F'in sick race on a real downhill trail. I don't get why people bother with that Fontana bs. Next year we should just replace all Norba races with our BMR's.

Sick shots, especially the sequence of veselin eating sh*t. Thanks for comming out and shooting us.

This is just so much fun... is that foot injured (guy with pump^) from this race or another race in the same format?

You guys got soul, pure roots. Respect.

Its a Toyota. We call it the RED ROCKET and it likes to get drifty with Leland behind the wheel.

It also likes to hop curbs and drive on the sidewalk at 3am in Tahoe. I think it has an insane amount of miles on it if I remember correctly.

He injured his foot getting off his bike at sea otter and stepping into a hole... i mean when he dropped that 100 ft cliff... .

Yeah, leelands truck is from the 80's, gets around 30mpg, and has seen more abuse than a 50 year old hooker.

This is too much fun... I can`t handly it.

 

[jefedelosjefes]

Nice pictures. Did everyone make it out of there ok? haha.

There was only one sprained wrist, a little skin loss, and a few crushed egos. I think only two of us put together a clean run... everyone else went down at least once. Good times.

With emphasis on the 'hard trails'. Tower and F*@! are beasts to be reckoned with

i got a thing for small pick up trucks.

Of course you do! Anybody who's spent any greater amount of time in a developing country has a thing for those old 60s/70's/early 80's pickup trucks. irate2:

During my childhood summers spent in Greece I used to see those trucks overloaded beyond stupidity. The amount of watermellons or mixed fruites they carried was quite impressive. Only thing missing was the blocks of magnesium below the rear bumper spraying out sparks..

But the gypsies wore the coolest.. Maaaaan, those gypsies loaded up those pickups with outdoor furniture that made the watermellon drivers envy them for the amount of **** they could get on those small veichles. Plastic chairs, tables, God...

Things stood up sky high and was hangin behind and on the sides of the cars in drifts. Imagine the biggest MF afro you've seen, but made out of cheap plastic outdoor furniture and a huge variatiy of house hold shiz, anything you could possibly ever need at your summer house, placed on a small truck.
I was also amazed how they they managed to hold that load together without dropping any of it.




I come to think of another recent thread with a video from a race in Brazil that RaphaelDH posted. Watching it I though, wOw, that looks just like my kind of track; fast, flowy, something I can take my HT to and have really fun on. But this **** you're doing..

Watching the photographer in the background is quite teling of the event, he's like: Wow, this is some good action pictures! Oops, better move before I get him over me.. Man, he's in for some good tumbles. Ooh noo, this could be bad... Foooook me, I better help him! He's foked.

And after the race when everybody's chatting, all that the poor guy is thinking of is that he's going to be of the sadle for half a year...

You guys sure good some good thing going there.

Try flickr.com or photobucket.com . They resize big pics on upload. Flickr quality is better.
