And we'll be camping out Sat night, so we'll be up late and playing / running on Sunday.

I agree with Ty on the man made places... but Lutz is fun for a Polar Bear club run.

I thought Red Rocks was off limits? Has this changed? If it's not off limits, then I would vote for Red Rocks as well.

I also vote for Buffalo Creek and Coal Creek. The small park in Thornton wasn't bad either for a local spot. I'd still like to see something at Johnny Park again. It's USFS land so camping isn't an issue, and having something more North might get more people out. I know Toka travels quite a bit for events...something more North might be a nice change of pace.

Wish I could but gotta work, taking Thursday-Tuesday off this week to go to Crawlapalosa, and taking the weekend of my birthday off as well so can't do more this month.

Adding Horsetooth to the list would be sick as that place is prolly one our best spots!!

Answer your phone sometime! Or call me?

Red Rocks is off limits without proper permits and insurance work in place. However I can get this paper work in place if we would like to do an event there. I just need at least a month or two notice to get everything worked out.

As for Johnny Park I am open to new locations, I have never seen it though, nor do I know where it is. If you could post some info. in this thread it could help everyone make a decision.

Well that makes sense. I'll call you today.

Horsetooth we be a great addition to the list, its got my vote.

I have some bad news right now though. A photography workshop came up on October 22nd that I need to go to. So we can either change that date or you guys can do it without me. I do have another idea though. I will get with Patrick and see if we can work the master plan out today.

Stay tuned.

Johnny Park is halfway between Lyons and Estes Park. Here are some old links you can check out to get an idea of some of the terrain:

Interest in an actual "crawling" spot in Longmont?

Interest in an actual "crawling" spot in Longmont?

Also, since it's USFS land, shooting is allowed if people wanted to do that for awhile as well.

That looks awesome, you got my vote. I love to shoot as well and I have a few fun toys to bring with me.

That's pretty much my list too.

rollover3t · 10-06-2011, 11:42 PM

I am nobody to decide these these issues having only been in it a couple of years. However, I feel as Todd does! It used to be fun! Comp guys used to come to scale events to have fun! I personally want fun back in scale and wont be in it to win it. I will come out to see good friends and meet new ones and always help to promote the events when i can. Thank you.

C*H*U*D · 10-07-2011, 09:04 AM

Not sure how many of you were at the Rocas scale event, but that was a blast. I started thinking about why it was so much fun and there are a few key points that stood out to me.

1. Nobody likes to sit around waiting for others to finish their runs. People come out to drive. Ty's courses at RR were fun because the field was split, and half of us ran at the same time, along with a partnered judge. This made for very quick courses with the added excitement of catching or being caught by someone else.

2. Judging sucks. And having someone that understands all the comp rules puts that person in the crappy position of working all day. Again, Ty's rules were simple and all the judge had to do was watch one person, and make sure he/she cleared the gates clean. So simple even I could do it.

I'm not saying his rules are perfect, or that there's no room for a few tweaks, but I think Ty hit it pretty close. We ran the same "Time/Clean Gate" format at the Crawl Space on Monday and I thought it worked well. Because of space, we ran everyone by themselves but just watched for clean gates.

We did have a blast on Monday. I think it was in part because we just waqnt to have fun. when Brandon and I set it up we made sure that the FUN part came first. Rules are great when it's a comp for money or trophies or a specific style of comp but if its just for fun keep the ules to a minimum and enjoy yourselves. If you guys don't mind the honor system and making some kind of exception to the water hazards for the rigs that don't have it I think the turnout will be huge. I will make as many as I can and try to bring everyone that i know thats into the scale scene. When we did a survey of the scaler ppl we know everyone said just keep it simple and fun and we will be there. Just my oppinion, hope it helps.

Thanks
Jerry

So what's the scoop...has this been shelved, are we going without them or is there a date that works for both Patrick and Ty?

I'm pretty open until November 14th. After that I'm out due to my girlfriend having foot surgery, and I'll be her gopher for awhile.

Colohunter · 10-09-2011, 11:12 PM

I really hope this kicks off we are all watching and waiting for the schedule to pop up.

Still looking for some interest guys. I count 8 people saying they will come to events in this thread.

If you guys want to do this spread the word.

Abavuso · 10-10-2011, 08:42 AM

I'll come to all the events that don't conflict with training.

ozyint · 10-10-2011, 10:32 AM

Well per our conversation last night, I assume you know I am in. But on the ones that are a little farther like palmer ect my only vote is just do those once a month, then a little bit closer one for the other run.

Rogue · 10-10-2011, 04:48 PM

I know that Jeff and I are out for the 22nd. I tried to get in contact with 3 others that usually came out to scale events, but still have not gotten a conformation either way as to what they are going to do.

Location and dates are what will have me be able to make it. I have no interest in running on man made objects. Palmer Park, although a good spot is just too damn far for me to really want to make it. Red Rocks, Johnny Park, Coal Creek, Buffalo Creek and Mt. Evans are always great spots and would get my vote.
