ParticipantYes Mr. Evil I have a question
Well I was going to ask which gets more points: crashing or not crashing – but you seemed to have answered that… incorrectly I might add. But your game.
What about adding or making up tricks. I’m thinking stream crossing with more than a foot of water. I wanna see Josh try it. I am sure there are some other good ones. Ought to have something that involves mud…. seems to me. And this is FS….. what about cycling down the frozen canal…..
Another good one might be some type of jump ramp….. and if <32s then done successfully without blowing out!
Wheelies Peter Sagan style?
And bunny hops….. how about points for highest thing hopped over? I mean Crandle can bunny hop a twig! How many points if you bunny hop an actual snake??

Even if you’re not a contender for this pointless prize, the spreadsheet with drevil’s “Real life uses” are worth checking out. I now know what I need to learn so I can survive dinosaurs coming back
I’m with her ^^. And it’s not just the spreadsheet – this whole prize is the bomb! And I’m one of the furthest from being a contender.

ParticipantVicegrip’s backwards bike, from last years Calvinball, parked out front of Bikenetic. How many points for a video ricing that thing. ??

Ride up curb:
[video=youtube_share;Q8xgmQA35qo]https://youtu.be/Q8xgmQA35qo[/video]Video’s not that great, let me know if I need a better angle. 2 points (will come back with smaller tires for the bonus, but not comfortable doing this fixed yet)
Better angle, please

Ha! Thanks
Everyone’s a contender! We can session (practice or attempt) silly trix on group rides. Ask me how, but I’ll be honest, I’m a terrible teacher because some of this stuff is so ingrained I forget details when trying to explain.

Let me check it out first, but if it’s open for anyone to try, I’ll probably do it. It’s gotta be silly though, so possibly three figure-8s within a certain amount of time, without dabbing or falling.

Let me think about giving folks points for trying and crashing. That said, I don’t want folks to get hurt so I don’t want to encourage crashing
Yes, I will be adding tricks to the spreadsheet. When I do, I’ll post a vid of me attempting it as well.
As for the other questions:
- Deep stream crossing: Maybe.
- Mud: probably not. I’d prefer people not to ride the muddy trails.
- Cycling down the frozen canal: maybe. Huge chance of crashing without the proper equipment, and don’t want to be responsible for that
- Jump ramp: probably not. Methinks high potential for hurt.
- Peter Sagan wheelie? Please explain.
- Highest thing hopped over? This is going to be hard to judge by video but it’s possible. And do you mean not touching it at all, or is it OK to draaaaag that chainring over?
I like your ideas Bob, et. al., but when I came up with this competition, I wanted it to be focused more on road/pavement things because this is mostly a road-centric community. It’s also why I am giving double points to most tricks with drop bars and skinny tires. Keep up the suggestions though, and I’ll figure out whether to include them in the official list.

You already are with this contest. Just like you did with Danger Panda.

You automatically win the entirety of FS, all the pointless prizes, all the cash, for all eternity.
