After the ipperwash ride I will be hosting a party at my place
http://www.x-h2o.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=10850&d=1158714845
see afterparty thread for directions and details.
On the 30th we will ride the hothole in Monroe, Michigan
directions (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=monroe,+mi&ie=UTF8&z=15&ll=41.871542,-83.3746&spn=0.014221,0.053988&t=h&om=1)
(follow red line)take 75 to the Laplaisance rd. exit. From there go strait across Laplaisance rd onto waters edge dr. follow that back to the parking lot and that is where we all put the skis in. from there just ride out of the no wake zone into lake erie and stay far away from the edge because of real thick seaweed, and strait into the hothole. cant miss the tall powerplant tower.

[Hogggman]

I like this getting the dates out early for the upcoming season now I can set them in stone on the calendar. Now all we need is a date for Lanier.

[snowxr]

Ok, so are we doing anything besides riding this year? Any chance we'll have a sick trick contest, or a build-off?

[djkorn1]

King, are you taking over the FSF duties from Darin?

[kingnothing3]

DJ, yes I will be hosting FSF this year. I need to get ahold of steve about the canadian day of the ride before I post all the info.

Will definatly have a grille and lots of burgers and hotdogs on the penn. this year! The reason I left the last you years was because I or my group was hungry. There will also be a decent sized fire and dry wood so that everyone not in the water can keep warm.

Snow, I thought about that and it might be hard to pull something like that off in the small hothole. But since its one of two(lanier being the other) rides in flat water, I thought maybe a hood race or hood freestyle contest? Im no good on the hood but I thought it would be interesting to watch. Its up to you guys, ill just try to make it happen.

[djkorn1]

I say it's a freeride. Keep it free. No contests or competitions....

Just my opinion.

[typhoontommy]

We always do an event in IL on the weekend of the 30th, so there is no way we can attend. I would also think you take a risk of cooler weather by moving back one week,

[djkorn1]

Yeah, gotta have Rambo and Typhoon there!

[yamanube]

Whats the address for the ride in MI? I plan on doing at least on day and it will most likely just be the MI one...

[The other Alex]

Naturally, I am in.
I think I may even crash at the King's place this year...

[romack991]

i call dibs on a spot upstairs
:bananalama:

[kx454]

"Total Est. Time: 8 hours, 10 minutes"

thats not to bad, you can pretty much count me and a few of my friends in.

[kingnothing3]

i call dibs on a spot upstairs
:bananalama:

you got it:fing02:

[2lick]

i call dibs on a spot upstairs
:bananalama:
me too!!!

[kingnothing3]

me too!!!

Should be more than enough room for everyone between the two extra rooms in my house, the living room, the upstairs of the barn, downstair of the barn and if anyone wants to bring a tent and camp I have 7 acres of flat ground.

enough room for everyone to crash. but tim and nick are now getting vip treatment. haha

[yamanube]

Sounds like Im going to be bringing a tent to freestyle fest...so is the date set yet or is it expected to change...a bit earlier would be nice because it would be warmer but Im not complaining. Looking forward to meeting some of you guys as I was not able to go to Daytona!

[The other Alex]

I plan on sleeping in my car.

...If I dont pass out on the hood of it first.

I want to wake up in the morning with a 2-stroke salute and the beautifle smell of 2 stroke exhaust tangled in with bacon and sausage.
...are we doing Bob Evans this year?

[thegoldenboy]

I'll plan to be at the Canadian day. Hopefully I'll know some Canadians by than...

[B-Roy]

I am definatley going to come back home from school in the U.P. to do some riding!!!

I say keep the date what it is. Would be a sweet last ride of the year...

[kingnothing3]

yup this will be the last time many people around here will get to ride for the year. unless you plan on heading out to the jersey rager! I had a blast the last two years.

yamanube, and alex there will be plenty of room for everyone inside. If you want privacy in a tent or you car thats cool with me. just want everyone to know that if its cold or rainy,(hard to predict that time of year) there will be a nice warm place for you.

[SuperjetSteve]

ill be there.

[D-Roc]

Ski Shack crew will be at the ipperwash part, Monroe looks real tempting. We'll see when we get there.

