Stampede

[WHITE-ITR]

Is it true that there are going to be pocket bikes as prizes for some games at the stampede?

[QuasarCav]

Did a carney whisper that into your bedroom window?

[adam c]

i wouldnt be surprized but the games would be nasty hard

[WHITE-ITR]

[jdm_jspec]

Those scooters with engines were last year's prizes. Wouldn't be surprised to see some pocket bikes.

[Thaco]

yeah, i got a couple of the electric scooters last year... pocket bikes as prizes would be the CPS' worst nightmare :P

[slickk]

sweet i wouldnt stop playin till i won

[Anton]

I bet you anything it's the ball, backboard, and basket ones.

Anyone who went can confirm this?

[Tik-Tok]

An episode of the simpsons comes to mind... they were tearing down an amusement park, some guys blew up a games booth with explosive, and the 3 bottles you are supposed to knock down came out unscathed and still together... that's what I think of carny games.

[Charon]

I hope its the ball board and basket game. I spent $20 on it at once they gave me 12 balls got 3 in. Only gave me one prize though, electric scooter. And they stopped me before I could throw all of em. I think I threw about 8 total.

Bastards

[Charon]

Yup, electric pocket bikes. I won one. They are just a little better then the scooters. I had a giant foam cowboy hat and rode er home.

[3G]

Stampede games are a scam i got into arguements with soo many carnies because I was calling them scams

[RiceCake]

Ahh... the joys of the Calgary SCAMpede...:)

[blueripper6]

U guys are insane, how can you play those games?

I never can, but maybe its just because I was told NEVER, to look a carnie directly in the eyes...

[rc2002]

You don't get gas powered ones there, but they have had the electric ones for a couple years now. This is "General Car/Bike Talk" how?

[Xtrema]

A few games you can actually master. A co-worker of mine got the ball in basket game down and got like about a half-dozen electric scooters a couple years ago. They are junk but consider that we pay about average of $20 for each, it ain't bad.

[Charon]

^^It usually costs me about $20 per electric scooter

I have been going for years, and have never seen the electric pocket bikes only electric scooters.

[Stoppie]

some of the carni's are ass's... i won that one where u knock all the blocks off and the carni said i didn't win... so i threw the ball at him, then of course, i was thrown out of the stampede. My friend is one of the stamp guys so i just got a stamp and came back in :D

[SLK55]

The way they set up each game, its a joke....intending to rip you off.

[Weapon_R]

I saw tons of electric bikes but they have wheels smaller than shopping carts so they can't be that good.

[jdmakkord]

The only game I see as being not rigged is the pool tables. If you know how to play pool at all, you are almost guaranteed a win.

Riggggght, those tables are so far from level. You can actually see balls change direction when rolling.

Plus the corner pockets are a tad smaller

Doesnt stop me from winning on them though :D

Meh, a soft break from the corner pots one ball almost every time. Its all easy from there. I've played on enough shitty bar tables to know how a crooked one plays.

[Charon]

Ill stick with the throwing games, my pool is not up to snuff for those tables.

[black_radiation]

its darts, my neighbour won 2 sport bikes and a chopper style one, lol... given he is a dart shark, but still hella better than a stuffed animal:P

[fordo_11]

My gf's grandpa is awsome at those stupid games he always goes and comes home with the gigantic bears and gives them to charity, I think you just need to figure out how to play the games and you can pretty much get anything you want. Mind you I don't waste the money or the time because I never win anything other than the smallest prize.

[Stoppie]

are you kidding me? they are small. you basically have to shoot it STRAIGHT in, it gives u no room to play around with.

10 dollars total :D

Won it on a game called scatterball

It was fun riding around the people haha. Talked to some dude who won a chopper on darts too, he had a horn on his bike.

[Stoppie]

did u put a new seat on it for more comfort? lol

[ashee]

I wanted one of those bikes so bad:(

[5hift]

I dont see how any self respecting adult would want to cruise around on essentially what is a souped up powerwheels bike.

[ashee]

Because it looked fun haha?

[Charon]

I won one of these as well. Rode it into work with one of those giant foam cowboy hats on.
Only mine cost me $40 to win.

Probably end up giving it to one of the cosins when they are old enough.... if their dad lets them use it(overly protective)

[Kavy]

basket whiffle ball game is easy, 3 days 3 bikes, 3 pissed off drunk craney's 10 bux per for the 3 balls. all three got it in 2 or less, this is a major secret to this game making it completely easy.

Once i hit it the second day everyone started to and the carney got pissed and left to have a "smoke" not letting anyone play anymore.
