Next Thursday.

First Fast Crusade event of the year and you all better be there. Starts at 6 on Thursday April 15th, you will have 15 minutes to look over your manifests and then an hour to retrieve as many photos (digital camera or camera phone is fine) of landmarks on the manifest and make it back to the start. Each landmark will have different point values and every minute after the hour counts for a 1 point deduction. This event is open to any kind of bike but for those riding fixed you will get a 2 point bonus if you finish before the hour. There will be prizes for the top 3 riders so get all your friends together and come have a super fun time on your bikes. We will also be having some after race events - sprints, long skid, etc.

Duluth Snow Olympics at Chester Bowl

We held an event yesterday at Chester Bowl - it was AWESOME! Fox21 came out and interviewed us and filmed some of the riders - check it out here to see the video and read the article. There were over 30 kids out on the hill competing and having fun. Taylor from FOD, Me, TJ, Zach, and Sam were the judges for the event (and the set-up and tear down crew). Chester let us put together a super fun park for the kids - starting with a 15 foot down bar into 3 more options; a kicker over a cone, a 12 foot down culvert and a 10 foot flat box. A huge thank you goes out to all the sponsors - Continental Ski and Bike, FOD, CandyGrind, and Privateer (Sam if you have a website add it in the comments). Also a big thanks to Sarah for putting this all together. Here are a bunch of photos from the competition.