[superrob750]

its worth it just for the party.. i went just for the party last year.. didnt ride at all..

[D-Roc]

its worth it just for the party.. i went just for the party last year.. didnt ride at all..

yeah thats what looks so tempting,:biggrin: but if there are waves in ipperwash all weekend then me might just stay there. i 'm not committing to anything just yet:sneaky:

[djyox]

I want to make it to one or the other... I am thinking MI... Any hotels around the area? or how friendly do I have to get with you king to crash at your place? No spooning right?

Anyone have an address to the MI local? I know its a far way out, but I would like to start planning, and getting money figured out and what not... I want to hit a few rides on the tour this year if I can...

I also want to drag along some more of the MN people along as well...Yamanube is driving the short bus on the way there!

[kingnothing3]

everyone is welcome at my place!

[The other Alex]

w00t, Im pumped.
...and it's still 9 months away.

Brian, where are you going to school at?
I want to go up and visit a buddy of mine at tech and do some riding the Superior...

[djyox]

Anyone got an address of where us MN boys would be driving to? either the lake, or a house or???

EDIT: Found it!!

[The other Alex]

Minnesota you would want to ferry across the Lake Michigan and come south down I 75 to east I 69 straight to the Bluewater bridge. From there you can hook up with some of us for the candian portion.
As for Monroe, just follow some of us down. It would be I 94 west, right off of the Bluewater bridge, take it down the I 75 south and get off around the Kings place.
To get back to Minnesota from monroe just jump back on I 75, take it north for a couple hours and then to the ferry back across LM.

thats the way i would go.. i dont know if they allow trailers tho..

that puts in muskegon.. 96 east bound..

[djyox]

looks like they charge an extra car for a trailer under 8'...

We better car pool to make this cheaper...

[kenny j]

hey king, i got to check out you place on saturday when i dropped off the sled. your garage is hooked up! it shold be an inspiration to all men with toys! i can see the FSF afterparty going well at place like that!!! weve always drove up and drove down on sun, were gonna have to try and make it up on sat this year. :biggthumpup:

[kingnothing3]

haha thanks kenny! When you saw it, it was practically empty! normally have a few more toys. fsf should be crazy!:arms: try to make it both days!



Anyone that lives far away and wants to come fri. night so they dont have a long morning drive, can stay at my place. 2lick did this last year because he had a long drive and it worked out very nicely. tim, you should consider this...

[romack991]

tim, you should consider this...

Hmm... I do have VIP status :afro:

[kingnothing3]

jetdude, I know bob evans is an annual morning meeting place. Last year everyone that stayed at my place went to mcdonalds for breakfast. Its only a few miles from my place and it gives you a chance to digest your breakfast on the drive to the water. If you all want to do the bobevans things its cool with me, but just letting you know theres another option.

[TB]

nothing beat bob evans after driving down sun. morning last year...it hit the spot!

[Queen Nothing]

so i'm thinking there needs to be a wet t-shirt contest at the after party.. what do you guys think? :Banane35:

sorry but if youtube recomends you to be at least 18 to see the vid, This site does too.... although sandy has some very nice assets:bigeyes:
wet t-shirt stuff should probley go into the afterparty thread to keep this one more about the ride conversation.:highhorse:

[D-Roc]

haha thats okay, If that was wrong of me....i don't want to be right.

[The other Alex]

Man those were bouncy.

It kind of makes me miss the days where I would come home from school and Baywatch would be on...

[Rather_B_SLEDDING]

I'll hit the Canadian date for sure, just not posative on the US side. Anybody just stay in Ipperwash for the entire weekend? Is there anywhere to stay? Camp, Motel whatever.....

Thanks,

I'm back.

[kingnothing3]

alright! steves back!!!!

[Zerfman34]

Hey guys, I'm realatively new to this site, and i'm really interested in getting to some of these freerides - especially the one in ipperwash. I just rode there last week & met "sjet" there. It's a great place to ride but i'm a little confused by this thread. Is there something in monroe MI that weekend, or is it all ipperwash, or is there some kind of hothole at ipperwash or something? sorry to be a retard but can somebody just lay out what the deal-e-o is?

