Not sure what KC is doing that tailwind isn't. Competative racing? Needs more overbearing race promotors? More beat-you-up courses (they sure are trying on this one). Eliminating winners from classes to ensure nobody feels beaten?
Just seems like KC is has better attendance and support. No Hate
If I've got spunk left sunday I'll swing by and check out KC and let you guys know. Sven will probably make me think twice though.
Kisscross is racing for people that want to experience riding their bikes. Tailwind is racing for people that want to race. A fields at Kisscross are a joke, B fields are like a Tailwind C field.
2nd the last comment. KC is not really racing. an excuse to get with your friends to drink beer. But why pay Rick for that experience? Just show up and do it for free. however, Rick is the promoter of all promoters - hats off to what he does. If he promoted a potato sack race, it would sell out!
I thought Joe Cranston died?
The dirt scene is always about experiences. It just takes a promoter that doesn't want to put pressure on "racers" to race. Look at Barry-Roubaix, Iceman, or all these other big events that people only care about finishing and maybe getting their personal best. Rick doesn't care about elite racers or at least appears not to.
and he shouldn't care about elites, most are a joke, he wants to make money.
If anyone wants to debate elite pay outs and deals find me in a parking lot. I'll give you my two cents. Hopefully you've got enough respect and sense not to laugh at me while I talk. Especially if your rep is shady.
Im not gonna debate the elite payouts
we should ill agree its pretty fucked. but common sense tells a promoter the elites don't pay his fat mortgage payment.
the other number or so also rans do.
thus the Rick Plite story. nice guy cool races.
that is if your not "IN" it for the cash
It doesn't have to be cash, sometimes simply racing to see how fast you can get and who you can beat is a good thing. The lazy kisscross attitude might be good for getting people on bikes but it certainly won't help them get as fast as they could be. Then again a lot of people only want to tell you they want to be fast, doing all that work is no fun.
not everyone is into lying to themselves on how fast they are and are going to be. some simply like the atmosphere and the ability to open there lungs and legs on the weekends.pure and simple.
Kinda like how MTB used to be before they decided to count watts. KISScross has its place.
its OK dont be a hater
The aliens' village is ringed with glass plates etched with their history. I don't know how long my airtank will hold out before I need to revaporize, but I could spend all day decoding their magnificent spiraling text. I can start anywhere, end anywhere. It all leads back to communion. "The fourthmost triplicate for love where there is the third-reaching quadrangle embraced by a pair of god-suns." The Earth still feels close and warm, but somehow...it seems to be moving away from me... In my mind... and from my heart...
Crybaby Classic turn out was low. It was low because people are scared of the fucking course. They should be. It's seriously hard but that's also why they should do it. It's NOT Stony Creek. It's NOT Maybury. A hell of a challenge on a mtb is what is! They saw the future when they named that race. The Crybaby's got sorted out, won't come back or even try it in the first place and now a there's a low turn out. Even so they gave full payouts.
well there you have it.
You miserable people need to get out of SE Michigan more often. Cesspool.
you aint lying
Its our "everybody gets a medal" culture" that is making races shity for some and great for others. Why not just make every event a fondo. That way no one's feelings will get hurt and every event will be a sellout becuase we can all cross the finish line holding hands!
Eliminate prize money
nuff said.
What ever happened to Joan Cuttitta?
Kisscross does well because they have fucking bathrooms at the race site fucking morans.
There's always some cry fucking baby blubbering that someone is riding to fast, riding to long, this race promoter does this, this promoter does that who fucking gives a shit i get so fucking sick of hearing you fuckers whine like little bitches. The gloves come off mother fuckers the pain knob is now going to be turned full fucking throatal the pain is coming mother fuckers you will feel it......
i don't think i heard one person whine, are you sure your in the right spot?
if not lemme help

anon 6:30 must be JTP
Went to kisscross - good event. Much improved from my last experience. Timing chips, lap numbers, bathroom facilities, keg of beer, free food. Hell I even (alright i did literally ask) got a six pack for winning. I'd attend it in the future and recommend it to my west side friends. I'd just not pick it over tailwind or OVCX.
