Dedicated "Rigs of Blazer Bash" calendar?

Someone needs to lead the charge to get all of the ladies interested.

I’d do it next year as I will be back into competitive fitness and MA and thus will have the body for it. This year I have physical/medical limitations in the way.

Not even sure I’d clearly show my face as I’m still in law enforcement...but I can keep folks distracted with other things instead :)

Just revisiting this to remind everyone to take a ton of pics so the 2018 Rigs of BB can become a reality..........We'd also like to feature a couple of Moab pics in the annual Rigs calendar as well so don't hesitate to get those phones or cameras out.

I have a ton of photos and videos on my phone. I’d be happy to send it all. Might be easier to load it all on a flash drive and mail it but I’ll do whatever makes it easiest for you.
 
A flash drive would work for sure. When you say "a ton", how much are we talking? And what's the average size in MB of the pic files?
 
So.............what's the best strategy to take to get this calendar to print asap? There are TONS of great pics available and only 15 spots on the calendar. I need some feedback because this is a custom job and our intent is to meet the BB's participants needs. Let Kim and I know how to proceed and we can get moving on this right away. :thumb:

Is it possible to harvest the pictures you want to use off the thread?
 
Yes, absolutely, but unlike the Rigs calendar, I'd prefer to see this project driven by the organizers and participants of Blazer Bash. I want to ensure we're accurately capturing the spirit of the event and the only way to do that is to get some sort of direction. If the general consensus is "go for it, Can Can", I'm happy to proceed.......
 
I think the guys that went should submit the pictures they want of other trucks. That seems more like Blazer bash to me
 
@Can Can

How about one of those months be a collage of photos not necessarily truck related? Seem to be a lot of photos from the bbq or at the meet and greet. Maybe a page collecting 8-12 photos?
 
Ive selected a few of my favorites along with why i felt they were important


Truck has been to Moab before, but no dice last year and was mostly stock in 2016. I took it easy on Friday and pushed it a little on Golden Spike

@Justin V made his maiden voyage to Moab this year, bringing his wife and daughter. Everyone makes an effort to get to Moab, and Justin prepped two vehicles by himself

@noJeepshere got volunteered to be a trail leader this year after years of helping @mrk5 and @ktmoutfront with other things in BB. All reports were Riley was awesome. Even scratched his Yukon to put on a good show

@r3dd0g and Amber bring these two goofs every yearF6D41023-BAFB-411C-8B02-C59C0AF010D5.jpeg


@blazinzuk comes almost every year, and people should bribe him with Orange Dew and cookies for the pleasure of having him ride shotgun.

The helmet was a prize for the kids table, hysterically enjoyed by the SLC crew everytime someone came up for a prize, to the enjoyment of all at the BBQ

@Can Can Sadly, I am not a participant but consider including a pic that shows the size of the event. One with a large number of trucks on a trail, etc.
 
Obviously everyone wants to see a picture of their rig front and center of any calendar or poster.

However I think it's important to look at the overall draw and intent of the event, Guys like Justin V get to have their first experience at this kind of event where a wide variety of vehicles are there. I'm driving my full tube Buggy/Race car on the same trails with Justin V, Riley has his sleeper Yukon out on the trail, Brent and Amber have a full bodied S10 that hangs with us Buggies on the trails where body damage isn't as much of a concern, etc and on and on. Super nice paint jobs are mixed into vehicles that keep the Yuppies away. Shots of scenery that have a few mild trucks in the back ground represent BB just as much as the Iconic Golden Crack crossing pictures. Also shots that show the social aspect of the event, the BBQ, everyone watching an obstacle, camp pictures, family, etc. deserve a fair look as well.

Sponsors need to be paid attention too, sticker placement and acknowledgement is important. Each of the sponsors has skin in the game and any added media coverage they get helps to make them money.

I guess the short of it is let's use a variety, each person has a different reason and story but the purpose of these types of things is to help grow the even just as much as it's for the people that were there. All buggy pictures will drive away the guys with 35" tires and their first locker, on the other hand all pictures of super pristine vehicles will keep away those that have an old beater that's been everywhere and does everything and looks the part.

This is the exact model we've always used for the annual Rigs calendar. Over the years we've featured a great variety of vehicles in dozens of different locations and settings. The only difference with this edition is that the general location of all the pics will be the same. I agree, the focus of this edition should be to showcase the diversity of the event and celebrate the gathering of like-minded folks.
