Gee I am surprised nobody asked me if they can catch a ride on my ride while I chase all you boys & girls down the race site. Hmmmmmm? I will take bribes. So long as I am not caught in the handoff of the cashola or beerola by any of the WE bosses! LOL That is a hint Photog and Lethal Weapon! Wink I might be able to accomodate such a request since I know both of yous! Smile Its just a matter of how many races I can drag your sorry butts around with all that gear!

nonsense?  what kind of nonsense?   the beer garden?   you obviously weren't paying attention to where the false creek paddlers were during the taiwanese festival.  Laughing  the best part of paddling is the beer garden afterwards. Cool

Big screen TV!  Now if they would provide a couch and some beer ...

Time to predict .... and the predicto Garbage Can says .... FCRCC Mixed A.  What a surprise!  Not far behind will be FCRCC Mixed B.  Others in the mix:

Gorging
Portland
W3Media
Pacific Reach
Pemberton
Edgewater DWW
Laoyam
FCRCC Masters / Master of Dzone  / He-Man and the Masters of the Universe

and some potential surpriser teams: DCH New York and Jetstart
DCH took COMP B in Alcan 2001.  Maybe they're here to take some Canadian bacon (medals) back to New York.  Jetstart could also be strong depending on who they bring over.

Good luck to all teams!

oh yeah... big screen tv!  no more squinting and running around for race results.

i also noticed racer's village is on the north side this year.  paddlers will have to dodge through some serious crowd to get to the marshalling area.

btw, i'm definitely looking forward to the beer garden.  luke we carried you out last year at calgary... this year it's time for you to return the favour...  Cheers  (unless you get drunk first... in which case i think lethal weapon can lend a "hand".)

Just for that Johnny I can assess a penalty for disrespecting an official, even if it is off water! LOL Of course I am joking on that!

No I think it is a good thing to do, taking some of these fantastic photographers who volunteer their time and post their photos for others to view for either no cost or very low price. Afterall most of them are paddlers too or involved in DB racing in some capacity. Of course this will have to be approved by my superiors but the Festival does have their own "official" photographer so if I do take someone with me it would have to be a freebie. What I am trying to say is that if I do take someone with me they most likely are not allowed to sell any photos they take from being on an official's boat unless they are the official Festival photographer. This of course also depends on if I have room in my boat, which I believe I will during some races anyway.

its always been that way, last year was the exception, but the sacrifice for less distance to the marshalling was a more cramped paddlers village.

uh no, sorry, its not called back half rush... its called FRONT HALF LAG!!!!

hmmm i think i would rather cram with other paddlers (spread the paddling lurve!) than race across the site through heavy crowds and stuffing my ninja elbow in little children's faces that are in my way!
