I just want to say thank you - to all who were at OCBR 2015!!
You were a great crowd - and the appreciation you showed me last
night is very much appreciated.
I also want to thank all the wonderful folks who help me!! and there
is no way to name each one, but the great part is that everyone is
so willing to do anything to help - guiding trails, getting ice, selling tickets,
and even offering up your kids to help... I am very humbled to know that everyone appreciates the event so much and I'm so glad that everyone had a safe time...(especially those who took some rockin and rollin' around)!!!!
All of you are wonderful!! Thank you so much for making the trip - I know some drove several to many hours to attend....and I hope that it was worth it and that you'll join us again in 2016 - the 50th Anniversary!!!!

Most of all I want to say: There is absolutely no way that I make this event happen by myself and I don't want anyone to think that I deserve all the credit - you know how many people you saw that were doing any number of jobs at OCBR - and most of all our Vendors for being the life line that keeps OCBR going.... and you who attend! again I thank you for coming and hope to see you next year!

I was very impressed at how well the whole thing was done. I'm not sure what all I was expecting, but everyone involved seem to be on top of it. Since I'm fairly local, I hope to be a little more involved next year. My thanks to everyone for the warm first time welcome.

Thanks to everyone who helps but also the newcomers. There were several newcomers that made trail guiding fun. It brought back memories of how we all started and it was a joy to teach the basics from airing down tires to how to space yourself on the trails. Sometimes we kind of loose that as we progress with experience. It was fun to see the change in peoples attitude form being nervous and scared to asking what is the next trail ahead.
I strangely find it a little rewarding to watch the first timers take their rig out and find problems that we all encountered as we began this hobby. They soon start asking questions and learn how to prepare and fix the problems which may seem minor to many but are huge for first timers. Then it's the reward we hear when they say they had a great time and look forward to next year. That is what it's all about.

Very well said Don. Most of the guys I take out are past some of the simple things mentioned. However, I still enjoy talking about the mods that it takes to do the harder trails. Seeing the newcomers faces when they are riding with me or you guide them up the harder trails they've never been through.

It wasn't at OCBR but I remember a pre-run where Gordon guided
Alan thru his first 5 and when Alan realized it - I thought he was
going to burst....and Michael too. What a memory!!!
Kinda like my first and only time of trying Little Blue
at Disney....and making it the first time!!!!! It was an
awsome feeling!! So glad that everyone makes newcomers
feel welcomed and encouraged and that adrenalin rush when
they make it thru!!
Y'all are just that *&^% GOOD!!!

Well as usual Me n Wifee had a blast!!!

I broke in the Livingston's right, Jeff exploded his rear axle and his wife was all kinda crazy mad at him, She thought it was over! I said naw, get in lets ride hauled em around for 2 days. THEY ARE HOOKED FOR LIFE!

Only thing I can complain about was it was over way to fast, this year went by like a flash!

Tell me about it, WAY toooo damn fast. Why that is

just means you need to get there earlier;D

play for a couple of days, chill for a couple of days and take in some local sights and then play like 2 year olds cranked up on Mt Dew and candy for a few days and head home just in time to crash and burn on Sunday.:cool:
