The 2011 Junk Show Tour

[Dave Bloom]

What better way to kick off the season than by getting you all stoked up for The 2011 Junk Show Tour? I mean, after last season, covering five resorts in seven days and crashing through the entire thing followed by a banger video that featured chaos and nonsense, what else could we do this year to top it off? Well, I'm pretty sure adding more stops and crossing borders into Canada is a start. Are you ready for it all to come your way? If you missed out on last year's trip I'm sure you are still kicking yourself. So, get ready, mark your calendar, and stay tuned for all of the details that are coming your way. Canada, get ready.

Being the youngest one... looks like the last leg of the trip will be less sketchy (No sneaking into/ sprinting out of bars) :cool:

[Ethan]

HELL YEAH! Meeting everyone on the Creek stop last year was awesome! I'm out of school for most of this, so I plan to go to as many stops as possible!

[SBruce]

Looking forward to riding with you guys on one of those Montreal days (Tremblant? Bromont?) We should hinge the Canadian Meet around this event!

I noticed yesterday that Shop-Task now has a store in Toronto -- maybe we could get AJ Delong and the boys up for some fun??

I can house some r8 guys in Burlington which is a good link between alot of Vermont mountains and Montreal. Also have a drop in and rail/box in the backyard.

[Plorr]

I'm going to be living and working at Mount Snow this year so I can house a couple guys at that stop as well as help with hookups for tickets (obviously there WILL be a stop there, right Dave?)

On the other hand, seeing as I will be working at a ski resort, and that is one of the busiest weeks of the year, the chances of me getting more than 2 of those days off work is slim to none. But I'll definitely try to make as many of them as possible. And I will definitely be shredding/drinking with you guys at Mount Snow.

On a related note, any of you guys are welcome to come crash this season if you want to ride Mount Snow. Just let me know, and I may even be able to hook you up with discounted tickets. (Beer donations of course are appreciated)

I will take you up on that offer at some point for sure man.

[Plorr]

I will take you up on that offer at some point for sure man.

Maybe I'll shoot up to Burlington as well for a day or two to shred Smuggs or Jay.

[mctwist311]

Not sure I can cross the boarder up north I got a upm like 6 years ago and the last time I tried I was denied not sure how long those things stick... Also do you need passports now? I'll let my boss know I need these days off

Yes you have to have a passport or Nexus Card to get into Canada from the US. --

The Junk Show Fan Page dropped this week and has already gained some steam. Within that the facebook event for The Junk Show Tour was added. Those coming along for the ride please feel free to click 'attending' and blow up the thread with all sorts of comments including, likes and dislikes, humor, and preference of 'CDs or Tapes.' Bon apetite.

How old are you? Drinking age in Canada is 18/19 across the board I think. (I'm not completely sure about the east end)

[ny300z]

i should be at the mount snow stop to chill and ski. even if im on my skiis.



.....or maybe someone will have a extra pair of revels i can use for the day :)

[Kirk S]

Should be good for the 31st and 1st.

[SBruce]

18 in Quebec, Alberta and Manitoba, 19 everywhere else..

[zhack]

havn't been lurking the forums too much yet, but seeing this jacks me up. i for sure will be in montreal that week, and possibly NY depending where in NY its going to be....might even be closer than montreal....

[JVAWN]

well now that im out of high school i should be able to make this as long as you guys are cool with me tagging along. if i cant do the entire trip ill at least make a couple stops

[Dave Bloom]

Kirk Thompson, I challenge you to a game of (ski)B.L.A.D.E. on The Junk Show Tour.

You too, Ty. ;)

[JVAWN]

are there any hotels or anything picked out yet? id like to set this in stone.

[Dave Bloom]

Last year we actually just drove around and found the cheapest thing available last minute, haha.

[JVAWN]

Last year we actually just drove around and found the cheapest thing available last minute, haha.

sounds good to me. if im doing the whole thing, how much cash should i set aside for lift tickets/hotels

[Dave Bloom]

That's a tough call. Lift tickets alone rack up in price. The hotels usually work out very well because we all just split it and cram many people into a few rooms. Then, just factor in food and gas. Usually people ride together so that gets split as well. So, overall the lift tickets are what makes it pricey. Credit cards work nice…until you get the bill in January haha.

