zoobomb race? Empty zoobomb race?

Post  DanThatch Tue Feb 09, 2010 1:37 am

Oh right so i'm not sure if i'm going to the race or not. i'm not sure because this would be my first race, and i've also never rode zoobomb before. plus it'll be dark and not knowing zoobomb that might be a little difficult. So do you guys think i'd be fine racing there?

Thanks

If you don't have some lights &/or reflective materials I'm not sure how wise it would be. Plus it does help to be familiar with the course. Can you run it during the day a few times and borrow lights?

if i do go i was just planning on taping a flashlight to my helmet, lol. I was going to run it last weekend but then i couldn't because i was busy, but i guess i'd only go if it was dry and if it was dry sunday the day of the race i could probably just go really early and run the course a bunch.

That was an awesome race! Even though the new route had a little more pushing I still think it was a lot of fun. Not sure how many people showed up to skate down the soggy road but it was around 30-40. Not a bad turnout.
So in order to determine who got what points for the Zoobomb race I will need help determining what everybody got. I only know a the top 4 so please help me fill out the rest. I think this year we will do points for the top 10 and 1 point if you participated.

1. Billy - 10 points
2. David - 9 points
3. Robin - 8 points
4. Chip - 7 points
5. ? - 6 points
6. ? - 5 points
7. ? - 4 points
8. ? - 3 points
9. ? - 2 points
10. ? - 1 point
And 1 point for anybody else who raced.

I liked the OG skate race route, that brought it back to the fun goofyness instead of the serious gnar. And no better time to do that then a rainy ass night in February.

I think Nic was somewhere 5th or so, and I was somewhere after that, and Eric was right after me?

MAD MAX FOR THE WIN! Or I guess for at least passing a few people and not ending up as far back as I started. AND hitting a parked car. Fun shit!

Sounds like you were in 9th then John and Aidian 8th. Fun race, just like the first 2005 race except wet and at night which made it even scarier. Thanks to the Zoo Bombers for blocking that crucial turn for us! And the sweet awards party!

OK so if Eric was 7th (4 points)then Aidian was 8th (3 points) and I was 9th (2 points). I know it was in that order for sure, and if Eric knows he was 7th than those are the correct potitions. thoes would fill 8th place and 9th place and i dont recall who was in tenth. sorry for my post earlyer i misheared the potitions in the race. but Eric knows for sure that was the placement.
