Sacramento Scaler GTG/Comps

[BCM]

You can make your own tow strap they are very easy, there are several post on how. I made a couple and they came out great, using shoe string, glue, and heat shrink. check it out. I would love to be at the G6 at Folsom Lake tomorrow but it's my Daughters Birthday. I had alot of fun at the Reno G6 and will be at the next Reno G6 on 03/12/2011

I still have your pull-pall see you tomorrow

If I'm just coming out to watch the G6, what would be a good time to get there?

[scalinrox]

The tech check in usually starts at 8 and the fun begins by 9. Make sure you bring a camera if you have one

[scalinrox]

I thought I would do a quick cut and paste to make sure everyone knows where the G6 is happening.....
Here is the location of the comp:

Parking is across the road from the Rodeo Arena and its a short walk down to the river.

you guy's who made the G6 today, do you think the area on the white stage we used, is an alternative to going to folsom point. i understand it's totally different terrain, but did you see some area that you could spend a couple of hours at, and not get bored. i knew the lower area was great just a long walk to get to there.

please post up your thoughts, i'm just looking for some feedback.

thanks John

I think any of the areas would work. Don't remember the colors but the 100 gate was pretty hard core for scaler even though it was pretty fun. What's your thoughts

[Tom_Swanson]

I only saw White and yellow and I wOuld spend more time on yellow than white but I don't think it was Folsom point comparable my dad and I went to Folsom point Friday and just re crawled all the known spot and found some new ones it was like the first day there all over again

[jscalecrawler]

I liked it alot. was hella fun. i liked it more then fp and dp jus cus its free and has endless trails the white course was pretty easy. yellow course was 100 gates it was tough but was sick. i would go anytime maybe tuesday???

Thanks to everyone that put it on. Hopefully you guys do another one in SAC soon!!!

[scalinrox]

I saw areas in all three stages that were similar to Folsom Point and Dotens. When Tom and I were at FP on Friday we both enjoyed the wide open area with so many challenges, some that were new. My experience at Dotens is similar.

The two big differences is obviously paying to park and maybe more importantly.......the Poison Oak. As long as the water stays down I would rather pay to park and go to either Dotens or Folsom Point then have to worry about poison Oak.......

So if anyone is looking to go play next week let me know I have some free time on my hands

[scalinrox]

I have to agree with Tom. I saw lots of terrain at the G6 that was similar to Folsom Point and Dotens. The two big differences were the cost of parking and.......The Poison Oak! The Poison Oak was pretty thick at the G6. As long as the water level stays down, I would prefer to stay away from Poison Oak.

Do you want to do this with or without some sort of a scale club? I've talked to a few clubs about their idea of starting something here in Sacramento. I like the G6 concept but also like the regular scale comp and (James) finishline had a though about having 3 courses and 1 course a G6 type and the other 2 regular timed. Do we have a series with prizes for top 3 or 5 depending on how many compete for the whole series. Etc etc. Input welcome

[Tom_Swanson]

The g6 concept/rules are the best I have ever read about and ever been to. A penalty for backing up in a rig that weighs almost twice as much as a comp rig and is five times more top heavy I have a problem with that.

This is a great idea, it would be so much fun to have a local comp every month and get to now some local scalers. I'M IN LET ME KNOW WHAT WE CAN DO TO GET THIS STARTED.

[jscalecrawler]

i like g6 rules but i would like alittle more stricter tech.. i like that thers no reverse pently and no hand of god, using your own winch with no penlty. havin a certain amount of scale items would hav to b a must. It would b cool to have somethg if you win. im fine with jus a trophy.. and braggin rights!! lol I think makin a club would probly be best and i like how each person has a scale buddy and it works on an honor system.

why do we have to have a "comp" to throw down some gates. as much as you guy's get out, get some tennis balls at Kmart, 20 for 8 bucks, better deal than wallyworld, dollar tree timer and have at it. i don't go out without gates and a timer, just in case i break out my comp rig for some practice. if everyone had 10 gates you could make a course as long as you want, or just make it a trail run with out time involved if you like.


thanks for the input on the G6 area. i want to get out there and run some sections we were going to use, but thought were too dangerous for the challenge. if anyone is interested in going i'll post up a few days early to let you know when, probably not till the 19th at the earliest, got the "Maddness" next saturday, can't wait.
