The RED BULL City Scramble

[Starky307]

Went and helped with the track building yesterday, man it is going to be a cool event. It was wicked being in the middle of the city with diggers and bobcats cutting up logs etc.
Right in the middle of the track you can look down onto the trains in the Britomart station, classic!

I met Jesus who was brought out from Mexico by redbull to ride, real nice guy, got in and helped out.

To everyone sitting at home reading this, get up off the couch and come have a look on Sunday, you may not see this type of thing again in Auckland.

[dafydd roberts]

The wall of death High Middle or Low?

If i get to it :sick:

[tnarg]

The wall of death High Middle or Low?

If i get to it :sick:

I would say somewhere in the middle. It doesnt look as big and as hardcore as the ones at the Romainiacs. Its about a 45 degree angle ( they have a catch net if ya bike decides not to do it.) You should be ok. The other obstacles look awesome. The massive log bridge should provide some very good entertainment. cant wait.

Whats the log bridge like?

[dafydd roberts]

Yep not sure how much of an advantage it will be though on the wet logs it may work against me.

[ktmdude]

Hey Guys i am racing in the event on sunday and was just wondering does anyone know where we can park? also what time is everyone heading up. practise starts at 10? cheers

If your racing there looks to be a pit area on the map. Parking for car your best bet would be the big gravel pit next to foodtown on Qauy st.

The log bridge comprises of a steep logs layed long ways then on to a log platform with logs facing oppisite direction then more logs to ride down. Will be real slippery if it rains.

[.chris]

grabbed some pic's today.

Raining outside at the moment, so it might be a wet track :laugh:
I mean wet everywhere, not just the 2 low side skip bins full of water wet.

[clmintie]

Will be real slippery if it rains.

It won't rain............. :whistle:

[dafydd roberts]

I think the word is carnage :shit:

Did they end up putting anything on the up ramps for the bridges over the pedestrian area?

[Midget200]

It won't rain............. :whistle:

So you don't think they'll cancel it with the rain then? Is it something that goes ahead rain or shine????

[honda_power]

sucks i have to give it a miss... have a job interview

[camchain]

Just saw some excellent promo coverage for this on TV1. Big pat on the back to CB - very well done.

[carver]

i fucking hope so, look out for me

[oldguy]

what time all you spectators going to arrive, wonder if the trains are running. may catch the train into town.

[vazza]

Gonna be there by 11.. cant wait :D

[Buddy L]

ill be there at 10am with my kb shirt on. just charged two sets of batterys for the camera.

[klingon]

OMG I'm just catching up on this... it looks BRILLIANT!

I will definitely be there. Train you say? Catching the TRAIN?! Whatever happened to that wonderful form of transport called a motorbike? :bleh:

[courts]

.....................................

[courts]

think they are workin on the tracks.....

[klingon]

think they are workin on the tracks.....

Yes they are. They are working on the tracks right outside my house 24 hours a day over the long weekend. Lucky me!

Anyway all the trains are being replaced by buses for the duration so you should still be able to get into town according to the Maxx website www.maxx.co.nz

Actually the website is useless because if you just type in where you want to go in the usual way it gives you the normal train timetable. It's not until you go to the updates section that it tells you there will be no trains and you have to catch a bus instead. And for my local station (Avondale) the map of where to catch the bus seems to be
a) still showing info from Easter and
b) showing the bus stops for going to Britomart and going to New Lynn on the wrong sides of Blockhouse Bay Road.

Needless to say, I'll be taking the BIKE! :ride:

[Big Dave]

There is plenty of bike parking around the event. Fairly big crowd there too.

[Azzman]

That was friigin cool, couldnt stick around til the tho...:doh:

[ArcherWC]

Was a really good show/event, other organisers should take notes, the crowds were great.

The only thing that could have been done extra would have been a big screen as it was hard to see the whole course if you wearnt in the stands.

otherwise, VERY well done RedBull/Chris Birch/WMCC

[disenfranchised]

A few more photos HERE (http://picasaweb.google.com/disenfranchised.nz/RedBullCityScramble?feat=directlink)

Took most of these during the warmup laps when the crowds were lighter, and the sun was still out.

