Kinetic Sculpture Race 2019

Kinetic Sculpture Race

If you’re standing on a street corner, and a neon green brain, a psychedelic hippopotamus, and a fire breathing rainbow zebra striped unicorn pass by, it can only mean one thing; You’re in Arcata for the start of the 50th …

Kinetic Sculpture Race

Blake arrived last night for our annual Memorial Day Weekend ride, but in cleaning up some stuff in the garage for his arrival I managed to screw up my back. So instead of starting our ride today, we drove up …

Carp

Knowlesville Posted on May 30, 2007 by MattJune 7, 2019
Kinetic Sculpture Race

Although very different from his most recent entries, this sculpture from Duane Flatmo was the best of the lot once again. The metallic fish was made primarily from recycled baking pans of various shapes and sizes.

Kinetic Sculpture Race

The traditional start to Memorial Day Weekend is to go up to Arcata for the start of the Kinetic Sculpture Race. Yesterday we found out that there was a Harbor Freight store in Arcata so we stopped there first as …

Humboldt Bunny

Bunny Costume

The Humboldt Lumberjack band came into Ferndale (minus Lori Ann Crist, who was attending Arthur’s graduation at home) for the finish of the Kinetic Sculpture race. It was a typical overcast Ferndale morning, for which I’m sure this guy was …

Unwieldy

Knowlesville Posted on May 28, 2005 by MattMay 18, 2019
Kinetic Sculpture Race

Today was the start of the 37th annual Kinetic Sculpture Race. The machine pictured here was new this year and was unlike any other machine we’ve ever seen. It became an instant hit during the braking test and I only …

Last but not Least

Knowlesville Posted on June 7, 2004 by MattMay 7, 2019
Subaru

Finishing the race where everybody expected them to, this Subaru came in last. Actually the good bet was that they would be towed out of the bay by the Coast Guard. I was surprised to see that they made it. …

Bats in the Belfry

Knowlesville Posted on June 6, 2004 by MattMay 7, 2019
Bats in the Belfry

As usual, my favorite entry comes from the Duane Flatmo crew. (You might remember Mega-sore-ass, and Surf and Turf from previous years) This year’s entry was modeled to resemble a Victorian hearse, staffed with a bunch of bats. The details …

Giddy-up Grandma

Knowlesville Posted on June 5, 2004 by MattMay 7, 2019
Giddy Up Grandma

As the finish line announce mentioned, although the Kinetic Sculpture vehicles are meant to be artistic, there have been some entries that were built for speed and less for art, but until this entry showed up, there had never been …

Hot Rod

Knowlesville Posted on June 4, 2004 by MattMay 7, 2019
Hot Rod

This entry not only looks cool, but from what we heard it did really well over Deadman’s Drop. Those massive tires came off of a Super Modified race car, and they were a lot lighter than they look. With four …

Gourd of the Rings

Knowlesville Posted on June 3, 2004 by MattMay 7, 2019
Kinetic Sculpture Race

Back to recapping the Kinetic Sculpture Race. This entry, a play on the recent movie series, came with a troop of gourdish warriors in tow.

This week I’ll be featuring some of the more interesting entries in the Kinetic Sculpture Race. One of the first across the finish line, and one I didn’t expect to see in Ferndale, was this guy who rode a unicycle …

When you see someone driving a vehicle disguised as a bunch of fruit, it can only mean one thing. Yep that’s right, it’s Memorial Day weekend and time for the Kinetic Sculpture Race. We’ll have more pictures of some of …

Over Engineered?

Knowlesville Posted on May 28, 2003 by MattApril 25, 2019
Kinetic Sculpture

This Kinetic sculpture appears to have been designed by Germans. It might be over-engineered, but then again, given what they have to negotiate, it might be just the right amount of engineering to get the job done.

Big Trike

Big Trike

Everything in the Kinetic Scupture Race seems to be over scaled. Big frogs, big lobsters, and this big tricycle.

As a kid I watched Speed Racer cartoons many Saturday mornings. Speed Racer has made a bit of a comeback lately and one bit of evidence of this is this kinetic version of the Mach 5, Speed Racer’s multi-talented race …

If there are giant frogs rolling around the Arcata Plaza, it must be time for another running of the Great Arcata to Ferndale Kinetic Sculpture Race. This year we were joined by Derek, Jasna, Lauren, and Grandma. There were some …

Tide Fools

Knowlesville Posted on May 27, 2002 by MattApril 13, 2019
Kinetic Sculpture Race finish line

The official name of the “Big Lobster Thingy” was Tide Fools. The crew that was pedaling it all wore these great squid costumes. At least I think they were squid. After the race they were trying to correct the radio …

Sailing

Knowlesville Posted on May 26, 2002 by MattApril 13, 2019
Sailing down the highway

It probably sounded like a good idea. Put a bunch of sails on your vehicle and let the wind do the work. However, leaving Arcata, there was a stiff headwind, and the team didn’t seem to think about lowering the …

Spicey Meatballs

Knowlesville Posted on May 31, 2001 by MattMarch 22, 2019
Spicey Meatballs

One of my favorite racers came in dead last, Spicey Meatballs. Complete with wine and cheese, the meal included the driver and passenger’s heads as big meatballs in a pile of spaghetti. Unfortunately early in the third day they broke …

As the racers came in one by one, they lined them up along Main Street. I got a good close look at the workings of Mega-Sore-Ass, and it was one complicated machine. Six people pedaled, each with there own derailer …

Today was an only in Ferndale day. First, there was a Memorial Day parade down Main Street, followed by a ceremony at the Ferndale Cemetery. The ceremony was quite moving with nice speeches, and it was nice to see Memorial …
