Rail Wars

February 21st, 2010

Rail Wars at Asessippi was a great time. The hill and Xtreme Adrenaline did a great job of putting on the contest and it looked like everyone involved really enjoyed themselves.

For us, the day started with the crew piling into the van in the early morning to make the trek out to Asessippi. Luckliy we had a dvd player and Shrek 2 to keep us occupied for the long drive.

The contest was a pretty decent setup with a host of riders from around the area taking part. Being called Rail Wars, the setup was your choice of a down-rail or flat-box, and a then a barrel jib.

Some of the highlights were: (1) all three of the Class Five riders at the event making it to the finals, (2) Mark showing Kurtis how to tie his bib around is leg, (3) Kurtis missing the finals because he was doing park laps trying to figure out what tricks he should do for the finals (nice work Kurtis); and (4) Mark and Craig taking first and second place respectively.

Young teaches the old. Mark shows Kurtis how to tie your contest bib around your leg.

A fun event that promises to be even better next year. Thanks for the great time everyone!