Here's some of my shots from a walk-through the event early in the day.

Wow. That was pretty damn excellent. Thanks for all the effort Birchy & crew, tough luck at the end dude - looks like you had a little hoodoo following you round. Scott - nice man love moment at the beginning (hope to see that on CGW) and some other crowd pleasing acrobat demos. Impressive effort.

[vazza]

Congrats to rory mead what a champ, thought he would have it from the start, very consistant.

[carver]

i have onboard footage from two bike which is mint, and camera views from around the track and interviews with various people!

il tease ya all with it soon

[h_tron]

how awsome was that?! mean event, huge turn out!:bleh:

[honda_power]

is this a one off? or will it be back? gutted as i couldnt make it

[Lula]

What a wicked event! This is great for NZ motorcycling and there was plenty of interest from the media department so I'd be expecting to see another event next year.
Well done to Rory Mead who picked up first prize, also good to see some international riders. Check out my coverage in the July issue of Motorcycle Trader. Oh and I got to meet Jesus! (from Mexico).

[dafydd roberts]

WOW what an event credit to everyone that was there spent more time under the bike than on it, :rolleyes: blew the AWD on the practise lap, over torqued the safety clutch the night before and blew a shaft did the race in single wheel finished last but still in one piece, Was a good day now to fix bike for wires tomorrow.

big ups to cave weta on the kick start KLX250!
we got some killer footage, and even a interview!

[paturoa]

Great event - saw Oldguy several rows ahead in the stands and a few other familiar faces.

Took the spawn and my Dad, who enjoyed himself a lot. For my Dad to enjoy bikes is saying a lot!

[charles23]

great event - well done to the riders, there'd be some sore bodies tomorrow, hope the dude who came off the KTM on the log ramp is okay, big fall, he got carted away in one of the early heats.

Are there offical results posted anywhere? would have been good to have had a riders list.

He was pitting close to me- he was on some good pain relief when we saw him last- getting shoved into an ambulance. broken ankle, real glad that he had just taken a big fat accident policy for him and his wife! - she had fallen 3 days earlier and had a collar around her neck!

[charles23]

came home and fitted my new GYTR flexi-levers and Hyde sump guard, now if only i could ride half as good as those guys.

[carver]

the video should be up by tomorrow

great to have something like this happening here :niceone:

[cave weta]

Bikes- its all about the bikes,mate!

Yeh, hes the bugger. And thats Billaroo (the phantom) looking on.

Good work getting both into the same photo.:niceone:

[Midget200]

So Cave Weta, how did you go, any broken or sore bits? I couldn't tell who was who, you should all wear your names on your backs!!!

[scott411]

i am wrecked today, that is one of the hardest things i have ever done, my whole body aches, thanks for the support and cheers guys,

it was amazing to see how easy Chris and Rory made the track look,

[carver]

here is the vid from the day (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?p=1129237172#post1129237172)


MFSC style

[Starky307]

What a wicked event!

It was one of the toughest things I've ever ridden, not some much impossible but the fact that every obstacle was straight after each other, no time for a rest or catch your breath.

The log section heading into the skips and then the rocks right after was very challenging. Those damn rock hoppers made it look easy.

It was so cool to see so many people turn up to watch and get in behind it.

Guttered I wrecked my bike 3 corners into my heat and had to sit there watching everyone going past, but also slightly relieved.....

I'm looking forward to the next one already.

[theblacksmith]

Thumbs up for the KB boys who had a go!
Really enjoyed that. Well organised event.
Lets hope it happens next year.

[krasher]

Awesome event. Great fun watching. Respect to all those who had a crack at it. Looked exhausting!

[Rupe]

Had to go halfway through.

Can someone post up the results

Top shots mate!- wish I had the chance to say Hi to you:niceone:

[cave weta]

So Cave Weta, how did you go, any broken or sore bits? I couldn't tell who was who, you should all wear your names on your backs!!!

