EXTRA! EXTRA! Slab City Riot 3 Cancelled!!

Here is the scoop straight from Biltwell, if you were on your way make plans accordingly!

During yesterday's pre-run of the Slab City venue, city officials in the area strongly advised cancelling the event. Failure to do so, we were told, might result in significant headaches from local law enforcement. To avoid such grief, Slab City Riot 3 is cancelled.

Our sincerest apologizes to the riders, sponsors and volunteers who have invested so much time and treasure leading up to this event.

The Wuss Ride is still pulling out of Temecula, CA, at 11:00 am Friday, and will end at a new undisclosed location for desert riding and camping.

If you want to go riding and camping with friends, please visit the Wuss Ride blog for more information.

Be forewarned: What the Wusses are doing Friday is NOT an official ANYTHING. This means bring your own food, bring your own booze, bring your own everything.

Again, we're sorry. Thanks for your understanding.

The Slab City Riot 2

Slab City Riot 2 put on by the fine folks at Biltwell, Inc. and ChopCult was a huge success, with a turnout of around 1,500 people! We couldn't make it out this year (we did last year, though Kyle broke his jaw and foot on the ride out so he didn't have as much fun as I did!) but it looks like it is an event not to miss in 2011 for sure. The video above is by Rob Rouser, check it out.

Slab City Riot 2 - November 6th, 2010

The ChopCult crew just announced Slab City Riot 2 is going on again this November! If you missed it last year do your best to make it. You can't go wrong with an amazing ride through the mountains and desert of southern California, and the totally weird party that happens at Slab City.
