hey steve-o,

directions and accomodations are listed on our Xtinction.ca website under the tab "Lodging & Directions" theres a good Google map link on there.

hype....I'll just say this....entries are rolling in fast....and the roster includes more horsepower than any other off-road race in Canada, ever.

Just got back from Xtinction. Spent the day watching pro riders ride up and down things I'm sure goats would think twice about. I took alot of pictures but they just don't put the terrain in perspective. Great event!

Mark,

Your photos are totally of the hook! I could not stop looking at them - you have captured the essence of our event to a tee! It takes one heck of a creative person to make pictures tell a story and I feel you have hit it out of the park!

No offense to any others on the forum, we really appreciate the kind words, enthusiam, and photos/videos you have all shared. CGRT is truly passionate about what we do and we are so pumped that we can share such a great experience with you! The post race response has been incredible and really makes it worthwhile in the end.

Cheers,
Moose (aka Shane Cuthbertson)

Ha,ha moose no offense!!! Mark's got'er nailed! It was a great event, my heart was pounding when I heard the bikes coming to the little corner I was at. I have to say fahringer looked awesome on the husaberg, just looked like a sweet combo of bike, rider and style. Hope you guys can rustle up aenough energy to do it again next year.... :thumbsup:

ya thanks to all the guys with cameras...that's been great. Mark obviously has a little more invested into the photog stuff, top notch for sure. But it's great to get to see all of the different camera and angle shots out there. This venue is big for Albertan's mostly because of the spectators and exposure through Throttle entertainment and offroadmotorcycles.ca etc...

Other then the extreme test at Blairemore CEC, this is the ultimate for all of our supporters/fans to come and watch and be apart of the excitement. It pushes me harder when you have people shouting and cheering for ya. It puts a little more energy into the body when you would normally sit on the seat and coast for a bit...so that is great!

Too bad B Pro fell apart on his last lap, but he must have put everything into his first 4 to keep the lead crew in sight.
