URBANnihilating Brisvegas, First week of Dec.

[zen_rider]

Attention all URBANator operators, Brisbane Sector:

Seeking elite testpilots for a Mid-week, night time (stealth), urbanation mission - during the first week of Dec. All those interested - please nominate your desired night. I was thinking Wednesday 3rd.

This mission may result in casualties.

[creepyjoe]

Me for sure, 3rd is good too.

[rad rob]

any for me and my bike should actually have forks by then. *joy*

[ELX]

Yep i can ride then. So count me in guys. 3rd's good. Sholebe sweet

[Jess_Dawg]

yep 3rd i'll be in. just let me know when and where

[zen_rider]

schweeet! will organise meeting time and place closer to the date!!!

ps. you really dont have to be elite, just trying to make it sound good - you know, talk it up - all hacks welcome.

[Richard A...]

Hacks welcome, sweet. I'll try to get there and meet you guy's.

As long as you don't get me arrested !!!

[sxereturn]

Anyone got a knee cap they aren't using?

[Jess_Dawg]

yeah if the cops rock up your on your own!

[creepyjoe]

Anyone got a knee cap they aren't using?
Physio says mine would dislocate really easily due to it being really lose, maybe you could steal it when I'm not looking.

[ELX]

Yeah i;m no urban masta so i will only be doing like drops and maby some stair gaps if we find them. I can do my pathetic attemps at wheelis and manuals as well :D Shold be a sick ride. Hey Sxereturn you can borrw mine so long as you clean it before you give it back to me and it's still in good condition ;) I should be able to still pop open me cut and "pop" the cap out with a screwdriver :D But you have to share s i can ride as well k?

[zen_rider]

yeah, its all good, my skills defintely need some development too - not enough riding

sxereturn - get the doc to put in a titanium knee cap! Terminator style - no problemo!

cops? i'm not keen on causing too much trouble for mountainbikers...and if they start hassling us i'll just bust some caps yo! (dont quote me on that)

[mrbernie]

Count me in as well :) :lol:

[Mattyman]

Me and my balfa will be there - as a spectator though, I live nice and close to the city but im no urban master. PM me when its all organised

[dlwd3w]

I'll bring cameras

[anti_pop]

Ahhhhh, shit, I moved to bris a little while back and now have nobody to ride with, This stuff finally comes up and i have no F*CK*NG BACK RIM! GRRRRRRRRRRRRR. Oh well, there is always next time

[anti_pop]

Sorry about the double post, But just noticed that huffy owner stuff, BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH AHAHAHAHAHAHA :twisted:

[ELX]

K so to clear up it's on for next Wednesday? The 3rd? Where do yuo wanna meat and what time? I will bring my hardatil, knee/shins/ helmet (Fullface?) gloves. Should be sick. I say from like 7:30 till whenever we want. Whoes in? Thanks guys

[Jess_Dawg]

i'm in. and anit_pop what kind a rear rim do you need? i'v got one lieing around you can use for the ride if you wanna come ?

[anti_pop]

That would be great, 26 inch, but like, I hate stuffing my own stuff, i would feel so bad if i accidently rode over a ledge and sort of hit a gap and stuffed the back rim. :P accidently of course. heh

[Jess_Dawg]

haha its' disc only standard qr wheel let me know if you need it

[zen_rider]

yeah 7:30 sounds good, meet at roma street parklands?

seeing that i havent been on an urban ride in brissy, someone recommend some places to hit up. please.

[ELX]

Yeah i'v never done any urban brissy rides. But Farkin's held one so Dom,Ty should probably know some sweet places. Why dont we just meet out the front of the city hall? Cause thats right near Roma Street Parklands but alot smaller and easyer to find people. Anyway yeah 7:30 next Wed sounds good.

[Jess_Dawg]

sweet as i'll be there on my big bike. TAKE ME TO SOME HUCKS! haha

[dillon]

Where you guys gonna go ? What you gonna do ?
Might come to get some mental-tutoring...
I work in the Valley and normally ride there on Wednesdays anyway.
Got a Kona Stuff.

[gary prescot]

YOU GUYS HAVE GOTTA DO THE ESCALATORS AT THE MINCOM BUILDING !!!! I WANT PHOTOS. FUCK IT I MAY EVEN CHUCK A SICKIE...

[Ryan]

LEARN HOW TO NOT POST IN ALLCAPS YOU RETARD!!!@#!#@!@#!!!

Seriously though I've seen BMX's ride the Mincom escalators...it aint that tough. Only real problem is pinch-flats when you g-out at the bottom, under 40psi in single ply tyres and it's almost guaranteed to be a ride ending experience for you ;)

[dlwd3w]

I'll be bringing my slr and my digital, note though, some photos may not turn out :p please don't hate me for this!

