So who's down for some FQX contests??

[Dan_Guetter]

I know i can't wait another year for this dirtriot to come around, so im talking to some people and gettin some legit contests across the US.

The only way for the sport to take the next leap is if we can get some people to ride at these contests...

Anyone down?


PM me with any questions you may have

thanks,

Dan

[NTPRacing#19]

Where about are we talking for these shows? please PM me we should discuss this

[bignorm]

but i have a proposition for u. there is a new quad/bike shop in town and some people i know bought it and run it now and they are having a grand opening day sometime in the spring, and they said we can dio a show there. we are having our trailer ramp built and i am building the landing there. if u guys are interested lemme know also a local radio station is coming out.

the location is in south beloit IL

[mxquadracer]

hmm...I have a few boys who may be interested, depending on where at...

The northeast is where its at. Theres sooo many people that would try out, as long as its not on the day of an neatv-mx or national.

Id skip a race to do it.

I was sick of seeing 8 shows in a row on the hbomb site all in so.cal.

[ramp rida 55]

[ramp rida 55]

Anything nearby (give me the where/s and when/s) - I'd be game, 100%.

Well, whoever enters, Jon Derek and Garret are gonna win!

<northeast riders post your fqx pics here>

[Neece#303]

I definately know a few Texas boys that would be up for the challenge... just depending on when and where it was .... we are running Nats so depends on if it conflicted with a race :D

who knows maybe id get top 10

[HndaRdr400]

Yeah you can, All we have to do is beat them up before the show

[flyin#5]

i would be there. the only problem i see is the lack of competitors in one area. i say there be at least two contests. one held somewhere in the wisconsin/mn part of the country, and one in the northeast like atkins said. seems like most of the freestylers are in those areas.

Theres a decent amount in the texas area, aswell.

J.G. got his start by going to a fqx contest in his area.

[hondaracer305]

If its anywhere around georgia, id like to enter. i was planning on entering a monster truck rally/quad freestyle demo next year if they hold one in Atlanta Georgia in the Georgia dome.

[outacontrol31]

if there's one around the texas area, there's a bunch of us who will show up and show what's up

[raptor146]

Have one in Bernaska (Nebraska). You'll get a good turnout and its located it the middle of the country so people will come.

go to illinoise its in the mid of the country adn it has alot of riders except i like in mo but o well i could drive

[Rootar]

im not far from all you guys in texas if yall had one i definetly come prolly ride if i was finished with my 400s suspension

[Neece#303]

have you ever gone out to Red River? has a quad ramp out there

[Rootar]

the only track ive been to is donaldson mx going towards little rock where is red river at (isnt it close to texarkana or atleast kinda close) i hit a ramp as long i had someone to follow and as long as it was a crazy distancelike over 60feet

[Wired]

if we do this... i take that back WHEN we do this you guys have to make sure your ready for a ramp at 65ft minimum. comprende :macho

all you guys have to do is show up and ride and we'll take care of the rest!

[Rootar]

i understand what you are sayin wired but im gonna have too hit a ramp a few times before i come or ill just come watch but by the end of the summer i should be goin further than 65 hopefully my dad will understand that this is what i really want to do and finish one the side pieces i cut to start a ramp (after i cut one of the curves he told me to stop) but one of these day he'll come around, he better

[ramp rida 55]

id do 80ft if you want

[ramp rida 55]

another pic i found of mike d

http://www.madracn.com/db4/00365/madracn.com/_uimages/SupermanbyMD.jpg

Can we keep it at 65 feet? Ive never hit a metal hit, so im not used to them yet. Also, i think youll be able to see more people hit it if its at 65 feet. You can always move it back if people want you to!

[NTPRacing#19]

ive got the equipment to build whatever.

[hondaracer305]

65 feet sounds perfect, thats what the gap size was in those pictures, well, 60 feet, but i think i can make the extra 5 feet :o

[d-unitracing157]

Hell yea im down for that i know alot riders from jersey that would love to and see that!!!!!

[Dan_Guetter]

As the days progess, and by the looks of things......we will have a successful year in Quad Freestyle competitions!