[ny300z]

buying lift tickets is the worst part of skiing

[JVAWN]

do you think i could pull it off for 600 bucks round abouts? just gotta figure out if i need to sell my project 86gt or not. kinda sad that my broke ass needs to sell a car to go skiing lol

[Dave Bloom]

600 sounds fine. How many of the days are you trying to make it to?

[Talon]

Passport is in! only took 10 days to get it back which is really fast. Im ready to leave the US! :cool:

[millet]

Kirk Thompson, I challenge you to a game of (ski)B.L.A.D.E. on The Junk Show Tour.

You too, Ty. ;)

Yes! I also want to see Talon vs. Enouf.

[Roussel]

for the montreal part of the tour, i have a downtown apartment, on Saint Laurent street, tons of bars, awesome roomates, tons of place to crash on a couch or on the floor.

[JVAWN]

600 sounds fine. How many of the days are you trying to make it to?

all of them. haha. if whoever rides with me chips in for gas ill drive aswell. i drive a wrx and i have a roof rack. it just will be a rough ride since its lowered and kind of obnoxious.

you need a passport to go to canada? since when

[Roussel]

you dont need a passport to get into canada, youll need one to get back into the US. been about 2 or 3 years now.

[zhack]

any word on where in NYS everyone will be going?.....i wont be able to go to montreal so i wanna make it somewhere in NYS

and ya you need a passport to get here/back in the states, kind of a pain. but you could always stay here and a new love for hockey and maple syrup, haha

[JVAWN]

you dont need a passport to get into canada, youll need one to get back into the US. been about 2 or 3 years now.

never knew that. guess i gotta add getting one of those to my to do list.

[Roussel]

for those of you planning to meet up in montreal, we are trying to plan out a canadian skiboard meet in the events section.

[SBruce]

you dont need a passport to get into canada, youll need one to get back into the US. been about 2 or 3 years now.

Same thing I guess -- "Canada will not allow a U.S. citizen into the country who does not have the proper documentation to return home."

[dis]

I always thought you needed a passport, though there are some other options for frequent travellers. If you're a US resident, but not a citizen, check what you need so you don't get surprise at the border. I know people who have been turned away.

[Dave Bloom]

Okay, sorry I have not been able to respond to a lot of this and give details on the tour. I was away for the weekend filming with Hein and Enouf.

You cannot cross the border either way (if you are a US citizen) without an up-to-date US Passport. It is a requirement and has been for about two years now.

The details for Montreal have not been set yet as far as which resort we will be meeting at.

In the next few weeks there will be details for the entire tour posted on here and the Facebook fan page. If you haven't already you should go on Facebook and 'like' the fan page because more updates go on there than go on here.

Bottom line: Since June 2009, everyone from every country arriving in Canada by air, land and sea has needed a passport or equivalent travel document. (Some exceptions apply to children's passport requirements). Besides an up-to-date passport, visitors may instead have an equivalent travel document, such as a NEXUS Card.

[Dave Bloom]

Dear Northeast,

Do you plan on having snow this year? We do not want to cancel The Junk Show Tour.

Sincerely,

A Pissed Off Snow Slider

[MitchK]

You can move the tour to thr northwest then :)

[Dave Bloom]

Sorry, Mitch. Most of the park riders in skiboarding today, including the majority of the Revel8 Team Riders, live in the northeast.

But, it seems like there is actually a chance the tour could get canceled if the temps don't start staying low and the snow gets there. The east coast resorts are not opening at all because they can't even blow snow. It is a total bummer.

[JVAWN]

a buddy of mine is on the park crew at a local mountain i have a season pass to. he's telling me that evern if it gets cold right now it would be until at least the middle of december before the mountain was completely open. this blows.

[CrazyBoy-1]

Yeah, nothing but rain right now in my area. I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it to any of the dates for the tour. I can't take any vacation because they've blacked out those dates at work from so many people taking off. Having said that, the fact that I work first shift now means I may be able to make it to the PA date or one of the NJ days for an evening.

