Welcome everyone to the 2016 250r calendar thread!
I'd like to get off to an early start this year in hopes of getting this done in a timely fashion.
I'm going to add more info to this thread about rules/regulations and the what not but I wanted to at least start this so people can start looking for your perfect pic.
Most info will be the same and I'll copy it to here but if you want, read the last years info to get an idea if your anxious.
Please send your (1) picture, UNEDITED, (please do not play with your contrast and what not) Along with basic info (year, frame, engine size, builder/ported by) to me at
Fear250r@me.com
More info to follow.
Thanks
Jesse

If anyone would like to add dates of events that would go along with our community, say, major race events, dunefest or whatever you can think of, please feel free to forward any info you have to me.
As always, the plan is to have calendars to everyone by christmas. To make that happen, we need to get things right going in, so please read everything below.
1. Take a picture of your R or R's. This can be a quad or atc. Anything 250r from 85-89.
- Use your camera's highest resolution. Shoot for at least using a 6 megapixel camera.
- The resolution issue really can't be stressed enough. You can take a low-res image and enlarge it, but you don't gain any resolution in the process, you'll just get a larger, fuzzier image. We need good enough resolution to get good output from which to print.
- Another thing that may be an issue, if you use Outlook, is that it may ask if you want to resize the image when you send it. This is almost always making the image smaller so it will transmit more quickly. If you see this pop-up, then select "keep image original size" from the drop-down.
2. The subject of the picture is your R. It has to be your R that you submit.
- It can be a still pic, racing, hillclimbing, duning, whatever you'd like to use! And honestly, sometimes a great background can make the picture. For example, the cover of last years calendar.
- You don't have to be the photographer, only the owner of said R.
- No photoshopping to change the nature of the shot. This refers to things like you jumping the riverboat like the Kangaroo Kid, there's only one Kangaroo Kid and it ain't you.
- Please don't crop the image. If you want the final image to be cropped, let me know and I'll make sure it gets done in the end. Sometimes we need all the resolution we can get and cropping will reduce the pixel count.
3. Include the following info with your submission.
- Your first name
- Your board name
- Model and year of quad
- Any of specifics you'd like to include
-As far as specifics, I'm mostly shooting for frame and motor work if any. I appreciate the insanely detailed lists I have received in the past, however, all that info won't make it. Just need the basics.
4. Submit your picture by...not quite sure when I'll stop taking pics but I will let everyone know when we're getting close. I'd say around the end of October/early November.
- PLEASE SEND ONLY 1 PICTURE.
-I don't want to pick a picture for you. I, just like everyone else, have a different taste. Pick out a pic that you like the best!!
5. Voting for the 12 main pictures will start shortly after I'm done receiving pics. I will let everyone know when we will start. I usually let that run for a couple weeks.
Please send your submissions to:
Fear250r@me.com
I will confirm receipt of every submission. If you haven't heard from me in a couple days, shoot me an email or ask me over here.
We also need other shots for the extras. Works in progress, engines, details, whatever you'd like to send. These are not voted on and will be used at our discretion.
Orders will be taken from the time of voting until it's ready to go to print. You'll have plenty of time to decide if you want one/more depending on what quads are in it.
Price. I need to check if paper has gone up (what hasn't) but I'm pretty sure I'll be able to keep it at the $15/16 range. The biggest factor is shipping. It seems to never stop going up...
I think that about covers it. Any questions, feel free to ask!

We should pick a tentative date for the Silverlake .ORG roundup. Maybe this year we can have Draper put up a early survey vote for a few weekend dates in late July and all of August. Earlier the better for most I would imagine. Marc might need to chime in when he has his cabin week.
-
I think I remember Marc saying he had it earlier next year. Hopefully he chimes in. I book holidays early in the year, so the earlier we know a date, the better forsure.

Jon, see section 2. It can be still or action. Whatever you prefer.
I think Marc said June or September. I could be wrong. Let's stay on track here George...haha

I've got 9 or 10 pics so far. I'll be posting a cut off date this weekend for submissions. I'd like to allow 2 more weeks for everyone to get their pics in to me. Then at least a week for voting. My goal as usual is to get everyone their calendars as soon as possible.
If you have a pic to submit, please get it to me as soon as possible.
Thanks
Jesse
