Yo yo yo.... how the hell are yas doin !?

 

Last year at this time me and a few buddies were working hard for the first CoalFest ride and despite the rainfest all day Saturday, the event turned out pretty good. That Sunday at Coal Hill was awsome, musta been 100+ people riding at Coal Hill and we had our BansheeHQ crew there terrorizing the hills. I'd love to get everyone back again this year for CF2. I think alot of guys who came last year really cant appreciate how much terrain there is to ride because of all the rain and mud kept us close to camp.

 

Memorial day weekend. Im going to bet the cops will be all over the place that weekend.

 

You guys all decide on a weekend date and I'll be there to help organize and show you guys around the place.

 

My biggest concern last year was being busted by the police for riding\camping on private property. Just so everyone knows, things are still the same, its private property so you'll be there at your own risk.

 

No littering ! Last years CoalFest Camp was pretty damn clean after everyone went home. Thanks for keeping it clean. Me and RustyRider\Del went around and picked up any garbage that was left behind. There was alteast 2 seperate camps that left a nice pile of garbage behind. This time we'll let everyone know who left the garbage behide so they can get harassed by everyone who keep a clean camp.

 

"The Mile" and the "green grassys" area at the Shamokin end of the strippins is now heavily patroled. Former pennsylvania senator Ed Helfrick bought a shitload of land surrounding the Mile and he and his goons are being assholes and arresting riders who cross into his land . His land that we've been riding on for 30 years before he bought it . He's leased the land to a coal company that is completly draining "the Mile" to gain access to a big vein of coal at the bottom of the pit. So we lost a shitload of land to ride. This area is a good 4 miles east of last years camp so we don't have to worry about camping too close, its just ashame we lost all that land to ride.

 

I still think where we had camp last year, at the big shovel, is still the ideal place to camp. Ya just gotta love the big strippin' pit right next to camp, or should I say "big DRAG strippin" pit .
