Papasteeze Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 Whose going from the RT crew? It might be doable for steeezemachine and I.. Who is sponsoring the event, got any links? Quote
parkbuilder Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 any idea about how many people could turn out? if its like the last event i might hafta say no and head to bellayre for the openeing of their first park (if it gets cold enough) Quote
joe g Posted November 3, 2005 Author Report Posted November 3, 2005 papa...as far as the rt crew, i'm not sure yet who all is going...and snowtime is holding the event, so it will be on the roundtop mobile rail jam set up...there are also several shops from the dc area that are sponsering the event, i just don't have the names... it has the potential to draw a larger turnout, but from what i have heard, there hasn't really been alot of advertisment for the event.. so its kind of up in the air about that... but i wish i knew as well cuz if its alot of people, i'd like to take about 2 bottles of asprin with me so i don't get the headache i had from the one at roundtop..man judging all those people was hard as hell Quote
Papasteeze Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 Its a saturday date - it looks like it would work for us for sure!! I can help if you direct.. Nipples has had a lot of fun at these events so far and wants to do it. SO -- let the RT gang know we are in! Send me details or phone # via pm if you need help. Quote
Nipples Posted November 7, 2005 Report Posted November 7, 2005 oooo sh$% this could be sick. lets try to keep it quit so there is less people there. Quote
Papasteeze Posted November 7, 2005 Report Posted November 7, 2005 Steeze, I have not been able to find anything about the rail jam. It appears to be more of an exhibition than a competition.. Quote
VTmark Posted November 7, 2005 Report Posted November 7, 2005 i wonna go. but i have work and i suck really bad. Quote
Gurp Posted November 7, 2005 Report Posted November 7, 2005 id hit it up, but my rents wont let me drive that far. Quote
BC Iron Works Posted November 7, 2005 Report Posted November 7, 2005 So its not invite only? sweet im prolly down Quote
joe g Posted November 8, 2005 Author Report Posted November 8, 2005 the event is an open competition....it is NOT invite only, it is open to anyone... we (roundtop) were not responsible for all of the advertising, but i took it upon myself to get the word out as much as i could.. the promoters of the event were more responsible to advertise, but i'm guessing from what i've heard on here that there isn't much advertising going on at all..so spread the word, or keep it hush, either way its cool w/ me.. Quote
tweaks_rock_me Posted November 9, 2005 Report Posted November 9, 2005 hush...please, for god's sake. Quote

SteveStepp Posted November 10, 2005 Report Posted November 10, 2005 yeeeea should be sick, im going hopefully theres not many people so it turns into one big jam session Quote
Papasteeze Posted November 10, 2005 Report Posted November 10, 2005 yeeeea should be sick, im going hopefully theres not many people so it turns into one big jam session The other ski expos in this area (philly and scranton) were scant and not well publicized.. It sounds like you will have it all to your self Quote
Papasteeze Posted November 11, 2005 Report Posted November 11, 2005 The other ski expos in this area (philly and scranton) were scant and not well publicized.. It sounds like you will have it all to your self Steezemachine is in - head south if you can, look for the PASR banner!! Quote
Papasteeze Posted November 12, 2005 Report Posted November 12, 2005 ONE O'CLOCK today at the Dulles international Expo center.. See the Roundtop web page for more information. Quote
LineSki Posted November 13, 2005 Report Posted November 13, 2005 so how did it go. any pics or video? Quote
Papasteeze Posted November 13, 2005 Report Posted November 13, 2005 (edited) I'll get some video up - soon - I also owe clips of grass skiing at BC . But we are headed out the door now, wont be back till late.. It seems I met every PA mountain rep except CB & Blue - funny now that I think about who was missing. I guess they think they are too good to get the word out to the DC crowd. I stuck PASR stickers on their shirts, pocketbooks, tables - etc etc BTW - RT, Liberty and Whitetail group are definitly getting the word out Edited November 13, 2005 by Papasteeze Quote
