Clear Channel is already organizing a few promotional autograph sessions for the riders on Friday night, along with Miller Light. Maybe at "Outbacker's Pub" in Houston? Still working on it. There is a patio for autographs, and a decent parking lot for the riders to put on exhibitions all night.

we want to try and find a place to ride for those NOT competing...make the event a little more enjoyable for those who are making the trip....

Congrats to all that were invited! You have all put in your work and are getting recognition! Best of luck to all involved!!

DSOG Thomas

In case anyone cares or doubts...if this event goes well then we will be invited to a few similar events like this throughout the US next year

Teach, as I have said, Im working on all of this and check your phone VM
I left you a message this morning
DSOG thomas call me again I need to know how many big wigs will need VIP and such for the afterparty (KEN Abbot and such)

Ryan Cramer

i will refrain from commenting on your inability to see the bigger picture here

Demo or Comp? Who cares. The riders will compete, therefore it is a competition.

The X Games and Gravity Games are both by invitation only. And to get an invitation, you have to do well at other qualifier events. In Sportbike Stunt Riding (SSR for short) there is no qualifier events and no functional sanctioning body. So how do you chose? I think the list was formed because riders were fully evaluated, and I think the event will be a good one because I know there was some hard work put into it already.

As far as the audience and pushing SSR to a new level, if the powers that be are in attendance and they like what they see..... :YEAH

No bro, I see the big picture here...but by calling it a competition and then saying that there are only a few who will be allowed to compete is just a little strange in my thinking. XSBA has been tried before and it seemed to fail. Then when it failed I heard a lot of stunters talk bad about it(would you like the all-star list of names?) and how the new revolution was to be that little deal that Tim Barnes and Kyle Woods tried hyping up at the Biker Bash in Dallas last year. They got a little publicity in the rags (Super Street Bike?) and that was that.....
Now the XSBA is trying another stab at it with slightly different affiliations and I hope to god it works. But like the first time around, the XSBA will not let everyone play, and if those that are invited to play the game decide it is too much work and give up on it I think we will see the same results. If those guys all stick to it and git'r'dun, then yes, many a door will open for everyone!

nwstuntbike

good luck everyone,hope it works,just sucks that none of the rest of us could go and try hell it's on the way to stunt wars ,but maybe next time

just remember that your competing for a lot more than money

DSOG Thomas

the reason it is not an open competition is because I will not allow a hundred rookies to embarass me trying to qualify for a top 10 spot, we dont have the facilities, the time or the patience to deal with that

anyone see the schedule? its two 30 minute sessions

thats definately not time for rookies to play...

on top of all that it is in a small area inside the arena and it is polished concrete....if anyone wants to be pissed cuz they dont have a chance to "qualify" then be pissed at me....but you actually should be thanking me for not letting you waste your money cuz you probably wouldnt qualify anyways

do I need to remind anyone of the 20 riders who said they could do 800 ft plus coasters at stuntlife last year?? and only 5 broke the 800 foot mark

and the so called "failure" of the xsba in whatever sense you may put it just isnt true, when you have misguided VP's who tell the sales department to sell sponsorships for some bullshit *** flattrack events and tell them not to worry about selling sponsorships for FormulaUSA and XSBA the of course there isnt going to be money in the budget for events.....

The Dew Action Sports Tour has put up more purse money for this event than we ever had for any XSBA event,

either come and have fun,
support it on stuntlife,
or dont say anything at all


I am not sitting here saying that this event is the second coming and will gaurantee that we get in the X games....all i am saying is that I think its going to be a really fun event and I am proud to be a part of it....even though I know that gravity games representatives will be there and they will make the decision wether to include us in more events or not after that event.......I have learned to not expect anything....so with that being said I am going there to have fun with a great group of riders that I consider friends and rip **** up on the microphone so hard that the crowd is going to boo the FMX announcer when he gets back on the mic......whatever happens happens...we are gonna do our best regardless

so quit with the ****** pussyaching

Good luck on the event to all involved. Wish I could make it, but it is not in the budget right now.

Nicely said thomas, nicely said. Congratulations to all of the riders choosen to ride in this. i am going to support this as much as possible. and possibly fly down to it to be a spectator. we'll see. but once again congratulations to everyone involved. and to all the haters keep hatin and bitchin about it on the sidelines. and if it fails because not enough people support it, blame yourselves, because without support this will go nowhere.

Robbie

I may have missed where who is judging the comp and desides who the top are to advance...is it the crowd or hand picked peolpe...if so who are they?

TimsKFX400

please let them be handpicked. **** ill even volunteer lol damn. theres some stupid fkin people down here in houston. and a bunch of inbred redneck bastids who are even more stupid.

yungryder

****, i think if u get some H-Town underground artists to perform to draw a crowd who knows little about the sport, would have an excellent outcome..But I know little about these thangs, so don't mind me....But I do know Houston has a lot of up comming rappers that people from other states have no clue exist, so it would be good exposure for all...

TEACH C6

robbie,

still working on the info you need...bear with me.

fmx judges will be judging the sportbike freestyle...we already have a plan in place to educate them and whatnot-they will be observing our practices and we have a specific individual for them to use as a resource...no worries there.

as for the xsba thing: i'll leave that alone for now, i haven't the patience to explain it to everyone. anyone who bitched about the xsba never showed up to support it (save for the daytona event), and so their thoughts and opinions are worthless to me, and so are they. the PEOPLE behind the xsba are true to their intentions and only want the best for US....they have sacrificed time, money, and family lives to try and make this work for US. i would hope that we would support them in turn.

as far as thomas' comments, they are true. in the future, if this turns out positively for US, there WILL be a qualification procedure so that everyone has a chance to qualify-whether through same weekend quali's or through other event quali's or even by qualifiying through your results and reputation----in other words, there are people watching us and they know who is what and where. wanna have a chance to ride in something like this the next time it is around? show your support for the things we are trying to do and make a name for yourself by traveling and competing...just like anyone else.

robbie, your answers are soon. i got out on my fiddy track yesterday and the knee is fine: watch out motard races, i wanna bang bars!

Robbie

you're so on top of this, i hope everyone appreciates it, as silly as it sounds i got faith in you to make things happen in the future
