Beat the Creek 2025 - Thread in Southeast/Kentucky
- Thread starter Sherman
- Start date
lolconsidering the distance to go play. everything. lool Not really. but planning to go down Thursday or Early Friday am to get past Detroit by 7am. get a hotel or might shack up with another local going down with his camper/trailer. Just gonna be me and the toys. May just ride with him and 1/2 expenses, though I HATE being without a vehicle. ESPECIALLY out of state. lol So I'll consider that as we draw near.
Still not 100% I'll make it, though we are looking like work will be pretty low key atm.
I'll probably bring a bit. maybe see if I can sell some of the rigs I don't use there.
Thinking of bringing one of the bikes. maybe both. and the Origin if it shows and I get it built up. Building will go fairly quick. got most all the stuff to get it mobile here. Just need to get a few scale items to add to the mix but once it arrives, I can have it driving in a day or two at most. But hoping it gets here a bit earlier so I can do a live build series on the youboob. Make each section into its own live vid. Then start a new vid in the series on the next part of the build, even if they're done back to back with no other break than to stop and restart a new vid. We'll see.
I'll also have the H10 Optic. Maybe my Bastard Sr bild to play with.

I am way too excited about this event. I've already started packing, despite the fact I'm still tweaking the trucks I'm taking. I just put a new Hobbywing Fusion SE into the Zuul and can't wait to see how it performs. Hoping to get some trial runs these next few weekends to make sure they're both running well.
Outside of that, I've just been researching this event like crazy so I'm prepare for what I need to bring. I'm excited meeting other people who are into the hobby, checking out all the vendors, and most of all having fun out on the trails.

I'm Debbie downering for now.... still time but as the clock ticks on it seems more likely i'm out.... rigs are all good, better than ever.
Just... stuff... right now. Not sure how to say, certainly not an excuse as he'd tell me GO!!! and HAVE FUN!!!!! But, my dad passed on Tuesday. Quite frankly, I hadn't spoken to or seen him in some years, I guess nearly a decade as I count back. I didn't say goodbye, and that's tough stuff. Affected me more than I guess I thought it would. Always told him I loved him very much, just that I needed the space; because, well, I just did.
I guess more than anything its the terrain + drive. Plenty of big creeks around here too.
Life sucks sometimes. I have 19 days ish to flip it all around and get in a better state of mind and KEEP GOING!!!
Either way - super glad to see peops excited and raring to go! If anything gets me there its you guys, and my Pops --- who worked TIRESLESSLY on real cars and trucks all his life, TIRELESSLY. COUNTLESS HOURS, some days 16+ a day I might not even see him before bed, it was tough, just sayin'. Heck, what am I saying, MANY DAYS were 16+. Just too many. And he was already long gone in the dark hours of the morning by the time I was on way to school. Same I guess for so many of us X'ers, parent(s) were passing strangers in the night.
He worked hard and got a kick in the ass for his troubles. Welcome to Earth. I have other plans for this place, just sayin'
Sorry for the random vent and sapper of spirits!!

Hey man, no apology necessary! I'm really sorry to hear of your dad's passing. He sounds like a really cool guy who supports your endeavors. I totally get it if you aren't able to make it, no commitment needed here! There's always next year as I hope I don't only ever go to this once!Sorry for the random vent and sapper of spirits!!

Venting and sharing is pretty necessary throughout the grieving process. And I've found that the estranged relationships... the ones where unresolved issues were an underlying component, can actually be harder to process than the solid relationships that we've had with others. I know this first hand as does my wife.
I hope that you're able to find solace in whatever ways you deem therapeutic. Leaning hard upon other family members, friends, and supporters can go a long way in helping to digest these kinds of unfortunate events.
And although I don't much care what others on the internet do or don't... I do hope that you'll reconsider making it to Beat the Creek '25. I'm sure that you're aware, but some of the most enjoyable, most liberating, and most healing things that I've made the decision to do... have started with a heavy heart or a gut-punch. Something tells me that if you forge ahead, you're going to be very glad that you did. Remember.. most of our regrets come from the times that we allowed ourselves to isolate or sit it out.
Take care of yourself and condolences for your loss.

Beat The Creek is my favorite event of the year. Sadly I won’t be making the trip this year.
Be prepared for the best tiny trucking adventure you and your rigs have ever seen! 3-4 days of nonstop trailing on some the best trails I’ve been on.
Each year BTC sets a new record for attendance, so get there early to get your spot picked out. Great people and great vendors all around.
Can’t wait to see all the pics and vids this year.

Bummer! I was looking forward to meeting you! Next year for sure. Ever since I had joined this forum and recognized your little mini Ohio plates it was nice knowing there were a few other Ohioans here.
