Munsville Race fee
On 7/16/2006 Kludyman wrote in from United States  (68.8.nnn.nnn)

So I can pay just 35 bucks to ride the hill. I like that and dont need the metal at the end because I can race all as I feel the need to . Thats very cool that you guys would do that and you guys and girl that do let me know and I will make a run or two with you. No worries, I made the money to pay the full price but it is very cool that you can ride a big hill like that so cheap!This race is the only race that makes bio trading cards for there riders and gives so much just for two days of fun! MAN I LOVE THIS RACE!

thanks for the info, I would hate to have that happen to anyone.....being asked to leave an awesome road because of them trying to cheat the organizers out of $35....

$35 VS Open road all day.......i'll take the road

Cheaters
On 7/16/2006 DrNo wrote in from United States  (138.88.nnn.nnn)

We are the first organization to allow practice only at events so that riders of all levels can utilize a closed road to gain more experience in the sport they wish to advance their skills in. The registration form for MCGF is accurate that there is a charge for the ability to practice each day, anyone who is found using the course without proper registration will be asked to leave immediately. I'm sure there are riders in the past who have paid for one day and taken two they were just not caught.

MCGF V
On 7/7/2006 drno wrote in from United States  (141.156.nnn.nnn)

You can sign up for practice by going to www.gravitysportsinternational.com and follow the links for MCGF V. Just a reminder that pre-registration is cheaper than onsite and you can pay in several different ways (ie check, money order, credit card etc- onsite will be cash only).

Also something new:
Want to avoid the long registration lines??? Complete registration and pre-pay!!!

This year GSI will be giving something new a try at Madison County Gravity Festival-Express Registration Line. Those who have completed registration online and either pay online or in advance (no later than July 23, 2006) will be able to check in by using the express registration line. You must have the following complete by the above date in order to use this line:

1 Correct registration online (no changes at registration).
2 Payment in full.

At the course BEFORE entering the line you must:

1 Complete and sign a medical form.
2 Complete and sign an event waiver form.

At registration you will be asked for current id, proof of current medical insurance and hand in your medical and waiver forms. These will be matched with the registration form we have on file for you and you can then head to tech inspection.

so where do we sign up for the practice runs?

please e-mail me at beaver0202@hotmail.com

RE:Helmets....not sure if its snell, but i do know that it is a very trust worthy helmet. Many rely on it, and it has great visibility. Just take a look in any CW magazine and you will see many using this helmet. I'm not looking for a rating, just to know if I can use it at Munnsville because this is my only helmet. And I bet it is safer than almost all of those aero helmets that people use

Don't forget to send in your Bio card information. We are only weeks away from Gravity Fest. We are working on layout right now. We will post a deadline for submission as soon as we form one, but try to get them in now.

Counting down the days

On 7/2/2006 sean c wrote in from United States  (70.232.nnn.nnn)

adam, since tom ran it at maryhill and timeship requires snell rated helmets, does that mean that tom's helmet(icaro skyrunner) is snell rated?

If it helps at all, Tom Estrand used the same helmet at Maryhill this past week, and won...i believe its around 50mph. Pretty much the whole Landyachtz team is on them, as well as countless others. People have been known the crash on them and they hold up very well.

Sorry for the delay but we are putting the matter before the GSI board as to how the rules should read, we will have (and post) an answer soon.

Helmets

Hey,

I currently have an Icaro skyrunner helmet. I was wondering if that meets GSI rules. Many people use them around the world for downhill skateboard racing but I am not sure on the rating.

-Thanks, Adam

Yes Kludy
On 4/21/2006 sean c wrote in from United States  (165.29.nnn.nnn)

Yes Kludy, Syracuse is the closest airport to the town of Munnsville. The event is July 29-30. So flying in on the 28th, and out on the 31 sounds right.

Can't wait to see you there.

Hey Everyone,
Fall Mountain Productions just signed a contract with Extreme Sports Entertainment to use a few Street Luge segments of our film "Wanted: Concrete Cowboys"....their programming goes to China, Europe and other foreign markets. We're psyched...more exposure for the sport. Thanks Tim Cayer for the referral.
