If you plan on taking pics be sure to scope out the illume site...there are minimum camera requirements!

the link isn't working for me. Is it correct?

**Edit**
I googled it and this is the link that works for me
http://www.redbullillume.com/

[Thewavebb]

Here are the requirements.....

Images shot on film or digitally will be accepted. All film prints and transparencies must be drum scanned at high resolution and delivered digitally. No prints will be accepted.

On line submission format: jpg
Minimum picture size : 8 mega pixels
Maximum file size : 5 mega byte
All digital images must be shot with a minimum 8 mega pixel camera
All images must be available for re-submitting in their original size. All finalists will be requiored to re-submit images in Tiff at 300dpi


Sucks to be a Nikon guy...Most of Nikon DSLR's are 6.1mp. I would have thought that redbull would have taken that into consideration.

[DM_rider]

8.1mp's.... So that rules out all the D50 and D70 users...

[Buck]

link fixed...

I'm getting the low down on cams, I don't know much about them. So I have sent off an e-mail to the right people to find out what is up.

Thanks

[berrywise]

Rip the meta information out of your image files, upsize the size of the photo in photoshop and submit it ;).

That kinda sucks for anyone who doesn't have an 8 meg camera. I've seen blow-ups from 6 meg and 8 meg cameras and I can't tell ya the difference. I would imagine they are trying to cut back on anyone who is shooting with a point and shoot camera primarily to speed up their workflow.

[wanderingrobots]

to bad i have to take the act test that weekend otherwise i would be all over this! good luck on it buck!

[Buck]

Right on guys.

Some companies are stepping up to the plate to support the event.

Red Bull Energy Drink and Xtreme Bikes in Northfield will be helpin' out with various things. Kudos to them!!! :cool:

[Bikerkid]

I think I'm going to try and make it up there, and I'm going to try and bring a crew of BMXers, and freeriders. This is going to be crazy, so I guess it's time to go practice so everybody can throw down for those photo guys!!!

[DM_rider]

I'm sure they will take any shots from a DSLR cam.

Any good huck spots in mind that have nice backdrops?

Couple urban spots that will work great...lake for the back drop on the whole mtn!!! Trials guys are in an awesome river bed for most of their stuff...park is kind of lame for back drops, but they can throw down pretttttty damn big at the park!

Photogs can enter 3 photos in each cat. so that equals 30 photos you can enter!!!!

If you have any camera requirement issues let me know...I worked a sweet deal with Red Bull...I'll have a few camera kits and my disposal! :cool:

My camera is an 8.2 megapixel so I just make the grade. I was thinking about renting a true wide angle lens though for the weekend.

[cacocker]

so its getting close, eh? weve got the dates. are there any specific times or locations? such as shuttles start at 9am at spirit lodge, or shooting starts at noon at the skatepark?

[manual63]

If I am not busy with something else, I might come up to ride one of the days. Not to into the contest thing, but some good thrash would be fun....:)

I know that. But I just would want to ride wherever, photographers or not. I might try to make it for some riding one of the days. I guess it depends on what else is going on that weekend. Sounds like a lot of fun will be had.

[ststvn9]

Hello,

I was hoping that someone might be able to offer suggestions as to locations to freeride around the twincitities. My brother is coming into town and was recently at the freeride park in ocala florida. It is my understanding that Minnesota doesn't have anything quite like that place, but any suggestions would be great.

Yes on the camping. We will sit, drink and be merry. Wood will be great, but not morning!!!!!!!!!! Greg has to work, so we will leave around 4:30 or so. He will try to get out earlier, so I hope. Oh the joys of having no job, I can leave anytime. See ya up there Scott.

[Buck]

Fire wood...we should have it on lock down...Dave from St. Cloud said he is bringing a truck full.

Troy: Camping, I'll have a Red Bull tent up in the campsites. You'll be able to see it, along with some maxxis tape hanging off each campsite I have reserved for us.

Biking, camping and photography all in one. You can't beat it.:banana:

Depending on how things go at work I might get up there as early as 3 or as early as 7 p.m. I think. I figure to drop in and hang out at my bro's and maybe get a brew and burger at Fitger's when I get up there or if people are going to be over in Superior maybe swing over there.

I figure to bring up an assortment of beers, including some homebrew. Should just pack up my kegging system and have that up there :) I am going to be just taking photos and am thinking I might just use my brother's singlespeed to get around. Though I might have to hop on someone else's bike and hit some runs if anyone would let me :etard:

I'm bringing my own gear. I tried to rent a 10-22 from West Photo weeks ago but the one they have had already been booked. So I'll be shooting with my 70-200 and my 17-35. All my compact flash cards, my flash, prolly my off camera flash cord, a polarizing filter, and beer.

Buck said that the kits have tripods so I'm sure there will be plenty of tripods around so I don't plan on brining anything like that along.

[Buck]

errr,

guys with gear I recommend that you bring it. It'd be the best bet that you get gear. I don't actually know till Thursday how many tripods come with the kits. I do know that I have 10 D200 bodies w/ 5 wide and 5 telephoto lenses, 10 laptops, then after that the list I got was a little incomplete...