Note: All you east coasterns.....start practicing!:D :D

[ramp rida 55]

when the slush and mud goes away:scary:

New England sucks. those Texas guys got it made, except for them widows and rekluses.

[Dan_Guetter]

rekluses=fun

fun=death?

[Dan_Guetter]

Joking:o

Ditto, i cant hardly ride with this cold weather and all my ramps arent around my house, theyre about 20 miles away and i have to pay 15.00 to hit my own ramp i built. thats ok cause im gonna go pick up that ramp and i gotta friend who has some property that we can put freestyle ramps all over for free :D , when that happens ill be practicing all the time. im also gonna weld a stnd freestyle ramp up once i get some metal, but the prices are so high right now, im gonna have to wait for a little while. that ought to get things rolling better practice wise. :)

Wow, youd think the track would let you hit it for free since its your own ramp.

[raptor146]

What gear would we hit a 65ft jump in? 2nd or 3rd?

[hondaracer305]

Thats what i say, but at least they set me up with that sweet landing ramp, man that thing was huge, it had a huge sloping back side so if you came up short, you wouldnt bite the big one, i dont know if its worth 15 bucks a day though.

I hit my 60 foot ramp in 2nd gear pinned and it sends me on the downside perfect every time, my ramp has a different lip on it though so i dont know exactly how fast you would have to go on bigger ramps, but it should be either 2nd pinned or 3rd mid, somewhere in there :confused:

[urb'nyouthfilms]

be ready to start traveling to the midwest;)

Im ready to travel this summer once i get a truck but i think im grounded in New England for the rest of the winter/spring.

[AZblaster44]

If august still had wes' distance ramp, or i had another jump to learn on I'd be up for it.. I'm gonna die tryin things on tiny jumps lol :(

[bignorm]

heres one of me

now where is the location or is it still undecided?

-josh

[bignorm]

another one at gravity park

[bignorm]

and if u guys need another ramp lemme know also we will bring our trailer ramp down when we get it built

but heres the last pic for now

josh

Undecided as far as we know.

[fullyextended]

hey dan, I'm ready if the contests are close enough (i'm in North Carolina) let me know something asap this is what i have been waiting on

[NTPRacing#19]

id say big norm is the only guy on this thread that can hang with the big dogs

[urb'nyouthfilms]

Josh, we are working on the date. give me a call and we'll talk about it dumb *****

[raptor88]

im in if there is any close to arizona:cool:

[outacontrol31]

i have talked to my parent's about the possiblities of going big in freestyle, I know of one guy an hour away that has a ramp, i'm gonna be talkin to him about practicing on it, cause all my tricks have been done on dunes and stuff, so i know off a metal ramp would make em so much easier, and up to 80 feet is no big deal to me, we had a 105 foot triple we was trying, needless to say, it was a ruff landing

haha i just talked my mom it to letting me out a metal ramp in her horse pasture (flat adn long) so this shoulb be good practice

[fullyextended]

Dan,

Is the Akraix team gonna be at Virginia Beach this year? I am gonna be racing there and was hoping for a chance to bust out some tricks with the fella's. It's April 29 - May 1

[FMX]

looks like u got some skills norm.....hopefully we'll ride this summer. anyways, hell yea im down with a little freestyle action....ill be practicing the moves this summer- i got some good teachers:macho

Screw you your right next to so.cal!

[HndaRdr400]

the west side is the best side

[tooth]

OK DR. DRE

Westsiyeeeeeed! <flares westside gang hand motions>

[PolarisRider06]

i would at least go to watch unless it was later in the summer when i would probably have some tricks down. i've never hit or even seen a metal ramp in person and never jumped much more than about 45 foot off a driveway aproach to a flat landing. i know a guy who might be interested in entering a comp but i don't know if he has ever done any freestyle but he easily clears 100 foot tables. so if theres anything in minnesota area i'll try and come.

-levi

[hellbound250r]

bring that comp. to MN and i know you will have plenty of awesome riders...3 of our guys would come for sure:muscle: MN represent!!
