ridetolivelivetoride (Jul 8, 2009 at 13:04)

It's called renting an apartment...

enduro06 (Jul 9, 2009 at 8:41)

You mean pretenious red neck edmontonians vs. laid back, lovin life, don't got time for hurtin Albertan bullshit, Vancouver dwellers, bud...

etownrider (Jul 9, 2009 at 22:23)

Oops. I guess I forgot to throw in the cost. Entering the DJ comp is $10 at the hill.

awais (Aug 6, 2009 at 21:40)

anyone know where i can see the race results?

jaycurtis (Jul 3, 2009 at 10:56)

is there any pre registration needed for the dj comp?

deannec (Jul 6, 2009 at 6:21)

Nope the DJ comp is just a show up, ride and pull out your best move.

epoit (Jun 30, 2009 at 12:05)

yeeaahhh park cycle. hopefully the course is better than last year.

t3rry Mod (Jun 30, 2009 at 19:06)

So stoked to race... Bring your bikes that pedal well guys!

enduro06 (Jun 30, 2009 at 2:16)

Make it chainless... That's the only way it might be interesting. Its hard to believe Red Bull is actually sponsoring this event.

brule (Jun 30, 2009 at 9:04)

Red Bull has sales reps all over the country and they work with events like this to make it even more fun.

BigRidah (Jun 30, 2009 at 10:59)

This is a UCI supported downhill race sanctioned by ABA. Its part of the Alberta Cup. I dont think they are going to make it chainless. Rabbit hill host fun races like that on their own, they call it freeride fridays. They host events like chainless and guess your time events. And as for Red Bull being there. I doubt that there is gonna be like a Red Bull start gate and stuff. I think they are just gonna be giving out energy drinks and keychains, ect.

deannec (Jun 30, 2009 at 13:57)

There will be lots of free stuff given out. Even if you're not racing you should come by. Chainless maybe something thought about for later years. Right now we'll stick to the race and the dirt jam. The more people we have show up the more swag we can get for next year.

bittre (Jul 3, 2009 at 11:24)

if you guys want chainless, come to the rabbit hill race today. cheers

enduro06 (Jul 7, 2009 at 22:04) (Below Threshold)

Hhahah chainless is the only way to make Rabbit a little bit fun... "A LITTLE BIT" as in a penny in comparison to a hundred dollar bill. Their downhill race course is a joke...

bittre (Jul 7, 2009 at 22:43)

riding is riding man.. i dont know about you. but i would rather ride rabbit hill`s `downhill course`than not ride at all. so stop complaining.

enduro06 (Jul 9, 2009 at 8:37)

I'm not complaining, just making fun of Rabbit hill. $269 for a seasons pass to crap trails. Fernie Alpine Resort's season pass is like $150. Riding is riding, a four day trip to the mountains will accumulate more riding than a whole season at sorry ass Rabbit Hill.

ridetolivelivetoride (Jun 30, 2009 at 22:12)

stuck in Vancouver... bummer.

gregoftheisland (Jun 30, 2009 at 22:25)

Ya, that sucks so bad. I know I'd much rather be in Edmonton than Vancouver. Because Edmonton is awesome. There's so much going on there, like a ravine... and some truck testicles... and rednecks in ball caps. Yup, sucks to be in Vancouver... wasting your time riding on those shitty old shore trais

ridetolivelivetoride (Jun 30, 2009 at 22:48)

yep, I'm really regretting moving to Van for the summer.

deannec (Jul 9, 2009 at 12:39)

I should suspend you for being an ass on my blog. Play nice kiddies.

quinner (Jun 30, 2009 at 7:33)

Yes. Chainless would be a cool idea.
