THUNDER MOUNTAIN BIKE RALLY - AT THE BLACKTHORN RESORT IN EAST DURHAM NEW YORK

Now for those in the know, I won’t have to say much about this event. For everyone else you should know that the THUNDER MOUNTAIN BIKE RALLY in East Durham New York has become an annual tradition for my friends and me.
This event takes place every September at the Blackthorn Resort in East Durham New York. Normally, this place is like an Irish version of the resort in Dirty Dancing, but one weekend a year it is full of all kinds of pelt wearing, sun bleached and greasy bikers who pound the Budweisers, wrestle in spaghetti, get into knife fights and generally get balls out crazy.
Lets begin.
First off my fiends who let my cousin Larry and I stay with them have a year around trailer at the top of a hill that has a long road running along side of it. I am rather fond of drinking a few crappy beers and hauling ass down it on their 4 year old's tricycle.

Here is yours truly doing warp 9.



Now on to the main attraction. The Bike Rally. Like most rallys there are the games. Such as the slow drive, hot dog eating off the back of the bike, balloon and engine tosses and a few others.

Here is an example of the slow race. Notice the sweet mullet in a pony tail. This guy is FLIRTIN' WITH DISASTER (For all you Molly Hatchett fans)

On to a few pictures of the games themselves.

It's good to see Ringo Star working again.

You can have ketchup or mustard on your hot dog.

Around the Olymian field there are all sorts of attractions. From the ball of steel to the wall of death. Here is a little taste.

This guy didn't win the tattoo contest.

Check out this guy's sweet mini mullet and the AMERICA FUCK YEAH goods that he carved with a cainsaw. Pretty bitchin if I do say so myself. The ball of DOOOOOM

Not only does this guy have a sweet mini-mullet, he makes "art" with chainsaws.
This guy is enjoying the stunt show. Nice.
Now if you wanted to pay $15 you can have a skany biker chick take a picture on your bike. If you want to pay $20, she will pose with your bike topless. This affair was a class act all the way.


Now the Thunder Mountain Bike Rally isn't all crappy Biker Olympics, tattoo contests and skanky girls in front of corndog stands. Oh no, there is so much more. Like decadent amounts of binge drinking and motorcycles driving through the bar.

This guy was awesome. He kept saying "YEAH YEAH YEAH!!"
Yeah indeed.

This is the hydraulic stage where the burnout competition is held. Razorback Fans


Here was an "interesting" attraction. The leather show. SHUDDER

As previously stated, they drove motorcycles through the bar while the band was playing. Nice.

Unfortunatly I didn't get anywhere near the spaghetti wrestling this year, but I promise to make up for it next year.

All in all it was a very good and very low end weekend. My liver is still recovering from the cheap booze, motorcycle fumes, crappy food and all of the Molly Hatchett that was played at 11.

Enjoy some of The Razorbacks.
