[QUOTE="101stpathfinder, post: 1358994, member: 18625"] So this weekend my wife and I attended the IBA's Jax. Dinner. Various riders were being recognized for achievements that they had accomplished. The first "Diamond" Mile Eater award was given out and various other awards. Then an award was issued to a rider for doing a ride that most of us knew about, but figured would not be recognized publicly. 10 BBGs in a row. Now a little history should be shared (And I ask for corrections where I am wrong) Years ago a rider (Forum Admin) set out an accomplished a ride that seemed impossible. He rode 7 BBGs in a row, the ride became known as "Hell Week" The IBA would/did not publicly certify the ride. The reason being most likely that they did not want to create a "One upping competition) that would lead to unsafe attempts at a new ceiling of record. Until recently the highest number was 3 BBGs and the ride was called the "Trifecta" Then about 2 years ago the IBA allowed 4 BBGs on a ride and it was named the "Quattro". Well to make a long story short, we now have a new ceiling and the ride is 10 BBGs and is called the: [SIZE=24px] "DEKA" [/SIZE] WOW !!! … (I see now on the ride list it is listed as the "Deca") [/QUOTE]
