nah, olive oil is not that bad, plus that gives straight edge people an advantage, no matte how many shots they take of olive oil, they wont be drunk, ever.


I think that overly complicated checkpoints are ********.

roadgator

but they might start having greasy diarrhea. id rather be drunk.

vinegar. more than a shot though.

8oz. French's Yellow Mustard.

EDIT: on the original topic, the best alleycat I've raced here was the Halloween one, which was a Misfits theme. Last checkpoint was singing an entire Misfits song with a live band in somebody's basement while wearing a devilock.

I kind of think any checkpoint in which something is drawn or written on somebody's face with permanent marker is always good. I had to go to work and wait tables at brunch the next day after the Misfits alleycat with a mustache and goatee drawn on my face.

I'm straight edge and during the CMWC 05 alleycat I had to take a shot of hot and sour sauce. That was pretty awful.

In one of my races people had to remove and replace a tube from a wheel off a kids bike. Not so amazingly, for the ATL scene at least, probably half had a lot of trouble doing it. The people working the checkpoint had to help a few riders after they struggled for several minutes.

I'm always a fan of making people ride bad roads and back alleys. Make it something that is ridable only at slow speed on a road bike. Short enough that if people run they can make about the same time as someone who rides. People on mtb's would obviously have an advantage.

One race had you write a father's day card and address it to your dad.
Get a can of beer at one of the first checkpoints. Chug it at one of the last when its all shaken up and warm.

I had an idea for a race where at each checkpoint you get a small bag of sand. The earlier you get there, the heavier the bag. Fast riders could end up carrying an extra 25lb by the end of the race.

make people play texas hold 'em for parts off their bike.

Remove an article of clothing at each checkpoint to be donated to salvation arny

Kilgore_Trout

as a straight edge kid, drinking thick, plain, corn syrup sucks, and drinking cooking oil mikes with hot sauce also sucks. why can't i just be forced to drink maple syrup or bbq sauce?!

dustinlikewhat

because you're clearly not a man. grow a mustache and chug a beer.

newnoise

one race i helped put on we got a local cafe to donate espresso shots for one checkpoint.

lines of adderall. make everyone bump adderall. 30mg pills, crush, make four lines, make each person do two lines.

veggiemafia

Yeah, we had a coffeeshop alleycat here in PGH. Good times.

hockeyteeth

You seem to have a lot of experience with that...

How about making straight edge kids eat a couple table spoons of wasabi? That **** is rough.

I heard at some races they get punched in the stomach. At the check point that is.

humancongereel

oooh, snorting wasabi.

and then punching the sXe kids..

Something with legos. Buy a bunch legos in bulk somewhere. Give each person the same piece or pieces at each checkpoint. Have people build the finished piece (something standardized, like a bicycle) at the next to last checkpoint. Have them superglue them at the finish. Make sure not to have nail polish remover there so at least one person would have to go home with legos stuck to their fingers.

I really like the sand idea. It would be necessary to finish on a hill though.

koyman

how 'bout just punches in the stomach in general? i'd work that checkpoint. (i'm pretty much a pansy).
