Greasebus Seattle video recap!

Rideshare ends for the year…time to Greasebus!

Thanks to EVERYONE who came out for evo’s Rideshare this year and partook in saving the environment one carload at a time.  I know, i know, its a bummer to see FREE donuts and coffee go away, but guess what?!  Greasebus is in full effect and you can score a ride to the mountain through the end of the season (date TBA) via a sweet veggie fueld, limosine bus.. decked out w/ free Clif Bars, beverages, a flat screen tv, and sweet hookups from all of the sponsors! BUS LEAVES EVO @ 8:00AM and its ONLY $10 round-trip to ride!

How it works:

The Greasebus service is first-come first-serve. For the spring of 2010 we’re offering trips to the mountains four days a week, pending at least 10 seats are sold. On the calendar (see link below) you can view how many riders are registered for any particular day by clicking on “Sign Up” in that date.

evo goes to the 2009 Dirksen Derby

Check out this mini version of the Banked Slalom that Josh Dirksen puts on down at Mt. Bachelor. A couple of us from evo were lucky enough to join the Salomon crew as we left Portland on the Grease Bus and made our way down to take part in the competition.

evo Employee Danny Martin & his greasebus trip to Baja

So one of our employees created a grease bus from scratch and iscruising to the Baja peninsula, fueled 100% by veggie oil donated by restaurants along the way!

Their bigger picture goal is to “spread global awareness of and support for the practical, attainable use of non-fossil based fuels by traveling, developing a social network and exploring man’s relationship with the natural world through cross-cultural perspectives.”

They’ve created a non-profit called Econcept Foundation and they are actually already out spreading the gospel. Their first major adventure on the bus will be down the California coast all the way to the tip of Baja, Mexico. They took off late November and will be gone 6-8 weeks. Along the way they will be showing the bus, meeting new people, and spreading the love!
