2013 Buckethead Barefoot Race

This is just a teaser for the race. It will be held on August 24th.

Buckethead Promo

After the race, and before the apre's foot at the sand bar, we have a little fun behind the boats.

I'm pretty certain that Burning Soles will beat Off Constantly. I'm figuring most teams will. I think there's an all girls team that has a chance to.

Gearing up for Saturday. My problem is I may not be able to foot in the race. The leg is still not right after pulling a hammy and twisting up the bad knee doing a two ski bomb-out (that's a Grave Jump for Jbear). They are expecting (7) Barefoot Nautiques, (8) if I bring the '85. They have a photographer who may set up a photo shoot with the BFN's for promo. There is a Fun Race on Sunday for anyone who wants a intro to racing.
Who's going?
I know N3 will be bringing the Wolfpack boat.

Haha get it done Steve!! I want to foot bad but I wasn't dialed in enough at the beginning of the season for anyone to want me on their team.

I have to drive up alone if I come and I can't justify the expense when I am not racing and not bringing my boat. Next year I hope to get on a team or put another team together.

Bfn List as follows.
Your 90
Vince's 90
Mark's 91
Teddy's 89
Morgan's 89

I know the 86 reverse gel that had been for sale for ever found its way up to the Maumee and will be there. (don't know if it is racing?)

I would probably be good for 4-5 miles? I only need to foot at like 38 mph so that saves my feet.

Our river run is like 1.2 miles and I have done that 6 times back to back turning around.

I am pretty money on the deep water starts now. I think I have only botched one out of the last 30 maybe?

Hmmm, Send me an email Steve. I am going to lunch then I will be back.

Didn't get it, Just count me out for this year I guess. I don't have anyone to ride with. Plus my buddy will be super pissed at me if I run it without him haha.

But like I said, Buyers are traveling at you tonight haha.

The Buckethead went well. Sorry I have no photos, but I know there will be some posted soon. Steve (sorry, I forgot your handle on CCFan) took a few. We took 7th out of 14 teams (1 hour, 17 minutes). Not bad considering we only had 4 footers after I couldn't foot. I tried, but made it about 1/2 mile before my knee said no way. Our other team, Off Constantly, took 9th. We are very proud of them. That is the first time in three tries that they finished. They actually were ahead of us at the turn boat (half way, 19 miles). We passed them heading the back, and beat Off Constantly by about 10 minutes. The new BFN ran great. With 4 in the boat, and one on the handle, we ran 43 and could have run almost 50.
There were 6 BFN's. After the Sunday/Funday race yesterday, we did a photo shoot with 5 of them. As soon as I see those posted, I will post here.
N3 Boatworks stepped up huge as a sponsor. Mark should be posting some photos that he took.

You need to make plans to be there next year.

Lots of really cool pics on Facebook! I don't know the guy so I didn't rob the pictures.

Makes a guy want to get serious about footing.

This is a photo of us getting ready. Kind of cool with the sun rising and the fog.

That blue bfn looks familiar, how's she doing?

Sorry, I missed one.
The second to last pic is of Tim Cochrane's team, pulled by his sweet Ski Nautique. Not sure of the year.

Thanks Steve, you'll have your picture in the morning. Sorry they are at work.

I'd submit that one for the calendar if I were you.    

Or maybe we should have a BFN calendar!
