DHarrisburg Posted August 14, 2005 Report Posted August 14, 2005 Roundtop has a rail jam scheduled for October 23rd. I read papasteeze's entry about it in the calendar, and I'm going to be in the area around that time, so any info you have on this event would be greatly appreciated. Also, apparently the event is invite-only, does anyone know if this is going to be a Roundtop local only event, or are they planning on inviting most of the east coast rail shreds? Any idea on what it takes to be invited? I've shot an email off to try and get the email/phone number of the person running the event already. Quote
Papasteeze Posted August 14, 2005 Report Posted August 14, 2005 My suggestion is to try to contact them at Newschoolers, they are active over there, get the invite, otherwise just show up and buddy up with them then. BTW - it seeems that most of the mountains are having a fall open season rail jam. With some obvious exceptions . cough CB cough Quote

If I don't get an invite I'll probably just try to poach practice and get an invite on the spot. Also, what other fall rail jams are going on? Quote
Papasteeze Posted August 14, 2005 Report Posted August 14, 2005 Check the calendar in October, there are 1 or 2 talented riders at RT most are skiers that will be at the jam. best thing is to get the invite to the Roundtop Cult at NS for the inside scoop. just message Magnum - tell him nipples sent ya!

joe g Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 here is pretty much how the set-up is going to be for it... we have a box truck that we use for our paintball operation that is about 9ft tall.. riders will start at the top of the truck and drop onto a 20ft ramp that will be attached to the van.. off the 20ft ramp riders will transistion onto an 8ft takeoff ramp onto a 20ftx1ft box that we used last season. all the ramps will be covered with a surface that we are getting, the covered with snow/ice shavings from ice rinks. we have a good number of both boarders and skiiers that will be riding.. $10 entry fee, helmets are REQUIRED as well. the event location... it will be held at the 7th and Forester St. parking garage in Downtown Harrisburg. ALSO this event is taking place in/during a car show put on by WRTeam, called WREvolution 05.. 2502 stunt bikes and Bastard on Wheels will also be in the same area that we are providing entertainment along with a long list of bands and dj's..

Papasteeze Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 (edited) Thanks JOE!!!! The Larick Clan will be there. Steezemachine, aka Nipples will be rip roaring ready to go - he is pumped!! Any chance of adding a tail to the end of the box for some stylish dismounts? Sounds like the ramp will carry plenty of speed. Edited August 17, 2005 by Papasteeze Quote

joe g Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 ok, since we have been having such a large number of people reequesting to ride, or thinking about coming to this jam, the promoters have asked me to make it an invite only event... i have a list of riders who are already submitted to the promoters and that is all who are going to be able to ride in this jam... sorry if this causes any mix up, or anger, or whatever, but i have to do what the car show promoters ask of me.. so as of last week, this is an INVITE ONLY event Quote

DHarrisburg Posted September 2, 2005 Author Report Posted September 2, 2005 Hmm. Board didn't show up today. Is there a definate time for tomorrow? I need to know if I should wait around for the mail or if I should just bring my ridiculous joke setup. Quote
Papasteeze Posted September 2, 2005 Report Posted September 2, 2005 (edited) don't worry about your set-up.. this is a great group of central pa mountain guys. come out meet them and rep PASR! We will be there by 3pm - I believe the earlier you get there the earlier you can kill yourself with practice runs.. etc etc - the cut- off is 3:30 or so. THis thing runs for like 7 hours!! Steeze has his '06 gear put away for the season start.. you know how to ride, thats all that matters.. BTW - google Nate Sheehan, the last name on the list.. http://www.gravitygames.com/article/view/4...articleView.tpl Edited September 2, 2005 by Papasteeze Quote
DHarrisburg Posted September 3, 2005 Author Report Posted September 3, 2005 for a laugh, here's what I'll be riding tomorrow; That's right. A 148 K2 Fatbob. Who knows what year, probably pre-2000. Quote
