Bridge of the Gods

OR - gorge

Friday June 18 to Sunday June 20, 2010

The Bridge of the Gods Kiteboarding Festival. This is the nation’s longest running amateur kiteboarding contest! June 19, 2010 is the main day for this year's event. The photo shoot is scheduled for Friday, the 18th and Sunday is a backup day. Time to start getting in shape and making plans! Having said that there are some changes in the works that I want to share with the community. First up is Event Sponsorship: For many years Slingshot has been heavily involved in sponsoring the event, and while they have done an outstanding job taking care of all of us, and with the difficult economy everyone is struggling with, it is not fair for them to shoulder the majority of the costs for sponsoring the event, advertising, personnel, coordination, insurance, etc... For this year's event Slingshot will not be the headline sponsor as my goal is to solicit more equal participation from each of the big vendors who have a presence in the Gorge. So we are looking for additional sponsors. Please join us and email me (via nwkite.com) if you can be a sponsor. Next, competition format: The last couple of years there have been questions and comments about past winners and sponsored riders competing in the event. Considering that BOTG has always been billed as an Amateur event I'm leaning towards the following format for the event: * Past BOTG Winners (1st Place in any previous BOTG category except Juniors) and Semi-Pro Team Riders (mens & womens)– Judged comp and trophy’s but no cash or gear prizes. (maybe win back entry fee for top 3?) I'd love to see Joe Ruscito, Alex Fox, Reed Brady, Ben Wilson, and all of the other past winners show up for this and put on an awesome show for the crowd. * Amateur Comp: Juniors, Mens, Womens, Masters: open to anyone who hasn't taken 1st place in a previous BOTG category (juniors excepted - they can move up to Mens) - Cash, trophy's, trip, gear * SUP Relay Race open to all, thinking maybe a brand v brand team event for bragging rights * Photo Contest * Video Contest Last (for now), Party/BBQ/Camp out/Band?: The Fairgrounds will host the whole BBQ/Camp out/Band/Party thing Friday and Saturday nights. More info as that develops. That's all the information I have for now but I'm working on more magazine involvement, the food vendors, beer tent, mini-sponsorships, swag and volunteers. I'll post info as it becomes available. If anyone out there has energy and time, and wants to get involved, PM me and I'll get you hooked up. Thanks for reading through all that and I appreciate any constructive criticism or suggestions for helping keep this one of the funnest, most awesome events in the country. Tony Bolstad Keep watching nwkite.com for updates. The web site will be up soon.
