MOVIE NIGHT and SPECIALIZED DEMO DAYS at Epic Bike and Sport

MOVIE NIGHT and SPECIALIZED DEMO DAYS at Epic Bike and Sport

Postby Michael Gier on Wed Apr 02, 2008 12:46 am

THIS SATURDAY, April 5th

EarthRiders MOVIE NIGHT and SPECIALIZED DEMO DAYS at Epic Bike and Sport.

Epic Bike & Sport is having DEMO DAYS with Specialized April 3-6. The Specialized trailer will be there with all kinds of bikes to try out, and folks there to answer any questions. Epic is hosting a special event for the EarthRiders on Saturday night. The Demo event will be available until 6 p.m. After that, the shop is ours to meet, mingle, and have a good time. We'll bring a few snacks, and you're welcome to bring your own beverage. Around 7 p.m., we'll raise the curtain and present one of two MOVIES for your viewing pleasure: If the disc is pressed and shipped by then, we'll show the brand-new "Seasons" by The Collective (they tell us it's shipping this week). Otherwise, we'll show Klunkerz, a doc on the early days of mountain biking (Mike Sinyard, Gary Fisher, Mt. Tam, etc.). And don't worry if you're a KU fan (or even a KU hater), we'll have the game on. I wouldn't miss a minute -- of either show! Bring a chair. I'm planning to get there about 4 p.m. to try out some new Specialized bikes.

The details: Epic Bike and Sport is located in the Tuileries Plaza on NW 64th Street, a few blocks West of I-29. Take I-29 to 64th Street West, go past McDonald's and Hen House, and look for the vertical flags on the South side of the street. Or just look here: map

Or you can call Epic anytime at (816) 382-3100. THANK YOU to Scott and Epic for sponsoring this event!

We'd like to have some idea how many to expect, so if you're hoping to come to movie night, either say "yeah!" here or send me a PM. Thanks.

Was "An Inconvenient Truth" not available at the library or something. I'm sure Pink would loan us his copy.

I'm going to be there to demo some bikes too, but I'm not sure how long I'll be able to stay for movie night. Probably at least long enough to check out the snacks.

Looks like we're gonna have two days of sunshine before saturday, so trails should be nice and dry. Anybody up for a ride at smithville before the movies begin? I'm thinking something like ride 3:30 - 5:30, that leaves plenty of time to get to epic at 6 for the festivities.

Don't forget, the demo trailer closes up at 6 pm. If you want to try out the bikes (and there's a great area right outside the door to really put them through their paces), you need to be there before 6 pm.

What time will the demo trailer get there? We're probably going to come up and test ride a few bikes but we won't be staying for the movie.

Anyone else who's coming, please gimme a holler. Just want to make sure there's enough fois gras. Thanks.

Oh, and the Demo trailer should be there now! It's scheduled to be at the shop from the 3rd through the 6th (IIRC) and probably open for all of Saturday. You can check with the shop to be sure, if you want, at (816) 382-3100.

The shop guys tell me the demo is going great. We'll be playing Klunkerz as our movie selection, and we'll have the game on for die-hard fans (like me). See you tonight!

Don't forget: bring a chair and your own beverage of choice.

Thanks to Epic and the Specialized guys!!! My wife rode a new Safire (women's specific Stumpy) and I had a blast on an S-Works Enduro SL.

We didn't just drink the kool-aid...we swam in a pool of it. Those two bikes are definitely in our immediate future!!!

Thanks again!! Hope you all enjoy the movie....ROCK CHALK!!!!

Thanks for reminding me, Billy. I need to purchase a personal copy for my library. That movie was awesome.
