GEARFEST results, ripoffs, rants, raves thread.

We were all day on Saturday, met alot of you down to earth guys, great weather Sat but it was kinda slow. Not as many people as we thought (probably the economy), but now I hear of no payouts? Whats up with that?

Re: GEARFEST results, ripoffs, rants, raves thread.

Question: with target stoppie contests are you supposed to stop on the target or just tap the target with your tire and keep rolling past. Some people were pissed after they got the real rules AFTER the competition runs telling them it was a timed target run. So people were just rolling foot high stoppies, tapping and racing over to the next target. Seems like BS to me.

Re: GEARFEST results, ripoffs, rants, raves thread.

I dont like all the hokey stoppie competitions. Keep it simple with a set approach distance and pickup point. Longest roller win....no questions

I agree, but the stoppie spot was embellished and was way smaller than explained to people. Embellishment = Lie

Re: GEARFEST results, ripoffs, rants, raves thread.

the whole event was pretty much disapointing. there was no "schedule" , they didnt have the payout and it was just a disorganized event. my thoughts and prayers go out to the little kid that was hit with the bike (he is ok but i think he broke his femur)

Re: GEARFEST results, ripoffs, rants, raves thread.

yea i heard about the poor kid getting his leg hurt by a bike running into the fence.. But come on they had NO berrier from the stunt course at all, just a stupid metal fence thing. I even heard the kids legs were sticking threw the fence when the bike hit him. Also i just heard that most of the riders never got paid? Whats up with that? I even heard they tried to arrest bubush for taking the bike that brand new r6 they were supposed to give away to the winner, whats the story on that? Was he able to keep it since he was the winner?

Bubash did get his bike ( and it was well worth it he rode like a machine all weekend besides the fall over one time) And yes almost got arrested while trying to load it up but instead got the police's number and offered to take her for a ride!

Yes pay out were not all there due to lack of orginaztion. I would like to say the Star Boyz had nothing to do with that. Now the stunt comp lacked some orginzation as well but was hella fun MAD props to the Star Boyz.. The payouts were suppose to be 40 % of what was listed but really only eneded up being not even 30% of what was due to winners. All in all I wish the event would of done better I had fun and would of liked to go next year Before all the **** at the end

Re: GEARFEST results, ripoffs, rants, raves thread.

I got 2nd place amateur individual freestyle. Unfortunately I came home with $0 and a bad sunburn...lol

Ponis, Me, Recon Mike, Henry, Motard Mike placed...Everybody killed this weekend and believe me, there was plenty of competition in amateur. Overall it was a fun event up until everyone dipped out without explanation, and I had a really good time riding and hanging out with everyone. What a drama filled day, today...See you all in 2 weeks...
