Nice, Thanks for the warm welcome (back). Been messing with cars a bunch. Racing on the ice
Messing around on the dirt
and Building a Class 11 car for Baja 1000...

Plus lots of other odd projects and fun stuff...
What was your old Guise? Yeah, I have been tinkering with a lot of stuff. Building cars actually, but still riding as well. I've been on the road bike a bit more frequently, but I just ordered up a Tomac Diplomat so I'll need to kick myself back into shape pretty fast!
Hey all, been a while since I've been on here. Been pretty busy with a lot of things and the forum world has been a bit tough to visit. Not sure how much I'll be around but at the very least I figured I'd stop in and say hi.
I've been playing around with the gopro's a bit recently just threw...
Well, no sh*t, that was Roland Sands. I had no idea. So that means we were up against, hollywood production companies, builders from Overhaulin, creatives from Pixar, Troy Lee and A well established and known custom motorcycle builder at the very least. It is crazy to see all the people come out...
So the way the Soapbox race works, in order to win the race you need to win the best creativity which includes craftsmanship, concept etc. Then you need to win the best Time, which is simply fastest time down course then finally you need to win the best showmanship. This is what the judges score...
Well, we pulled off a 3rd place and the Peoples choice awards. Our skit music started without warning and we pretty much screwed up our whole skit, so we couldn't expect to get good scores there unfortunately. We did well though, Fastest time on the course and a huge margin of votes from the...
The car is nearly done and not a moment to soon! We are leaving tonight after we install the windshield and side view mirrors. As of now it has a nice white sheen to it and it is just dying to get some decals on it! We did hubcaps for this thing and they look sweet.
Yesterday I got a call...
Thanks man! We have been having fun building this thing, but it is even more encouraging when we know other people are enjoying it as well!
Body is now mounted...
Yup fiberglass is a bit rough to work with, though we aren't having the issues this time around because we are learning from last years mistakes.
Anyhow, we pulled the body off the mold...
...and I think it looks awesome!
We just finished laying up the body skin last night at 4am. We got a roll of mat for the whole vehicle, we figured we'd reinforce the crucial areas with woven in order to save a few bucks (this vehicle will be used for a grand total of 30 seconds afterall) So we waxed up the mold, taped all the...
Thanks everyone, glad you like it! If you are in Cali, come out and cheer us on, it is only two weeks from today!
We have been making some progress, I will post up some more photos in a bit.
Yeah, this thing has been a ton of work, but we are getting close to the end! I'll post up some more pix when we get further along. We have a bunch of videos on the site as well, so check it all out! If we are gonna work this hard for a 1 day race, then we mind as well show off our efforts, right!?
Some of you may remember me, I suck at posting on the internet anymore, however I do a bunch of lurking.
Anyhow, if you do remember me you will remember that I have done a lot of photography in the past. I haven't given up on that, but I have definitely decided to try to get my hands a bit...
Well, we are runnin low on funds for this thing, but are definitely to committed to throw in the towel at this point.
We were up till 4am laying up fiberglass. It is amazing how quickly time passes when you aren't paying attention.
Maybe I'll put together a full thread of the build in the...
So September 26th, I am going to be headed to LA with my friends Jeremiah and Sandra Hueske, Matt Fisher and James Olson to compete in the race. Are any of you guys planning on going? Should be a good time and we have a pretty awesome car to show off when we get there. Check it out so far...
I have had my eye on that one as well. I rode a 575 and it was a nice bike, though I was riding with nearly 40lbs of camera gear on my back, so it wasn't ideal...
Thanks spocompton rider, I really appreciate the feedback!
What do you guys think of the Intense Spider 2 vs the Tracer? I like the slacker angles of the Tracer, but I am really trying to force myself to think about the weight of the bike, pedaling performance and whatnot... So it isn't to much...
Yes, yes he does, MotionBoy has taken a hiatus in the motor equipt world of Karting and the non motor equipt world of Road bikes. But I think it is nearly time to get back on a MTB
