Squamish Double Dog Dare

[Shakes]

The countdown is on.

Beyond the Valleycliffe of the Dolls freeride challenge is quickly approaching.

SATURDAY MAY 29th

The course is looking super pimp and the new sections are definitely worth the work being put into them. Not to mention the winner’s trophy is sweet. Winner judged by style over speed by the fully trained Dare Doll’s.

What else can I tell you… Epic ride with style points awarded. Fruit stand with all you can eat melons. Free Beer and personal Pizza after the ride at the Brew Pub plus some crazy ass prizes. What else could you possibly want in an event.

There you’ll find registration forms, pictures from last year and a map of this years course.

Oh yeah, and this year being hung over isn’t an excuse, it’s a category.

What do you say, shall we let the insanity begin?:rocker:

[NooNer]

sick!

[niXon]

Why who could this be. Why would she be at a bike event when she doesnt ride.

[The_Real_Yeti]

looks like a cool event

[Biker Kid]

hey bryan, I don't think I'm gonna be able to ride it this year, but I can probably help out if you need it. let me know if you need help.

[Ed Anger]

Any chance of letting us know the course beforehand?

[Shakes]

just got back from working on a new section that can only be described as :thepimp:

a map will be unleashed soon the course will hit the raa, lacking head, for angie, meet your maker, cougar ridge, labour of love, doggie style and joint effort.

tee-hee-hee

if you can't ride but want to be part of the craziness many fun positions are still availiable. don't be shy :D

[Zedbra]

Is the log finished on LOL?

[Shakes]

Bwa-ha-ha.

soooo close. just a wack of slats to be nailed on but the saw work is done. props to the mighty chris mcrumb and syncros for the fine work.

I'm picking up nails and I believe/hope tomorrow will be the inagural ride :D

can't wait.

[Action Hero]

Jeez, I really wish all compititions had a hangover catagory

[pete]

[ES-OH-ES]

I'm gonna be there, if I don't have to work.

[Shakes]

As do I.

I might finally be able to actually place somewhere in the top 20 that way!!

[pete@nsmb.com]

For worst hangover, you mean?

I'm sure I could podium for that with ease...I've trained pretty hard!

[pete@nsmb.com]

[stealing Corey's trademark thread hijack method]

You have over trained. I think some grom will come along and show you what a real hangover is, throwing around the tequila with no regard to the circumstances, inventing new ways to throw it down the hatch (on one wheel), and puking in the new school style.

[barry]

*clears throat*

[Shakes]

the first year everyone seemed hung over.

last year however Mike Melosh took top honour. as legend now has it he settled his bar tab 3 1/2 hours before the event and slept in, rather, on the parking lot. :D

good times... good times...

[brian]

keeping the streak alive. I'm in

[Shakes]

noyce!

glad to hear it fella'

will 'it' be ready?

[brian]

i doubt it will be ready because i haven't had a chance to work on it. but we could include it as it is now. is it too late to include it. i figure i have had long enough to do it without doing it.

Point taken... :lol: :beer:

[ES-OH-ES]

[barry]

[Biker Kid]

so bryan, how many people are you expecting so far?

Ha – that’s a funny one.

From this event I expect only fun and you cant put that in #’s :)

There are lots of “I’ll be there”’s but you just never know.
That’s the price for throwing an event catering to nutoriously last minute freeriders.

All’s I know is that there’s plenty room for everyone and the sponsors are showing a lot of support going above and beyond for this event. Lot’s of premo goodies rolling in.:thepimp:

holy crap - i just saw this map for the first time. That's a ton of climbing for a free-ride course. I like it!!!

[bunny]

will there be shishkabobs? i really really want to come... but can't possibly ride for that long without some kind of warm protein on a stick... beef jerky just won't do.
ps. this is a serious question. thank you.

if its what im thinking of (dope slope?) then it should definetly be in as is. very nice line for sure, completed or not. especially considering the alternative...

[brian]

nope. that's not it. there's only about 3 or 4 people that have seen it.