Pfft- didnt get to ride long enough for any lasting damage! was let down by my choice of disposable old bike and the fact that those logs early in the day were as slippery as a buchers prick! They were like ice- in fact yes I know what ice is like! today I took 6 guys from the Dirt Division around the infamous Wires Loop. and until about 10.30 am every wet rock had ice all over its face- but those guys im sure will post up that story in a new thread.:doh:
Scott pushed himself to the limit out there, poor bastard!
Daffyd Roberts on the Christini found that two wheels spinning wildly are no better that one.
Full Credit to non KBer - Shaun Prescott on the Husaberg 450. he weighs 116kg and made the semis! but king of the day and the Golden sprocket was well deserved by Rory Meade. he was fluid all day.
Thanks Chris- but especially thanks to members of the Waitamata Motor Cycle Club who were on the infeild getting soaked and soiled and saving our sorry arses.

[tysonzane]

Freaking cool event!

You went well Scott, you fully ass'd off infront of me in the second water trough in your last race. Must be hard with the crowd there to get back on and give it shit.

For those who entered, what was the hardest section? The water and rocks looked hard.

What was the best bike to run? I dont want a two vs four debate but i'm just curious, early on with some of the average guys the lighter 125's looked the go but towards the end how some of the guys were riding 450's it was very impressive :niceone:

[oldguy]

so will Birchy still go even thou he didn't win trip?

:niceone: Congratulation, Chris Birch for Organizing and competing in an awesome event hope to see this happen again.:niceone:

Im not sure about the right bike to ride but- I do believe that wearing Lycra was a distinct advantage:rolleyes:

I did see a mid 90s CR125 fitted with a Beta 200 engine- what a trailbike!

[Ktmboy]

Yeah, what a great event. Saw a few frames get slightly bent on the edges of the waste binns. Remind me not to buy any bikes used in this event.
Namely one RM125...used by 411.

Was great and big ups to all.

I guess Rory and Chris will be sitting together on the same flight to Austria.

Rooming together as team mates too::rolleyes:Gooo kiwi's::clap:

Yes, I thought it was a CR250 with had a huge fly wheel(Boom made the trip). It was very smooth and probably should have gone further.

Cool bike.

but im sure red bull can afford it....

Only summizing. I estimate that event would have cost 6 figures.
A couple of TV slots gets you 20k for each, plus all the footage Redbull will show all around the world.etc etc.

You tube..Mega publicity.

Chris Birch to Austria, certainly.

Although if he had won they would have saved a few bucks.
Just my take.

Looked like it was ment to be in that frame

Watching this superb event really made a big impression on me, haven't thought about much else since. When I think of how demanding it must have been - especially for the guys who who probably hadn't ridden trials type stuff much, it gives me a little bit of a lump in my throat from admiration. The obstacles were relentless and no rest time or room to re-focus and line yourself up properly. (Felt inspired, had a good titu around some of the easier bits of the trials area at Sandpit today. Result: mashed expansion chamber, smashed guard, tweaked ribcage, so i'll definitely be back for more).

Scott's victory donut and hand held out for high fives was bloody priceless - really summed the event up for me. Huge respect to you all of you guys who did the business.

Did anyone see anything on the TV news about it?

Yes, there was a (sadly short) clip on the TV1 news that night. I've been told TV1 also did a bit the night before the event. Might be worth looking it up on the TVNZ website.

(I would look myself but I'm a little short of interwebby credits at the mo)

[SpikedPunch]

Great event! And really lucky to miss the rain, wow. The little devil on my shoulder was sort of wishing it'd rain a bit just to see how slick that wall ride could get...But nah, good it didn't ;) Fantastic effort from all of the riders, really wicked. Some real talent and determination out there! That concrete must have been awful to fall on, can't have been easy on the bikes either. Standing under the bridges as the bikes rumbled over was quite cool, visibility at ground level was a bit of an issue for the vertically challenged, but was all good from the grandstand. We were cheering and clapping for the KBers in the race. Hope there'll be another one next year :)

[FlangMasterJ]

There was some good footage on Sports Tonight.
Was short (2 mins) but good very stuff. Hopefully more to come next weekend.

Copy that re being very cool with bikes going over you on the ramps Spiked punch. View from grandstand was very good but can't beat getting real close to the apocalypes action. I love the smell of premix in the morning.

I'll only be buying Red Bull go-juice in future, those guys do a tremendous job in supporting action sports.

