Re: STIMILON 2011 !!! May 28/29 MX338
I just read this blog from Brotocross.com. Seemed like crazy stuff went down off the track
Quote:
Well Stimilon is a wrap and if there was ever an event that BROtocross was supposed to sponsor, this was it. I still want to do a video blog , and I did get a lot of footage. But after discussing this with my legal counsel (mass.gov), I think it is in my and a few others' best interest to not show people the footage of the carnage. I still have a decent amount of film that I can play with, so we'll see what comes up. Once we arrived, the phrase "Read the rules" was being thrown around a lot, which was really putting me off. Here's the thing about motocross riders - they're crazy degenerates. At the end of the day, MX riders go wilder than any other people out there. Think about it, real MX riders get their rocks off doing whips over hundred footers, so it only follows that when they party, shit is getting torched and a few animal sacrifices might just take place. So with an event like Stimilon where you are encouraging the riders to party, you might as well be handing a box of C-4 and Velcro suits to a bunch of terrorists, driving them to the White House, and buying them tour tickets with 72 condoms. As long as you can contain that explosion, it's a victory. I mean, in the schedule they allocate a time when the cops will show up, that's what we're dealing with here.
So how did the event go? The racing was pretty average. The appeal of Stimilon is what happens off the track. There were fights in the mechanics' area, beer showers for days at the concert, and someone even took the water truck for a 2 am joy ride (don't leave the keys in the vehicle, BRO. Rookie mistake). I heard a few bikes were stolen, a lock on one of the buildings was smashed beyond repair, someone desecrated a Brazilian flag, and Eazy himself ran a moto through the pits at three in the morning on a Honda scooter like it was fucking Freestone. Overall, Stimilon was exactly what I was thinking it would be. Basically, if the promoters weren't ending the weekend saying "We're never doing this shit again," the event would have been a failure. As far as I know it, that's what they were saying. So success. If Stimilon does happen next year, we'll be there again, for sure. And as for the people running Southwick: if you guys want to hit up White Castle, your meal is on us.

If you launch and everyone around you has a ponytail its a safe bet that either Mike Martiri has multiplied or you are in the wrong race.....

Re: STIMILON 2011 !!! May 28/29 MX338
the whole event was pretty watered down this year... low attendance, no mains, etc. bums me out 'cause i wonder if next year will even happen.
still a crazy good time, just not the same as the last two.

I'm sure the turnout was low, after seeing what the entry fees were going to be for those of us who didn't pre-register.

Hah, The Ladies and Headlight classes were combined due to low entries in each. To ease the job for the scorers they did a 'two gate' start, Ladies first. My first moto no problem, gate drops, I wait for it to pump back up, and on the second drop I went, easy cheesy. The whole multiple wave start concept should be old news to me, right?
Well, my second moto of the day was in Never Ever and I was tired as hell having JUST finished my first Southwick moto ever. I stalled the bike at the gate and then crashed late in the race due to being too damn tired. When the second Ladies / Headlight race came around I had a 'strategy' all worked out for a good launch. I picked my gate and waited, running my launch process in my head. When the gate dropped the first time I saw it, looked up and saw bikes going and just went. Halfway to the first turn I realized what I had done, figured fug it if they want me off the track now they'll flag me and kept going.
Talking with the staff later what I was supposed to have done was pull off into the grass and wait for my wave to go by, then rejoin in the back. Complete polar opposite to what LRRS training told me to do. Oh well, I'm not afraid to be accused of chasing motocross ladies! :D

Re: STIMILON 2011 !!! May 28/29 MX338

Kurlon, that start was gold... we were like, 'he just won his class' :D

Are you sure Kid isn't secretly rigging your thumb with rubber bands so it's permanently bent backwards while you sleep as revenge for the water slide?
And what's this about a late night excursion to the track I'm hearing about?

I can't complain. ALMOST had it on video, but I was too distracted to turn the camera! :doh:
I liked the "Ass-hole" followed by "Love you!" when you first went in.
