Train Robbers Nat'l Enduro. Bismarck, Ark.

Who is coming. I hear I am on row 15. I see that WAY TOO TALL Rik Smits is on row 16. Rik is a former NBA Center for the Indy Pacers. 7'4". Rik has a spot on the Dutch ISDE team in Finland this year.

UR kidding about Rik, right?

thats pretty cool!! good luck this weekend!!

Have ridden with Rik....good rider....and he loves his Huskys (As well as old Maicos)

I parked next to Rik at 2003 ISDTRR and got to ride some with him that weekend. I had to help him zip tie his wheel bearing in to keep going on Day 1. He's a very determined guy!

Kidding ? No, Not Kidding.

Photos of the trail and new camp ground are posted at the NEPG site now.

I was down there riding the national rails a few weeks ago (a great vacation). You guys are gonna have a REALLY good ime.
Enjoy.

I remember when he played BB and would have never guessed this guy was on a bike riding at this level ... Just another wild&crazy EU guy apparently ...

Rik says he can come if there isn't a conflict with his Son's Basketball games. He really supports the boy. OH, His son is 14 years old and 6'5" ! He is still growing !!! Rik says he hopes he gets to 7' ! Rik rode GNCC last year and I think got 2nd in class for the year.

This years campground will be great. The old campground was a narrow dusty pipe line that honestly sucked. The trails there are technical and great to ride.

It is a long weekend in Canada and Pike season opens. I am taking a pass on Arkansas, but I have pre-entered all the remaining rounds except for WY.

You gonna miss a great event. I love riding this Enduro. Similar to the NATRA (Rad Dad) Enduro in Tenn but better.

But of course ... A Razorback beats a volunteer every time

LOL

I have heard it is a good one, but I am having a hard time driving 18hrs for an enduro when I can ride excellent trails an hr away from home.

I will have to drive further than that several times this year. Pa. Nat'l., Mi. Nat'l (Jackpine), and the AHRMA 2 Day Vintage Qualifier , Rose City , Mi. . I will just say that you will regret missing a great ride.

I'd love to go. I had a blast at Rad Dad (but I was on row 7). Who knows, I may end up bumming a ride and show up....if it isn't sold out. SETRA season just ended and I'm kinda beat after doing 21 of 24 races so a weekend at the lake would be nice too.

For anyone didn't follow basketball in the 90's, Rik wasn't just an NBA player, he was the best of the best. He was an All Star at least once and he played in the NBA finals along side Reggie Miller. He was a great team player, did his role very well. I've seen him at a few GNCC's and I believe he was on a KTM 525 which he made look tiny. And people give me a hard time about me making a bike look small!!

wont make it. Broke hand this wkend. Caught fingers on a limb and folded them back, shattering 2 metacarples on lft hand. Damnit
