alrighty folks.




Ok folks.
Here it is:
the official unofficial results of the enduro de ocho
now even though we had the awards ceremony and what not this evening..
bonus points are still to be had, as the party is still continuing and there are a few people left still partying.. those left include... jut rut, pisgah works, and a pisgah princess! hell yeah yall..

(*update, I won the party tonight. Jut threw in the towel and I just updated the list below and those of you that made it to the awards ceremony might notice a few shifts since more bonus points have been givin.)

if you have any issues with the points: Lara Lustig and I would be glad to meet with you over a beer and discuss the elaborate formulas we used in excell to accurately determine the points for the following events (that is assuming there are no blatant human errors which we sure as hell probably had here and there but that has NOTHING to do with the real winner, seriously):

name_______place_____ total points
Jut Rut ________1_____ 211.61
Dunn Beetle ____2_____ 200.42
matt johnson ___3_____ 185.82
alan winston ___4_____ 178.32
Pisgah Works___5 _____147.26
Marshall ______6_____ 134.13
Ivory ________7______ 119.6
Si ___________8______ 118.22
tomato _______9 _____110.56
Sharpie _______10______ 109.54
Gabe ________11_____ 81.42
Dugie Fresh ___12 ____77.77
N8 America ___13 ____77.38
Kuntz ________14_____ 58.66
Broussard _____15_____ 40.12
Beerabi _______16 _____38.62
Crunch _______17 ______25.62



Points were taken on each of the following events: Uphill race up 5000>spencer, downhill-trace ridge to wash creek, at I-9: dirt jumps, Pump Track TT1, serious skinnies, trials, bunny hop, dodge ball, winning the party, XC Race, actual pumping pump track, “The Chopper, baby” and various bonus points to be had here and there. Generally speaking (accept for bonus points), for each event you could get max 17 points (the number of participants), 16, 15 and so on.. max number of points wins the title: Most Bad Ass Mountain Biker in the World (MBAMBW) which as you can see is Jut Rut, the Visionary behind the Enduro De Ocho. You might think it's not fair, that a man win his own race.. but as the MBAMBW says “ throw your own enduro and if I show up and you beat me I won't complain”.. now without any bonus points Justin would still have won fair and square.. and you know why.. because he IS the Most Bad Ass Mountain Biker in the World..

For an individual break down on winners of specific events.. lemme show ya:

Saturday:

  • Uphill race up 5000>spencer – Marshall Hance

Sunday:

  • XC Race (rice pinicl>n.bndry>greenslick)– Marshal Hance (who hadn’t retrieved his ED8 bike from the night before and had to ride the ole fixie cross bike with flat bars?!)
  • Jump at the end of Greenslick Bonus points - Jut Rut
  • actual pumping pump track – Dunn Beetle!!!
  • “The Chopper, baby” - SI
  • Various Bonus Points – most bonus points: still working that one out as mentioned above.


    Matt Johnson finishing the chopper obstacle course.. in style! just after this he pulled the rear wheel off the ground and pulled a front flip! for this he was awarded a deserved 10 bonus points. btw: he ate shit and had some physical therapy immediately performed by the most bad ass mountain biker in the world (almost!), the Dunn Beetle.














Lazoom bus.. you might guess who the first person off the bus was that night. This was when the competition for "Winner of the Party" began.



Industry 9.. soon you will see pictures of the
31" bunny hop tie btwn matt johnson and alan winston.
















Alan Winston!!! again.. rocks it on the pump track.

















Mr. Marshall Hance, who although got second on
the skinny's later went on to clean the whole
100 ft of 3 to 5 in wide skinny rail..
















Alan Winston later awarded a first aid kit for most
carnage of the weekend. First Aid from RNR-Rachel , WFA-Matt.





























Sunday Morning, just after the XC race, on our way to
Papa's and Beer.
















"Seriously though?..."















Chris Ivory.. on his way to winning the party.
















wow ...
















this is the enduro de ocho:















I had a pretty good time this weekend.















Jut Rut and I pulled this thing together in a manner of a few days when it came down to it. A few scouting rides.. a few beers here and there.. the most amazing reggae concert of the century.. and it was on.














Jut: "Alright this is how the derby works"


Look closely at this one.. between Gabe and Sharpie..
there are a pair of eyes and the ever present reflector
















Good times.





















Pump Track Parade:

Holy crap, those are some funny pictures. "Hey Mom, look at me!!"

Despite my great night sleep last night, I've been fighting a long Enduro-hangover all day, as well as continual bouts of giddiness as I piece the weekend together.

I'm already looking forward to next year.
