I don't think its what you are looking for as a "technical" rider.

ya heard the about and seen the meteor mines climb on the follow cam video looks good but not exactly what we are looking for. looking for more of some real technical areas to try and break trail into stuff you have been scouting and just wondering what it would be like back there thats the stuff we are after. well guys in the group some great coordinates so far!
