We had a great time doing the demos! The crowds really got into it and
it's fun to try and pump up the crowd. I think Darren's estimate of 1000
people per show is a little conservative.
Our demos were approximately 20 minutes in length and we had 7 riders. A
couple shows we did went up to 25 mins and a couple were only 16-17min.
Any more than 25 minutes and I think the crowd starts to lose
interest.
The biggest drop we had was 7.5 feet, Dan and Ryan both did it, but Ryan
actually destroyed his wheel doing a smaller 6 foot drop over the
barricade and into the crowd (with the crowd moved aside of course).
Apparently the audience liked that so much some guy came up to Ryan and
gave him $50 to help pay for a new wheel. That was pretty amazing.
We only let theDan announce a few of the shows. 😉 There is only so much
laughing we riders can take without totally messing up all the time.
