CrossFit Fort Collins (aka EmerFit) has been featured twice on CrossFit.com (here and here) but both times were in 2006. We are going to try to get some new crossfit.com love before the year is out. Any of you CrossFit junkies have a good idea? According to the affiliate blog we need something virgin (e.g. we haven’t posted it at EmerFit) and that makes you want to click on it. As we work on the video from our FGB III event we are looking for good potential shots.

    A play on the common handstand theme: a pic of as many of us as possible holding handstands, maybe after a group trail run or something like that? (I need work on my handstands…) I think at least 10 of us might make a statement. Haven’t seen a pic like that before on the HQ site.

    I say do another FGB, but this time, in the snow, and and, oh, and naked, show the country what we’re really made of! Nick can go first…

    Yeah it finally got posted! I still don’t like KNEs…

  4. Nick Kirkes says:

    Everything is better in the snow… and naked…

    Can we just put AJ in the big tire and roll him through Old Town until he tosses his cookies? I’d take pictures of that!

  6. Aaron says:

    I would pay to see AJ hurl in old town out of a giant tire. But seriously we should consider naked snow WOD for the site. After all this is CO

    Poor Aj! How about something on Thanksgiving(week) or Halloween!dressing up or some sort of charity drive!some kind of race in old town would get a lot of attention?!!! Stations could be setup so run 400m then 50 push ups…..let’s do filthy fifty but where its outside and make it a tradition in Fort Collins and invite the public and have lots of advertising and business support! How about advertising in the Fort Collins newpaper to! And for kids club make it a class that kids would see in the recreation department class list(then parents would see what kids are doing and join)! Also go into schools and give demos!fitness and health needs to be taught to the next generation! Also maybe give fitness seminars to groups(fire fighters health care professionals construction office workers…etc) who knows I think really that crossfit is wonderful its changed my life and a lot of people are afraid to workout or don’t understand crossfitting or are obese and having problems medically that if shown a healthy postive method and zoning would change their lives too!

    Thoughts:
    1) I like trail run to base of horsetooth rock, syncronized burpees with the rock in the background, alternate activity is the handstand.
    2) Alternate pic, is to have the folks on the top of horsetooth rock with burpee leap. Longs peak can be in the background.
    3) Alternate trailrun is to the base of Longs peak, with the East face of Longs in the background.
    4) Alternate, group activitie in oldtown on the stage.
    5) Alternate, is to have line up of folks, left to right, in different parts of the burpee, like the “evolution of man” picture.
    6) Timing of the photos: possible sunset pic, with sunset/mountains in background. Alternate, is to have a night shot with full moon behind the people(s). Alternate is to play off of the “atlas holding the world” photo, with folks holding up the moon.
    7) Another option – at the end of tthe zone challenge, take the combined weight loss, and get a picture of a pile of something of same weight ( lard,meat fat, cookies, ice cream, side of beef, bags of manure from a yard/garden shop) in the forground with the group in background facing away in top of a push-press.
    8) Image at a lake, taken from the lake, with the mirror image of the folks and the background.in the lake. Prefer a mountain in the background.

    Of course all folks will have emerfit t-shirts on. Or, eleven folks with one letter each (body paint or tshirt.) E-M-E-R-F-I-T-.-C-O-M

    p.s. Chris, Nick, lets please keep your junk in the trunk for the photos – just my opinion.
