Hey guys I know this is a bit early but Jamie and I have been doing some planning for the Westerns this week and I thought Id update you on what were thinking. We are looking at doing a 1 day show on the first or second Saturday of July in Victoria BC. We also came up with a tentative event line up. We have tried to come up with a way to stage the events where there is a chance for separation on every event between all the competitors (ie we are trying not to have 6 zeros on 1 event where if it was tweeked a little bit then you would have maybe 1 or 2 zeroes at most and everybody else can distance themselves on their stronger events).
We are looking at making it a 7 event show so work on your conditioning.
In no particular order
Event 1 Conans Tire Medley
Conans 700 Tires 650, 850, 1000
You take 1/3 lap on the conans then flip the first tire then repeat 2 more times
There is a video of the event on my website www.mattyparkes.com
Event 2 Keg Medley
8 tasks to do with 6 kegs
Throw 2 empty kegs over a 16ft bar
Press 2 Kegs 210 and 230
Carry 2 Kegs 25ft then load them onto a 48 and 42in platform 300lbs and 350lbs
There should be a video of this event on my site as well
Event 3 Yoke
740-800lbs for 80ft unlimited drops
Event 4 Max Log 13
Rising Bar Starting at 210lbs 20lb jumps to 290 then 10lb jumps
4 attempts/ miss and youre out
Event 5 Car DL Max Reps
2 weights just like the Westerns and Saskatoon If you miss the big weight you get a chance at the reduced weight.
Smart Car + 500lbs and Smart Car + 250lbs
Event 6 Farmers Medley
3 pairs of implements carried 50ft each in one straight line
235lb Thick handles (Like brute strength but a little thicker and lower pick up)
305lb 10in Cylinders
335lb Brute Strength Handles
(We can switch this to making the brute strength at 285 and the middle implement but we would like to get a few heavy implements in the show)
Event 6 Atlas Stones
The first 5 stones are to 54 then the last 2 are to 48 and 42
245, 275, 300, 325, 355, 385 and 435
I believe this will be the heaviest stone run in Canada next year.
So what do you guys think?
