Ive got a few plans up mysleeve for no snow at the end…..may involve a pre dumped mountain bike LOL

I have no problem with river or dirt boarding through thick shrubs to tackle you and steal said bike smirk LOL

TJ I think we may need to rename this smiley in the upgrade teacherboy

Don’t think there are any creeks worth running through :(..

Meanwhile, we will need a few helmet cams and people with cameras throughout the course to take footage of this event (I’m looking at you skiiers / beginners who don’t want to partake) and definitely need some good quality footage of the beers at the end. Maybe some party poppers to make it look like we setup something to go off when someone won haha.

Make a proper edit of just the downhill like Volcom did, it would be awesome!

I doubt that there will be that much difference that getting onto a pre dumped mountain bike will help (especially in boots). The first shred had pretty abysmal snow and we could still get to the gunbarrel (which is a 10m walk to the bar)

So your looking at me then….

I am happy to film along side.

Dylan you can also use my clip that you have lost….

We could mount a camera at the bar and just hit record… it can film the whole time.

isn’t the run at the start just an invitation for massive shenanigans before the riding even starts? or is that the whole point tongue rolleye

I think that’s the point Mud!

BUT - it is also a good way to separate out the pack a bit. Draw less attention!

it makes it more interesting rather than just jumping up and bombing youve gotta strap in, skate, then strap fully in as quick as you can.

i probably shouldnt let my tactics out but i dont plan on stopping to strap my back foot in, just do it whilst riding LOL

I did top2bottom as an obstacle course last week. It would be an interesting vid of people trying to cross dirt sections.

Don’t forget the first day of the shred is the Efterski skim pond fancy dress comp.