[Dave Bloom]

There will be a few changes to locations on a few of the days.

[jackschmid]

the good ole midwest has plenty of snow

[sempai]

the good ole midwest has plenty of snow

Man made :D

[c-smithy]

There will be a few changes to locations on a few of the days.

what changes you got in mind ??

[Dave Bloom]

I wont make any announcements until the the official schedule is set.

[zhack]

this lack of snow and cold temps is not cool

[Dave Bloom]

As they say in Show Biz, the show must go on. But, in our case, the tour must go on. So yeah, regardless of how big or little the setups will be, The 2011 Junk Show Tour is happening. So, come join us.

[Talon]

I know I don't post alot but I figured I'd share that i'm looking forward to riding with all my friends more than I am looking forward to christmas. Even if the set up is small or non-existant, I am ready to shred the east coast and have some fun. See you all soon.:cool:

[Dave Bloom]

That totally made my night. I feel the exact same way. And, have I got a surprise for you and everyone else :)

[sempai]

Ever considered making an appearance in the Midwest, say MN, WI or MI?

[ny300z]

it wasnt easy buy i managed to move some stuff around and get that tuesday off for the Mountain Creek stop!

looking forward to it!

[Dave Bloom]

Here is the official schedule.


Monday, December 26: Big Boulder, PA

Tuesday, December 27: Mountain Creek, NJ

Wednesday, December 28: Whiteface, NY

Thursday, December 29: Loon, NH

Friday, December 30: Mount Snow, VT

Saturday, December 31: Stratton, VT

Sunday, January 1: Jay Peak, VT

Monday, January 2: Montreal, QC

Tuesday, January 3: Montreal, QC

Wednesday, January 4: Montreal, QC

Thursday, January 5: Montreal, QC

[CrazyBoy-1]

Monday isn't looking good due to conflicts with holiday plans, but I'm in for Tuesday evening at Creek. I wish I could make it to more, especially Jay, but it just won't work.

[Jens]

Any chance the Junk Show Tour will come to Europe this year? Due to a lack of time and money I won't be able to get to the US this year either :(.

[Dave Bloom]

Mount Snow has just been dropped from the tour. There is a possible add-on date on January 5th or 6th, but that will be a semi-last minute decision. They are taking the worst of all north east resorts and it wouldn't be justifiable for the entire tour to make a stop when they have so little open and expect so many people over the holiday week. It will be a zoo, something no one would enjoy. Although this is the situation for the time being we will definitely return to Mount Snow in the future as it is one of our favorite resorts on the east coast.

[Davelynam]

we could do somewhere in NH like crotched or something, maybe we could get hershel to come visit,l or stay at hershels if we beg

[Dave Bloom]

The situation is already being taken care of.

[MattRoth]

What's better than Revel 8 filming in Pennsylvania an hour from me, but the day after Christmas none-the-less!

[Dave Bloom]

Due to the nature of what the east coast of North America is looking like as far as snow conditions, or lack there of, the Canadian portion of the tour is postponed until later in the season and stops at Whiteface, Stratton, and Mount Snow have been removed. For the 30th and 31st we will be riding Killington in Vermont. Big Boulder, Mountain Creek, Loon, and Jay Peak will remain the same. For further information feel free to message me on here or contact me via email at fourdownproductions@gmail.com. We are sorry for any issues this may cause. Hoping for better snowfall and conditions in 2012.

In place there will be a Spring Steez tour the last week of March. Lets hope for snow.

[JoeyAncz]

Excited for big boulder tomorrow

[CrazyBoy-1]

How late will you guys be at Creek on Tuesday? I won't be able to get there until about 5pm, so I'm debating whether it's worth getting a ticket. I'd still like to come hang out either way.

Also, I'm definitely in for Spring Steeze. I had a blast last time at Mt Snow.

[zhack]

excited for this spring steez, since i wasnt able to make the canadian part....keep it updated on potenial canadian locations, i will be down 100% in march (spring) for anywhere ontario and east

[JVAWN]

really wish this tour would have happened. i just couldn't justify taking off work for only a few stops. ill have to save my time off for a better event in a little while.
