AOP - ADVENTURE CHALLENGE SERIES RACE 1 pics and vids

i agree with this too.
i liked the format, starting on the new coarse and having a intermission between the next trail. That is good for all, the park, the vendors and the spectators...

The new coarse was great,
i think that for someone that has never been to one of these events, or for a person that wants to bring there family you simply can NOT ask for a better way to spectate...it allows you to get up close and personal to the event. This is one of the things that i LOVE about this sport more than anything, this is what makes the "down-home grassroots" feel of this event so GREAT IMHO!!! Being able for the fans to interact with the drivers and get up close to the buggys really make people new to the sport develop the desire to get involved. Once it gets in your blood, you are hooked!!!

I feel like that gave people enough time to walk to the hill where the race was going to be at, but i also thought it was going to be more like some of the hills in the past events. it was still a great show. i hope to see the series only get better with time, and i know it will.

Looking forward to the next event.
Adventure Offroad Park to me is one of the premier parks to wheel in the SOUTH hands down.
YOU SIMPLY CAN NOT ASK FOR A BETTER PLACE TO ENJOY THIS SPORT!!!
Great job AOP Keep it Up.

The after party was by far better then the race!!! I really like aop and tom does a great job but I will say for as many people their a 20 sec hill is to short it makes it hard to see the race. I was better off watching the videos on YouTube. I think if the hill was a little longer it would help spread the people out.

it would be a cool format for one of these kind of races to have a hill with two side by side lines that are similar and race two rigs at a time up them in a elimination match.......maybe a manmade course kind of like those old XRRA races, except steeper

Tom has set up a series where people can actual complete the trail without yardsaling their ****. Also, you have to plan for the weather. If it had rained the week before or even the day of the event that hill would have been a totally different story. I've run it wet and it was a bitch. I don't think Tom realized it would be that dry, as that side of the park pretty much stays wet even when it hasn't rained in awhile. That was the driest I've ever seen it. I think a lot of people came out thinking they would see something similar to what they saw last August at the bounty hill run. This series isn't like that, and personally I like it. He will be having another bounty hill comp later in the year though for those that like that sort of thing.

Also, if you're really dying to see some stupid stuff just stick around after the comp. There was plenty of it on the trails afterwards :****:

I agree as well. While I do like watching some of the craziness of the bounty hill, it does not make for smooth competition that TOM has created. Nor, do I want to watch carnage all day. I watched plenty of it Saturday night.
I would venture to say that several drivers would not want it real hard at each event either. A simple DNF at one race can really take you out of the series , let alone two DNFS. This is the exact words one driver told me. Drivers will and have to use a strategy to compete at each event to stand a chance at the championship. As crazy as it might sound, the intention is that you have to drive that "easy" hill and not just point and shoot. Clearly, if it was so easy to drive everyone would have made it under 20 seconds. Yet, only two men did.
 
This was my first trip to AOP and it is one of the best parks I have been to. We rode up from FL and it is permanently on our list now. I can see it getting much better over time. There were tons of potential new trails and the ones there were changing every time I went up. I shifted and moved a few tons of rock in two days. As for the comp it seemed to be ran very well just not my personal thing. Little to tame for me on the difficulty side barring time. Sloppy wet could have been different I guess. If there was a high speed section and U4 cars I would have been down. I will be back to see a bounty comp for sure. Watered down these days but Bouncer equals bounty killer in my book and always will. Designed for insane violence and repeated rolls that nothing else can. Wish that was the focus again. Purpose built Bouncers, U4, Trophy Truck get me going. I just like the extremes of what is possible. Great weekend though.
