Planet Minis

I'm in NY and have plane tickets out, planned on watching the MiniMotoSX and the Supercross Finale the next day, but started thinking I wouldn't mind racing the stock/mod class. Anyone from the Northeast driving down that might have room for another bike?

With my luck the airline would lose my bags! I thought about breaking it down and shipping it UPS to my hotel, but that'd cost me atleast two hundred bucks.

I know someone that might be able to haul it for you. but were in MD so you'll have to bring it down about 4 hrs to have him haul it for you.

I was wondering the same thing. I have had my bags end up in Puerto Rico on a flight to vegas from Boston! I would be awful ugly if I was in vegas and my bike got shipped somewhere else!

ship it to a trust worthy person who is driving to vegas.

I brought a BMX bike on a plane several times, it is an extra $50, similar size in a box, so I think it will be OK. I am just going to spray paint the box saying VEGAS, so there are no misunderstandings. I am getting there Tuesday night so that should give time to resolve any issues.

I live down the street from the Orleans if anyone needs anything shipped down here. Im not a douchebag, pm me if I can help anybody out with anything really.

I called Jet Blue. They said that you can box it and bring it for $50. You need to break it down so that the box weighs less than 99 pounds. You can put all the parts in another box and you don't have to pay for the second box, but if you have any additional luggage it is $20 per peice. So basicaly get 2 boxes and put all your stuff including bike in, and them bring an extra $50, each way.

That might not be such a big deal, I'm actually flying out of Baltimore and my bike is in Dover, Delaware right now. How much would he charge me to haul it out there and back?