[SuperJETT]

It's one day at each. FreeStyleFest started at Monroe only, but expanded to Ipperwash.

[Zerfman34]

Sweet I'm in at Ipperwash. My friend has a cottage on the beach so hopefully he can make it and take his couch out too.:beerchug:

[Ericfox]

Man I would love to come to this ride! --> but it's in CANADA on saturday..... and then monroe on Sunday.... I will still think about it, but you guys should think about switching the dates around next year, so that the Monroe date is on Saturday... I dont want anybody to get their panties in a bunch... that's just my personal opinion. It just seems like the Monroe site would work better for most riders, unless a lot of you guys are from Canada, and Saturday is usually a better day as far as people being free to do something it seems. If most of you guys are from Canada then I guess the dates make sense.

It actually works better for the US guys because they can make the longer drive Friday night/Sat morning, come back across on Saturday for the party, then go home a shorter distance on Sunday night to work on Monday.

This has been beaten to death before, it works better this way for more people.

Is it pretty easy to take your ski over the border? Do they ever give you any crap? How long of a drive is it from monroe to the canada location?

[Dirtybird]

My brother another friend and I are probably going to try and make it to Canada. The monroe trip is longer and doesnt seem to appeal as much. :dunno: Anyone prove me otherwise?

It appeals more if you live in Ohio... less obviously if you live by Canada...

[SuperJETT]

My brother another friend and I are probably going to try and make it to Canada. The monroe trip is longer and doesnt seem to appeal as much. :dunno: Anyone prove me otherwise?

Just the fact that it's only 90 miles from you makes it desirable I'd think. Heck, the closest one to me is 5 hours this year and I'm making that drive.

[Gainera2582]

It will take your approximately the same amount of time from your house if your going to ipperwash or monroe(roughly 45 min to an hr).


Go to both sites, they are both a blast.

[SuperjetSteve]

ill be at both for sure i just need to find a ride to canada

[Dirtybird]

How far is it from the ride area to where we launch from? Is there anywhere to gas up? Is someone going to be in a boat with our gas? :dunno:

[SuperjetSteve]

dirtybird.My dad will bring gas to the island if you would like.Hes bringing his aboat to go fish the lake and said he'll take some supplies to the island if you want!

[SuperJETT]

It's about a mile or so from the ramp to the riding area.

Some people just ride back to gas up after a while. Others like myself take a 5 gallon jug with us. I strap mine in the front of the tray. I have a low profile Moose Racing jug so it fits perfectly.

Even if you run out of gas there, someone will have enough gas to get you back to the ramp to fill up or go get your jug for you.

[Gainera2582]

I am really hoping for some north winds at ipperwash and no flats!!!!!!

[snowxr]

ill be at both for sure i just need to find a ride to canada

You said the same thing about Wave Rave.

[turbo626]

I really enjoyed claybanks freeride. I will have to check on a few things but should be able to make it solo if nothing else for both days. I will need a place to stay. Kingnothing...you mind if i crash at your place? or should a bring a tent? Excited to see so many freerides so close.

[SuperjetSteve]

You said the same thing about Wave Rave.

my dad made plans scuba diving without me knowing.I was going to go.This date is marked on the calender.

[superstock1986]

anyone around the tri city area want to car pool, or anyone north of bay city want to ride together. I will be going on sunday for the day. let me know thanks Chad.

Here's the same little ipperwash map I keep posting every year.

[brentR]

everything but a gas station!

[steve802cc]

everything but a gas station!


Good point. There are actually two gas stations there that I forgot to mark on the map. One is near the grocery store and the other is a down west Ipperwash rd towards the lake. I'm not sure what either has for high octane fuel. If you need 92,93,94 octane you might want to get some in London, Forest or Sarnia as you are passing thru. There is a Sunoco in Sarnia just off HY 402 at Airport rd that has 94 octane.

Steve

[brentR]

oh i got plenty of 94 here!!

[Dirtybird]

THIS JUST IN :reporter:So I was just informed I am a huge jackass!!! I thought the ride was this weekend for some reason :dunno: Maybe my brother said that to me...Doesnt matter. ANYWAY. We might be showing up now!! :fing02::Banane01:
