2004 Ontario Trials Tour (Ryan Atkins' "BOOM BOOM shizniddlebam gap-jam")

2004 Ontario Trials tour

I cam up with this idea, tell me what you think…

Ok, the weekend could start (Thursday) with everyone meeting in Toronto
for 2 days of awesome riding. We could set up a competition at the
“Beaches” which I can vouch is awesome trials! This is a lot of really
good trials within a small space, so no one would wander off, and
everyone would get to know each other, hang out, and have a good time.

Then, the following day, (Friday) we could have a big group urban ride
in downtown Toronto. We wouldn’t compete that day, just ride for fun,
and just hang out. Generally a leisure ride, and then set up for some
group activity that night.

That night everyone comes to Brooklin (where I live) to ride a bit, and
sleep, and then we could leave early the next morning (Saturday) to head
off to my cottage. That day we could do some wakeboarding, and
waterskiing, and some unicycle cliff jumping incorporated in with trials
riding.

The following day (Sunday) would be a big competition, a 2 part
competition incorporating natural and man-made stunts. It would start
out in the morning with the comp right around my cottage, then in the
afternoon, we would go down the lake to a peninsula, and maybe some
other island (in boats) to ride trials. (good riding!) After the
competition, we could head back to my cottage for some swimming, and
dinner, and then sleep.

The next morning (Monday) we could all drive to Ottawa to ride around
downtown, and the parliament buildings. This would also be a leisure
ride.

Last day of the competition (Tuesday) would be a comp at Hogs Back. This
would be a lot of fun.


The main focus of this weekend wouldn’t be competition, but it would be
just used to keep things interesting, with an “Ontario Trials king!”
award up for grabs. The competitions would all be based on the U-rating
system, however if there was a lack of good sections, or a tie from a
previous day, one of the comps might use “NATS” rules.

There would be free lodging at my house and for everyone at my cottage,
and I’m thinking of about a $50 CAN charge for food, and the medals. All
transportation would have to be arranged for, but I’m sure there would
be a few spots here and there for people to bum rides.


Thanks for reading, and that’s all. Please post your comments. I’m
thinking this comp could be the first weekend of the summer. (What a
good way to start the summer!)

showing some of the riding around my cottage, in brooklin, and a bit of
downtown Toronto.

Dang, Ryan. I was just there. Why didn't you think of this earlier? I'll
be back in mid December. Is that too soon?

I absolutely love the idea...

But i'm afraid my biggest hurdle will be geting the parents to OK the
idea. I would try my hardest to make it.

I'm in the same predicament as XWonka.

If it's after school ends, definitely. If it's not, then I won't make
it.
My school year ends around June 5 or 6. Will it be after this?

Maybe I'll make it up there if I can stay with somone again like I did
with Nathan at the CA MUni weekend. There's money saved for something
like this. And maybe I'll have the video finished by then, or better
yet, not have the video finished and be able to film more Anyway,
this looks really awesome. So when is everybody coming to Tucson?

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.
That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their
shoes.

but it's Summer already . Or, haven't you guys seen Santa with his
sunnies on? I'll be heading over to England sometime next year so I
guess I won't say no just yet

Would love an (extremely good) excuse to stop by in Toronto again too.
