Event recommendations needed for end of year party

We are looking forward to the end of year party on November 3rd, and are working on a major change in the event.  One of the things we are going to have is time for events & games.  I'm asking for help and suggestions on different bikes games (or non-bike games) that people would like to play at the party.  What we will have to work with is a grassy field, so anything that is recommended would need to work there.

Some ideas we've had for bike games are bike polo, and foot down (ride in a small area and try to be the last person to put your foot down).  Please let us know what you want to have at the party and what you can help with!

thanks for the helpful suggestions - see you at the next meeting!

-Ivan
President, Tarheel Trailblazers

A few ideas:
  • Trackstand contest
  • Bunny hop high jump
  • Huffy toss
  • Miniature bike or tricycle races

I used to ride; now I just drink and cry about not riding.

If we can put the pedal down on this new trail I am designing at Beatty, I have had an idea for a massive festival type event based around this trail. Something harvest-esque. Races, prizes, all the bike shops with tents in the parking lot. Food, beer, bikes.

I always like the long jump from a kicker.

Yes, bring it but we're looking for ideas for the EOY party at "ANNE SPRINGS CLOSE GREENWAY".  Smiley

See what I did there?  Wink

I love how they call it Anne Springs "Close" greenway. It's not close, at all. It's super far away and I hate that. It should be Anne Springs a-the-rest-of-the-way Greenway.


Would a llama use a railgrab rack orrrr....?

I was talking to Kelly about the plans for the party the other night at the Diva ride.  Sounds like this one is going to be one not-to-be-missed!

-of-the-way Greenway.

That's exactly how I feel every time I have to drive there for the Summer Series races!  Undecided

I agree.  Lets do it at Eastland Mall. Show them what we could do with it.

Right....so we have what I think are some good ideas worth further discussion
    Trackstand contest
    Bunny hop high jump
    Huffy toss
    Miniature bike or tricycle races
    Log pull (which just looks vicious)
    Long jump from a kicker
    Footdown ( (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links))

We have Patrick tossing out randomness about stuff not related to this thread....

We have Bart with a TERRIBLE idea...I mean, really Bart?  Did you hit your head?

One thing to consider is that this should be pretty easy to set up and deal with, and it should not necessitate a paramedic being onsite (options 2, 5, and maybe 6).   

Anyone know anything about these game and willing to help set this up at the party?  In case you aren't sure, this is going to be a damn good party.   

And we're going to have to stick with Springs this year.

I got the Huffy toss lined up!  I'll even bring the bike.  It's not a Huffy but an equally &^&^ty bike!  

Here's Cody testing it for the toss!

Seems to work pretty well.  Wink

If you knew how many bikes a year I send to T4Ks. Smiley It was worse than a Next, if you can imagine that. Tongue
