THURSDAY SEPT. 1OTH AT YETI'S GRIND, A HARDSCARBBLE SINGLETRACK COALITON FUNDRAISER FOR THE FIRST ROUND OF SIGNS

Watch the trailer HERE
Next Thursday evening at 7:30 pm, the Hardscrabble Singletrack Coalition will hold it's first fundraiser to help with the cost of our first round of signs up on BLM property. We will be showng the movie Klunkerz which was produced by Billy Savage who I interviewed on A2B at Sea Otter this spring. The movie is outstanding documentaion of the history and roots of the sport we love, Mountain Biking. Admission is $10 (despite the poster saying $15, my bad), or whatever you can afford, and this gets you in the door to watch the flick as well as one cocktail (beer or wine) from Yetis. Proceeds will go partially to Nate and Tara of Yeti's to pay for the cocktails, and the rest will go to stickers we need to purchase for the Carsonite signs that the BLM is supplying the coalition with for FREE. Please come and hang out and watch this great flick. We will also raffle off the DVD after the movie compliments of Charlie Brown of the Mountain Pedaler in Eagle. Bring fold up chairs as it's looking like a BIG crowd will be there and we want everyone to have seats!
With that said, thanks to the BIG crew who showed last night to complete the much anticipated new stretch of singletrack which has been in the works for two years...you'll have to ask one of them how to find it....

And, I want to ad this comment on to this post from Billy Savage himself.

"If folks can't make it to the screening they can still get copies of Klunkerz on my website http://www.klunkerz.com/. I don't have distribution anymore, so you have to get them from my site, or out of the back of my truck:). Ride on,Billy"

Support Billy and what he has done for the world of Mountain Biking, buy this DVD for a birthday or holiday present or somtin. He busted ass to get this movie together!

So I'm reminiscing after watching part of the movie, and the conversation comes up about the old Pearl Pass ride during Fat Tire Bike week in Crested Butte which was at one time an overnighter, old beater trucks drove your camping gear up near the top of Pearl Pass and we had a huge kegger up there before descending into Aspen hungover as a dog the next day. I did this ride and raced the third annual Fat Tire Bike Week race up Schofield in 1984. There were two dudes there riding these fuckin crazy looking bikes and I have NEVER been able to find them anywhere, until today. I remembered the company was called Velocitech, but I could not remember the model of the bike. I knew it was a Colorado company, well, sure enough, good ol google turned up the Mountain Machine from Velocitech, this thing was waaaay out there. Check it out, Looks like a Travis Brown invention...this was for real in 1984. The first climbing specific machine...