[anti_pop]

Well, i might be there yet, I dont know, I know i will only embarrass myself but hey, it happens, What can you do, I have never really been city riding before so if i run over some little kid dont get angry just dont look back and pedal hard. :wink: I dont know, i'll see what i can do, No train station in these parts but i will find a way, well i will try, the more the better, :roll:

[ELX]

Make sure that little kid isnt me :o

[Jess_Dawg]

alright sweet as, i'm fully looking forward to it, so any times? and locations yet?

[anti_pop]

I would really like to see a really big turnout for this, It would be great to get alot of riders, Well, i am still trying to organise shit, but i am hoping to make it. I dont really know my way around bris,

[Warped]

anti-pop. where do you live????
i'll try and make it i've been away for a lil while and wanna practice my urban skills... roma st parklands are easy and a good central spot to meet... theres also some stair gaps and shit... gimme a time????

[anti_pop]

I live in d'aguilar, well about 2 mins away from it, You should know that place from that race they held there, I didnt even know there was a DH trail there hehe,

[Brent]

So what happed to the waiting till 7:30 ??

Came through at about 7:15 and waited around till like 25 past and no one ???????

.

[creepyjoe]

Holy crap that was a fun ride, thanks fellas.

Hightlights were (in no particular order):
chased by security 4 times, twice with buggies.
Mincom (fun as always)
Central station stair gap (quite large)
4 guys + bikes on rear wheel in very little elevator (shoulda got a photo of that)
riding down waterfall at southbank resturant (pity about security being so prompt)
riding down steep concrete slope at roma (nice sorta fast buggy security)
oh and super crazy skinny ride across bridge over main road with scary scary death drop to carnage on one side + wheelie... (police poked their nose in on that one but they were interested in something else)

P.S. It was great to see a good turn out, 9 people.

[creepyjoe]

We hung around until about 7:12 and then we moved a little way but not far (a stair gap nearby), sorry you missed us/we missed you.

[mrbernie]

oh and super crazy skinny ride across bridge over main road with scary scary death drop to carnage on one side + wheelie...


LOL :lol:

that was me hehehee - must admit it provided me with my adrenaline rush of the night :shock:

[zen_rider]

LOL :lol:

that was me hehehee - must admit it provided me with my adrenaline rush of the night :shock:

Yeah, you're nuts...i dont have the balls, let alone the desire to attempt such a feat.

I'm happy the way it turned out - not even the wet terrain stopped the insane action - for all those who missed out, get to the next one!!!

I'm still trying to comprehend the stuff that went down, farkin crazy

Edit: and my front wheel didnt fall off - wahoo

[Jess_Dawg]

it was a kick ass night. but every one did a runner and left me to the security hahaha

[ELX]

Hey i didn't do i runna :) Iwas still at the top of the stairs. :D Stupit single speed i knew 1st on the front and 3rd on the back wasnt a good gear for spriting :D Still sweet night. My parents got a bit pissed but cause they recon i said i would be home at 8:30 when i specificly said to them i will probably call you bout 9:30 for you to come and pick me up.

[Warped]

yeah farkin sweet night... got to work at 7am today.. but working means money and money equals Norco Aromik... goodbye warp... i'll be hangin for the next urban see ya then...

[creepyjoe]

it was a kick ass night. but every one did a runner and left me to the security hahaha

dude you just don't know when to start running! That security guard was practicaly humping your leg before you started to make a move!

[Jess_Dawg]

hahah.. oh well it was all good. made it way more fun

[dillon]

Cool, where's the pics...

[Jess_Dawg]

no pics man... i would have taken some but to much running

[Emerin]

ok...i'm offically jelous. I'm SO comming on the next one... i'm still a hack so i'll be camera girl!

[Jess_Dawg]

cool as.. just be ready to run

[rad rob]

so when is the next one?

[lupine128]

i'm old and fat, so i can also be camera bitch. i can also distract security by yelling about those damn kids while you all run away.

[Jess_Dawg]

hahaha sounds like a deal!

[creepyjoe]

I'm so dressing up like an old lady and putting a basket on my handlebars next time.

[MadMatt]

LOL!!!!!!!!!

basket on the front

yeah,,,,tops!!!!!!

me too.

MadMatt.

[dillon]

Lets keep it a regular event.
Will be good to meet everyone.

[Jess_Dawg]

yeah for sure. count me in for the next one

[MadMatt]

Maybe we could all get "Santa Clause" costumes & any security would think it`s a council run thing & leave us all alone...I can tape my video camera to my helmet & tell em all it will be on telly.

:-)

Ho Ho Ho

:-)

I`m commin to the next one...don`t leave me out,,,i`m fun to laugh at when i fall over & crash splatter.

:-)

MadMatt.