[Shakes]

re: warm protein on a stick. alas the kebab stand was an idea better left on paper. what if we set the jerky on fire? :)

re: brian's 'secret?' line. SO?? should we plug er' in?
This weekend I'm grunting on LOL and Joint effort.
If it's just a matter of punching the trail to and from we could probably do it quick?

and barry - As much as I wanted to include dope slope it just didn't make the cut. what's wrong with the alternative? I love schooling people on that choppy rock :D

[Zaskar]

sweet fucking jesus i hope i can ride by then :thepimp:

[Shakes]

it's all out there now baby.

now on the site are all the forms and info.

and I took a stab at describing the course.

[Biker Kid]

Hey bryan, I watched your channel 10 interview tonight. great stuff :) Disappointed that there was no me in the video clips though, I guess my hack point and shoot style wasn't good enough?

The course sounds killer, I wish I could ride it this year, I guess settling for fruit bitch will have to do though.

[barry]

fruuuuiiiittt biiiitch :D:D

dont worry ill chill with you for hours :D

[white ri0t]

I shall be there, what will be my last ride in the country for a while :)

[Biker Kid]

hmmmm

[Shakes]

so this is it.

going flagging and gettin ready for the zaniness tomorrow.

See you there.

unless of course you're a pussy :D

[Zedbra]

Shakes - me and barry just went out and did a few of the trails. That new line on LOL is sketchy when it is wet! Can't wait!

Where will registration be in the morning?

[LeeLau]

we did half the course last Monday. Oh man oh man - you guys are in for a whole pile of hurt!

[brian]

i'm still aching from last year.

[Zedbra]

And is that teeter on Joint Effort going to be finished?

[Shakes]

it will be built while we ride :)

pray for no rain.

registration is at ravens plateau
end of westway in valleycliffe.

there's a map online.

see you there,
br

ps. everythings sketchy when it's wet.
no breaks till bottom.

Good thing barry is riding, and not 'helping to build'

[barry]

...or turning.


see y'all there. and think of it though, rain won't be tooo bad. the goalposts on cougar and the new LOL will be about the only stuff we wont be able to comfortably hit in the slick.

im pretty stoked :D

[Shakes]

to those about to rock we salute you.

it's 7. it's been raining since 5 -

you're right barry. the only thing rain has done has made the double dog dares into triple dog dares :D

i should go get ready.

fingers crossed.

[Zedbra]

Well I think I'll stick to the odd double, but there will be a few lines I think I shall bypass.

Gonna be sweet. 3 hours....:D

[LeeLau]

Ok How'd it go? Those rock faces must have been interesting

[barry]

definetly one of the best rides of my life. the people were what made it though. EVERYONE was stepping it up to a new level, hitting stuff for the first time alot, and just getting so pumped up off each others energy. and people on their big bikes were really givin'r up the hikes. pedalling like mad. it was such a good vibe. 5 hours riding in total. including safety meetings and fruit booth visits :D

i think that the course being wet was a plus personally, it brought everyone together in a way that it wouldn't have if it were dry. it was a totally different riding experience, so locals and newcomers alike were diving into the unknown. watching people bomb down the last cougar ridge rockface was INSANE. absolutely incredible. unfortunatly no one hit the "goalposts". probably a good thing though :D

im sure some sick shots were taken as well as some video on joint effort? which has been stepped up extremely. probably the scariest teeter around, and quality too. even better than high and dry's v1.

once again. best ride this year if not ever. i cant comment on the afterparty, but im sure it rocked equally...

[Shakes]

another best day... cool.

it was definately a great day.

aparantly blair did 'hit' the goalposts. just not with the big group.

more details to follow of course.

the hangover isn't even finished and plans for next year are already underway.

[Zedbra]

Hey barry you stoner - me and Mike hit the goalposts. Though Mike vivited the tree on the left. I think Chris did too - all Squamish locals. I cleaned Cougar Ridge - I just wanted to finish! The leg cramps were killing me.

Whoulda thunk a pack a day smoker would finish first?

[Think Fast Hippie]

It was an awesome ride.... great to see so many people out in the slime and muck:P Hmm what happened to Diggs????:nerd:
See ya all next year!!! And biggest thanks to Brian for getting all the logistical headaches out of the way!!! Oh, and congrats on the rugrat to come!:thepimp:
