The Solar Bear Challenge (SBC) 2011 - 2012

[Gogosor]

Hi Guys,

The Solar Bear Challenge is back for 2011 - 2012, it's a fun way for motovloger's to get on their Motorbike in winter, assuming you live in a warmer climate, good participation from the US & UK last year. In 2010-2011, RC62 moderated the first SBC, the objective was to spell out the words "Solar Bear" by finding street signs that begin with particular letters.

Im up for this but dont understand. Is there certain signs we have to find (ie railway sign) or do we spell out solar bear like last year?

Southern Hemisphere is entering summer.

The signs you need are the ones from 1 to 10 on the stats page:
http://www.solarbear-2.rc62.net/stats.html

There are no motorway signs; the top pic on the site is just a logo pic. Scroll down the page to find the signs you need.
Yield USA = Give Way UK

The challenge is scooter friendly, you don't need a 600cc+ bike, any ride will do.

You can only start filming on the 01/12/2011, so some time to go, it is a winter challenge. No need to do it in one day, you will have plenty of time.
Start Date: 01/12/2011
End Date: 14/02/2012

Also please read the Rulz & Qualifying: http://www.solarbear-2.rc62.net/info.html

"Only one video per day will count toward challenge matching (you can hit multiple signs on the same day but they must be posted as separate and unique 3 min videos on different days)"

Count me in for this year my dear Gogosor !

I think I'll have a really hard time finding some of those signs but hey, that's why it's called a challenge !

Does the street letter still count for this year or is it just about the road signs ?

 

[Gogosor]

Just the road signs Zee, good to have you on board
