** The next build off 2024 **

[Captain Awesome]

The other deciding factor is what actual classes do we really want?
Classic Big Build off
Muscle Bikes (can have subclasses as well)
Off Road (can have subclasses here too)
Skinny Tire
Step Thru
Unlimited Rat
Freakbikes?
Lowriders?
The list could go on....

On that subject. The analytics don’t lie. We can see that by far the current structure of the classic summer RRBBO is the largest draw. Then it’s very close between some iterations of the MBBO and the ORBO. Most others fall behind which is why we’ve tried other things. Skinny, step thru, etc. Keep it fresh in some aspects

The 2 class RRBBO, MBBO, and ORBO are probably not going anywhere. So how to we organize and structure them into a calendar year along with complimentary or contrasting classes

Classes we can come up with a million suggestions and we as the staff have had many discussions about just that. We have a great list and have even discussed how the rule sets would look for some in anticipation. Just need a format that works and can be successful

I'll always be here flying a RAT flag and trying to sneak a Burrito into the class rules...

We expect nothing less

I could actually see a "Low Low" class (pedal scrapers, lowriders and burritos) running along side a couple classes of Muscle Bikes. I don't think we've ever really hosted a real lowrider event. They very often feature some of the most custom paint out there.

What would a rule set look like for that?

I'd suggest "Full on Rats no rules" (forcing some down and dirty creativity) and STBO for the 2 month build offs.

This is a really cool idea. We should try to do this at least once to see how it goes.

It's still a step thru. Ya just gotta step under instead of over...

Put a tiki torch each side of it and have a limbo party....how low can you go

LOW LOW
How low can you go?
If you don't try, you'll never know.
Droppin' droppin, droppin it low
We got no rules, cuz it's all fo' show.

(to the music Slow and Low by the Beastie Boys)

Really never thought about rules...
No stock frame clearances, pedals must scrape when turning, and custom paint encouraged unless building a burrito where that is discouraged...
