I guess that this would be on the serious note side, so I decided to post this here. Our daughter and also FF member, live2ride aka Kristy Martin, has entered the Miss Extreme contest.. I am asking in her behalf, to go to either SnowWest or the below link and read her post and the others. See who you think would be the most qualified for the position she is running for. In hopes you would vote for her, Kristy, Mtn Topper and I would say thank you.. She is a very serious but yet fun person to have around when riding. And has been at it since she was 5 years old, thanks to her Dad.. hehe..

Well went to the site and your daughter went from about an inch from "behind" to in front of the other gal... Had to reset my stupid screen about two dozen times because it was fuzzy.... But finely got a clear picture...:thumb:

Seems like some of the other contests are having friends with the same computer problems....

Top five essays, as scored by a panel of judges, will go on to on-line voting. A combination of the both the highest judge score and on-line voting will determine the winner.

I understand all about getting "big air", no need for a poster.

What I don't understand is how someone can be "crowned" of a "sport" by a written essay and popular vote.

Take all the girls and guys who are running in "Mr. and Mrs. extreme" and have them all compete head to head. Rating based on points on however that "governing body" determines, and who has the most points is the "king".

EDIT: Thinking about it, guess a marketing tool.

Really easy way to see how many votes scroll to extreme right on page and highlight the ribbons (it is hard to see black on black) they will magicaly appear!!!!:thumb:

Well here are a few to hopefully answer your question. First it is a contest yes, which they make the rules, which are.......50 % consists of the written part (why you or I think I would qualify for miss extreme, to represent the women in the sport), kinda like school, next is 50% on line voting (thus is obviously by who is or has the most fans showing support). The reason for the contest is to get more women interested in the sport. The judges for the written part consist of another producer of a extreme snowmobile film (Jim Phelan Team Thunderstruck), the previous years winner (Amber Holt), the producer of tahoe films(Thomas Opre), and then riders for the film. Basically once the winner is picked, they get stuff from manufactures and a spot in the film which is where we are trying to get more women involved showing them that they can ride and they can hang with the boys!!!

Thank you all for your support!! Like I have stated, snowmobiling is a great passion for me, and I tell you I am not sure what I would do if I did not have it in my life.... ;)
 
Here is a pic of her when she was test riding in McCall, ID:

Kris:
"In 2003 I was chosen to ride with MaximumSled.com to test ride the 2004 snowmobiles in McCall Idaho snowmobile shootout."

Thank you for the explination, makes more sense per the contest.

I know nothing about the snowmobile industry, but can I assume that they don't have classification "ratings" per skills such as novice, intermediate and pro per their "sport"?
 
Looks like they got their unique IP thing fixed. So now we need people with multiple machines with static IPs. Anyone out there running a bunch of machines with static IPs?

Those who have not voted PLEASE VOTE!!!!!!!!!!
 
Looks like the direct URL doesn't work anymore. You have to submit the form. And they may now have some IP filtering.

At least the voting will be fairer now.

;)
 
Well said PB. One should win on their qualifications and abilities rather than how many times they can push the "revote" button.. We brought our kids up to win fair. They won several youth snowmobile races through out the years from hard work and knowledge of sleds. While one was racing, one was helping replace ice studs and reclutch their sled. It was an awesome time.

Kristy is ahead, but it's close. I posted a request on NTT asking for more votes.
Hope it helps and Kristy wins!!!!! :thumb:

Thanks Doc, Mtn Topper decided to get in on the action too, check out snow west on their individual forums for the surrounding states. hehe.. I keep telling him I was going to do a write-in vote for President..hehe..:yum: And Jim don't worry about it I thought it was done too..hehe:yum:
 
WOW, for a site that I don't frequent much, just keep an eye on my parents, as they do for me on Snowest, I am so thankful for the support. They did fix the voting system as you can now only vote 1x which is the way it should have been......as you can see thanks to a great bunch of snocat'ers I am still in the running!!! Please get the word out and help a sista out, so I can keep people interested in snow sports, cuz as you know.....my dad does have a cat or 2..hehe. My son shows the exact same interest as he does!!! Lets keep our areas open so we can show the future generations the fun that can be had on the snow!!!! Thanks for your support!!!

It appears that you can vote once each day since they fixed the IP issues of resetting...

OR... maybe there was a vote fixing in place and only one of the constestants was in on the deal, until somebody else found out too....

Did you ever think that "Revote" was part of the voting system, to see how computer literate her friends and she is? Looks like she is pretty smart to me!!!

Besides, it was Mayor Daily that said "Vote Democrat and vote often"

And here I was a stupid Republican and losing at the voting booth because I didn't know the rules....

:yum:

But if you would like to continue to be a d!ck about my comment, you just lost a couple future dvd sales... end quote

knight...yes, I heard on the first day some folks were able to vote more than once, but our web folks dealt with it. still we've been averaging a high number of individual IP addresses, on our website, each day since we started on-line voting. Nobody is trying to be cool. We are attempting to draw more interest to our sport (especially for woman riders). We are seeing web traffic coming from all over including sled sites to motorcycle to hunting/firearms sites. Based on the the current two top Miss Extreme scores I know, since I can see web referrers, they both have put the word out and a ton of folks from a lot of places other than SW are voting.

This is supposed to be a positive experience. If you have concerns or just want to vent please PM or email me. Be happy to discuss.
