Fair question.
Worst thing about the website are all the muppets that jump on peoples oppinions and just assume they know more then other people about the topic.
So many f u ckwits on here thats for sure.

Well, he made the assumption after looking at 1 photo, i think its fair enough people call him for it!

So he didn't attend but assumed it was lame based on last years event? Then blamed the assumption on the scooters, BMX and roller blades...
Last years evetn didn't have scooters or bmx or roller blades.. Or MTB or bands for that matter. It was luge only
2008 had all of the above except scooters and where "roller blades" = DH inline. Guys hooking down the mount at 90+km/hr. Say what you want about roller blade but I found Dh inline impressively ballsy.
Every one I've spoken to who attended the 2008 event loved it
Every one I've had feed back from of this years event loved it.
Yet one guy who didn't go and obviously has made false assumption on several things sees fit to bag it on two different threads?
AHH THERE WE GO PERFECT EXAMPLE. HOW THE F*** DO YOU KNOW THAT HE ONLY LOOKED AT ONE PHOTO? If you look in this thread, you will read that he has either been to one previously or watched it... I cant remember as i read it this morning.
You mate are a joke.

Because there are barely any photo's up on the net yet and he didn't attend either.
Seeing as he was wildly off the mark with his negative assumption he was fairly called out on it.
I think he's realised he jumped to conclusions a bit so kudos to him for swallowing his pride and to the others for letting it rest. It's now your turn to settle the fuck down and stop acting like a tosspot
1 Photo, yeah mate.
Not like anyone cares anymore, but:
-I have seen highlights from the previous 2 years events.
-I have looked at a number of photos and videos of the race just past.
-I have friends who raced in both the first and this one.
-I have seen the consecutive advertising campaigns over the past 3 years.
My original post was not baseless. It looks like the downhill event was awesome (Thanks mostly to thecat and CTMBC), but I still think the overall event was lame.
I also expressed an opionion regarding the image of MTB when associated with an 'extreme' event such as this. I am then told that people 'don't see my point', while simultaneously a thread appears about sponsorship troubles

It's not marketed as an extreme event. It's a gravity sport festival.I also expressed an opionion regarding the image of MTB when associated with an 'extreme' event such as this. I am then told that people 'don't see my point', while simultaneously a thread appears about sponsorship troubles
Since posting the spono thread we've had several companies approach us about being onboard next year
My photos from the 3 days. still heaps more to come

Wasnt an assumption or an oppinion like i said earlyer, It was actually a question.
So everyone is wrong.
I think it's awesome because lots of scooter riders and street runners might buy dh bikes and really grow the sport.......................................
Back in the day they did similar stuff in the states with extreme-type comps and it really made dh look like a wanna-be sport IMO and that of many others even back then.
It's exposure but is it good exposure? I think it's a pretty embarrassing really. If you want something - sport, business, person - to look professional you need to present an appropriate image. If you want it to look amateurish and a bit kooky - Newton's Nation

Feeling old
I guess it's the way Pinkgoat framed the question
There are ways to ask a question that elicit a civil and constructive response
I would judge by your ranting, capitals, shit spelling etc
That you would have no fucking idea in the world how to do that either
You tool!
Your a shit judge then.

I'd rather hang at an event with the scooters and "aggressive inliners" than the increasing amount of whiney bitches in downhill.
Be happy that people are willing to spend their time to organise an event for you and quit your bitching. You are entitled to an opinion, but seriously. If you don't like it, ride a road bike. You'll fit in.