Glad to see so much interest!!! I'll be up mid day on Friday I have stuff here in town I have to wrap up before I can bail. Like picking up the two 15 passenger vans we'll have!!! werd $$$? :cool: You'll know what camp spots are ours, I'll have the Red Bull tent set up in that area!

Thanks!

Rain won't affect street riding too much but the downhill and skatepark may be sketchy. Either way, Duluth is on a hill so there are probably more drops and gaps in downtown Duluth than Spirit Mountain anyway.

[Buck]

The trails on Spirit shed water well, My guess it we'll be able to ride them even wtih some rain on Friday! The joy of super rocky trails is they are rideable even when wet!

Yes there are also some good hits in town!

Oh my then there is the sk8 park...

What a weekend this shall prove to be!!!!

Thanks

So what all do we need to do to reserve a campsite? Is it just first come, first serve? Is there anything I need to do or register before friday, or just show up?

Looks like it's going to be an awesome time!

I'm not sure what was worked out but I believe we are going to leg or arm wrestle for the camp spots.

There will be a treadmill and excersize bike that will be hooked up to a generator that we will be using to charge batteries and run laptops.

On a more serious note what ya'll doing for food for the weekend?

[Thewavebb]

i'm packing some various junk/snack food type stuff for grazing on. I'm not sure what i'll be doing for lunch and supper on saturday. I may be lazy and just get a meal someplace. Grilling could be in order too.

Yeah that was what I was thinking. I think Saturday night there is the viewing party at Pizza Luce so I would think a lot of people would eat there. I figure just to grab some granola bars for snacking and maybe bring up my stove for making up some breakfast for anyone that is interested.

[Thewavebb]

i'm bringing my two burner stove and big frying pans for breakfast food as well. I'm thinking some pancakes, sausage links and maybe some eggs would be mighty tasty.

[Buck]

Werd guys,
Ben I've got one site with power. so mark your stuff and that is where I'll be saving spots for photogs to camp so they are close to the power outlets.

Food, Saturday dinner is on me at the after party.'

I'll be up there around 1pm tomorrow so hit the cell if ya need help with anything!


Thanks!

Report from the Field.

Couldn't ask for better day! light clouds, cool, with riders arriving at 2pm and hitting Downtown for a quick ride, the numbers quickly grew to 30-35 riders, followed by a showing of the best new videos with the guys cheering on their favorite riders while drinking their brew of choice, illuminated by the three campfires that were going the good times rolled till late night!!!

Hope to see more tomorrow, as the real mayhem begins at 9:00 am and ends around 11:00pm at Pizza Luce for the photo viewing!

Thanks!

Buck, thanks for a great weekend of riding, you did a hell of a job. I can't remember the last time I had so much fun riding.

I feel for the people that could'nt make it.

Twas an excellent weekend and I think everyone had a great time. I'm gonna start a seperate thread for anyone who wants to post up pictures from the event.

[Buck]

What up guys?

Just wanted to thank all the photogs and athletes that came out and made it a great weekend!!! Thanks for cleaning up the campsites before ya all bailed, and sorry I didn't make it out to see ya off.

Also want to say that I think this event definitly set the bench mark for this kind of event! I haven't ever seen anything like it(We were the first!), there was an incredible amount of progression going on from the athletes! So kudos to you guys!(Dustin, Brad, and trials Pete seem to stick out in my mind) It was fun watching you guys pin stuff!!!! I know for a fact that Scott has atleast one photo that would kill it in the Red Bull Illume contest so you better submit that log ride photo...blew my mind!!!! And the other photos being shown at Pizza Luce during the photo showing were all top notch, I think MN will have atleast one photog on their way to the grand opening of the tour!(So enter that **** so I can go with!!!)

Big thanks also goes out to Jerry Olson for being a great photog instructor for the weekend and being so excited to shoot the best sport there is! Thanks Jerry!!!!

Also thanks to our major sponsor(s) Red Bull Energy Drink, Maxxis Tires, Utopia Optics, Xtreme Bikes, Transition Bikes, Pioneer Cycle, and Buck House Productions!

Anyway lets see some pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks again for the awesome weekend!!! :cool:

First off, THANK YOU Red Bull. Next in line, THANK YOU Buck and all other's involved with this event. Once again Buck, you never stop amazing me! What can I say about this past weekend to sum it all up. It was great seeing and meeting friends of old and new. Thank's to all the photog's and the great pic's. For the one's that missed it, you all missed one h^ll of a shin-dig. Hope this is just the start of something we can do again. Again, thank you to all that were involved.:D :)

[unicycle6869]

Hello ya'll,
I just registered for this forum so this is my first post! I was at the Red Bull event and also wanted to thank Red Bull, Adam Buck and everyone else who helped make it possible. I had a ton of fun and am glad we were invited so thanks.

If you can't tell by my username or aviator, I was the tall guy riding on one of those one-wheeled bikes we like to call a unicycle. I've never really rode or hung out with bikers before so I didn't know what to expect. But everyone made us feel welcome and I met a lot of cool people over the weekend so thanks. I hope to see some of you again in the near future.

I have a couple good photos I'll post when I get them up.

[Thewavebb]
