22 June 2008 - Amsterdam (FBI HQ)- Last year the discussion about a Bicycle Build Off during the FBI came to an end with the intention to do something...the discussion started again on Chopperbicycle.net, shame it's dead due to spammers and lack of interest by administrator(s)...and so there will be a FBI BBO, "Le Klomp d'Or".
Wednesday till Friday three teams will have to build a single speed bicycle and as big final take part in the Chopper Olympics Heptathlon Friday evening. The theme of this BBO is Dutch functionality and games, short for the bikes will have to transport various objects during a competion in seven small competions.
Teams taking part: Netherlands, teamcaptain Basman 33, Canada, teamcaptain Brain and Spain with capo Make.
Of course the looks of the bike are important so the first stage is election of best bike of this build off, the teams can score major points with this leg. Warming up...the contestants will during the second stage of the games as they will have to drop some Jenever before going to the finish line. Only drinking ain't fun so the the 3rd event will be the FBI variation of the classic dutch game: koekhappen. Now that the teams are powered up it's time to start moving stuff, but first some pick up's...stage 4: Jousting event, get the buckets needed in stage 6; The water bucket race. Stage 5 will be an egg race, no egg no glory. The final of the COH will see the teams doing their final transport and bringing back the troops, one rider has to carry/bring on the bike the other two members to the end zone, one at the time....
