The Super Sessions are back. This has been Atomlab founder Mike Flaherty's project for the last several years and has turned into one of the best late season gatherings around. Pro riders and top media from around the world congregate in the middle of nowhere (Tehachapi, California to be exact) and ride Woodward West for a long weekend. This is easily one of the most enjoyable and exciting jam sessions to attend. In the days and weeks following the jam all the MTB websites are flooded with photos and videos from the event; and once January and February roll around tons of Super Session coverage emerges in the print magazines. If you're a rider or member of the media don't sleep on this. Details below:
SUPERSESSION 2008
Friday Nov 21 thru Sunday Nov 23 - 3 days - 2 nights at Woodward West. Please note that there will also be a Thrashbike Jam in San Diego on Wednesday Nov 19th and Thursday Nov 20th. See the very bottom for
details on the Thrashbike San Diego Jam.
BIG PARTY!
On Saturday we are having a big dinner and party at one patio banquet areas at the Lodge at the top of the hill. Dinner and drinks will be included and possibly a video premiere. It should be a blast and you won't need to drive anywhere. We are also doing the pizza and beer night at the local pizza place on Friday.
$150 ENTRY FEE
The entry fee includes food, drinks, etc. for the entire 3 days. That includes a big party at a banquet hall at the top of Woodward West, a party at a local pizza place, breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and water and redbull all day.
CABINS
If you wish to stay in the cabins, it will be $37.50 per night ($75 for Friday & Saturday). The cabins are like a camp dorm with bunk beds with 15 people per cabin. It's a lot of fun and a good bonding experience. You will need to bring a sleeping bag and pillow if you are staying in the cabins.
THE LODGE
Hotel rooms are available at the lodge for $100 per night (per room, not per person). E-mail mike@atomlab.com to get the proper forms. Check out campwoodward.com for more info and directions.
REMEMBER
Don't forget your helmet, some warm clothes (it can get cold at Woodward), extra tubes, a few tools, and maybe a digital camera
