Picture yourself in the old West! Step back in time and imagine yourself as a gunslinger or a Preacher... a School M'arm or a dancer. You were there ... in the heart of the old west ... and now you can prove it!
Unlike many teambuilding events this one is not about self-discovery or learning – this is pure fun. After a familiarization ride through the desert the teams arrive at the coarse. The games are simple and riders of any ability can compete. Mountain Bike Olympics creates a winning and competitive attitude in the outdoors, which will be carried over to the workplace. Sample events: - The Skid Pit - The team with the longest average skid wins.- Team Push - The team must give a mighty shove and see how far their teammate will roll without pedaling.

It definitely takes a certain knack and talent to die properly when shot in the streets of Ft. McDowell. Try entertaining your guests with a “dying contest”. Always a hit and a lot of fun, our host gets the whole crowd involved in this contest.
You get the whole famn damily with this crowd pleaser. That’s right, things start off with a bang as Pa and his 2 boys crash your party lookin’ fer a no good, low down, varmit what done his daughter wrong. When their search seems to be in vain, you meet the object of misguided affection, daughter “Calamity” herself. The culprit is located (you pick the victim) and justice takes a grim turn just as the Marshall arrives to take control. With a hangin’ out of the question, a wedding solves the problem. This is another fail-safe show!
Kids and parents alike love our cute little critters. We’ll set up our mini barnyard and fill it with about a dozen hand-tamed farm animals. |
