I lucked out and will be up here working (Monroeville, PA) about an hour or so west of Windber! I'm from coastal North Carolina.
I may even get off work on Saturday and drive to Windber, since it's even closer (Blairsville, PA). If not, Sunday FOR SURE!
This will be my second year attending. First year was a few years back and I was only at Windber for a couple of hours. I was lucky enough to have met Jeff, and he showed me around his shop. Insane amount of parts and some really cool vehicles. I bought a Rupp scrambler roller off him, and a chain guard.
That whole experience opened my eyes to how wonderful the whole event and the people attending is. People cruising around his property having a BLAST! Awesome swap meet! GREAT VIBE!
It was so surreal to me. It was like going to a big music festival parking lot, but mini bikes everywhere instead.
To ANYONE thinking about going, MAKE-IT-HAPPEN!. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!
PS.
Is there going to be a mini bike parade again? I was lucky enough to have witnessed that as well.