[White trash]

Well done all the competitors, looked like a hell of a lot of hard work.

Scott, particularly enjoyed your showmanship at the end of the Semi mate, so did Keiran. Took a pocket of roost home as proof of his attendance and a very happy one year old.

Hope it becomes an anual event.

[MissRippa]

great event - well done to the riders, there'd be some sore bodies tomorrow, hope the dude who came off the KTM on the log ramp is okay, big fall, he got carted away in one of the early heats.

Are there offical results posted anywhere? would have been good to have had a riders list.


Does anyone happen to have any pic's of the flying peach on the KTM coming off the logs?

The flying peach is fine, just a sore wrist and bum nothing broken...he did win the Bugger award for the biggest crash of the day :third:

So glad youre OK- A speedy recovery to you both. ( enjoy your sudden unplanned holiday)

[camchain]

Was thinkin' today I wonder if uncle Red Bull would like to store some of the bits and pieces of that course out in a sandy forest somewhere near here. Or maybe a working bee to build a wall ride?

Interesting digging through the results/times. Jason Davis was looking good but something must have happened in the final.

[charles23]

he crashed out in his semi i think,so didnt qualify for the final race.,but he was looking fast when he kept it on two wheels

[charles23]

what was really cool was to see so many different skills racing at the same time, where else would you see some top MX, enduro, trials and XC riders

[chop]

poor jd had a shocker!! was going so well

[chrisktm]

HI Guys and girls. thanks all for coming along and getting into it. Strongest memories for me: Freaking out when seven truck and trailers showed up at once on Friday morning, freaking out when I realised I had pretty much stuffed up the entries, working from six am till ten for five days and falling asleep in the pits on race day! Getting up at five on race day to see stars and not rain clouds. Seeing how stoked everyone was on race day, operating heavy machinery in town on Monday morning whilst still a bit drunk. I'm pretty confident we will be doing it all again next year!

[honda_power]

cool. not missing out again. when can we start putting our names down :)

a wall ride at the sandpit?? how intriguing:niceone:

how much interest would there be in riding something like this, i was talking to someone today who is interested in building a course at harriville like this, maybe not quite so extreme but def with rocks and logs,

and Chris cheers for the awesome event, you did an amazing job,

Steve at triple x moto was saying there gonna rebuild a similar course in riverhead forest, probably with the wall ride and log bridge from the city scramble

Keen on this 'course for the rest of us' idea - can probably help build/assemble. Everyone might keep an eye out for free interesting objects to try and ride on. (Pity rocks aren't made out of wood, easier on engine cases etc.)

Thanks again Chris & crew, you really did a fantastic job. Maybe on old car body or 2 and some cattle carcasses for an apocalypse theme next year?

hmmm... we have a bit of land ... we have some rocks to use as well... and logs.

Planning has started. Want to get involved then contact us. Better still get in touch with Darren Stockman@Waitemata MCC.

Righto. Had a ride on Darren's trials bike about a year ago. Very weird but neat. Logs? Rocks? um yes I got aquainted with those at Sandpit last Sunday. Bike/body came off second best. Will be back for my revenge later.

Was eyeing up a couple of those concrete thingamajigs but looked too sharp and un-soft. Liked the sets of tires buried in the ground but too scared to commit to attempting the largest set - great fun though! Obstacle types that go up stages of difficulty are great for building confidence. Can really get into giving it a go.

theres an old pajero 20 metres off to the right of the second half of the twister? drag it up, theres a start, would like a nice big guard befor attempting anything like that though

HI Guys and girls. thanks all for coming along and getting into it. Strongest memories for me: Freaking out when seven truck and trailers showed up at once on Friday morning, freaking out when I realised I had pretty much stuffed up the entries, working from six am till ten for five days and falling asleep in the pits on race day! Getting up at five on race day to see stars and not rain clouds. Seeing how stoked everyone was on race day, operating heavy machinery in town on Monday morning whilst still a bit drunk. I'm pretty confident we will be doing it all again next year!

Good on ya chris... I'm impressed! and so were a lot of others.
Thanks for the effort put in. Family thought it rocked and was really cool (their words)
That damn Rory Mead eh! :pinch:

look forward to it next year then.
