Was helping the build the landing ramps today and the Riders were saying the bigger the landing ramp the bigger they will jump, so we will add to the ramps again tommorrow.

Was out last night, that landing ramp is HUGE, whole thing is maybe 30' from the crowd it's going to be COOL. And for all you country music fans Deric Ruttan is the entertainment at the venue on Friday night courtesy of the Eagle River Casino. Sunday is a Rock band out of Edmonton called Rule of Nines

Here are some admittedly poor pics of the ramps as they sat this evening.

Boys from stonyplain Trail seeker will be there

Trust me folks, the pics don't do it justice. The landing ramps and the whole site in general are looking nothing short of awesome. Tons of volunteer help all day long today. More news today - Jimmy Blaze is on his way to Whitecourt, coming from Wisconsin.

Turns out that BRP decided to step up. The Morgan sled has a reserve price of $8500 but if someone pays $10500 or more then BRP will exchange the morgan sled for a brand new Full factory mod sled worth about $26,000.00 for that price.

 

[snowseeker]

That is sweet. Good for them as it is for a great cause and also for a great guy who was part of there team for years.

IF you are riding in the rally this weekend bring scratchers! the trails are like pavement and your sliders will melt.

 

[gforce]

are scratchers machine specific or are they one kind fits all?
