Tyler McCaul.... Flat Track?
Scrubbin' before the rain.
The muddy sleeve says it all for Smith...
Oh man that scrub pic is pretty epic! Is that Hill or Fairclough?
That Sam. Brendan got all whippy instead.
Just for kicks, here's a helmet cam run Steve Smith did yesterday morning at the end of practice.

Got home at midnight last night, didnt even unpack my gear outta the car until just now. awesome time as usual, awesome to hang with buds and do some filming again. Editing 2 videos starting tonight, so hopefully something Evil-y Litter-ish for everyone by Tues/Wed. 
So is word on the street true that Bryn was doing the triple step up/over on the open section? Lets see this!!
Brynn should also have gotten a medal for his rock garden performance. Un-freaking-beleivable. The whole crowd practically went silent when he almost gapped the whole damn thing.
nice dropkicks yay!
East Coast....
yeah, it seemed like he was quadrupling it...the crazy thing was that he was stopping just in time for "crap shoot"
Bryn did triple the step up during pro practice on Sunday. Wasn't to many people there watching, just some of the GT guys (Carter, McCaul, Aiello) and a bunch of spectators.
Someone was there filming, not sure who it was, but hopefully it pops up sooner or later.

how do you quad a triple?
Probably land on the rock roller that shoots you into the g-out at the top of crapchute

is crapchute the big flat slab rock section before the sound garden?
its the spot right after the step up after you come out of the woods
It's the world famous Lars Tribus front flip spot. Coincidentally I did the exact same thing in qualies.
Nuts. Ryan was that your A6 Avant parked in the Appalachian hotel? I was going to say hi but knowone was around yesterday afternoon.
That was, I was out of it for most of yesterday so I was at the end of the course for a bit and back in the room.
Definitely say hi, I will be at almost all of the Gravity east races and the nationals. Hopefully won't crash out of any of those.
I wouldn't say Vernon NJ is ****ty or the area around Diablo... it has beautiful countryside with lots of mountains, a few farms, horse stables, some lakes, lots of wide open space...
What's so terrible about that?
holy **** he was gapping that? over the front flip flat spot to the other side?

LoL... yeah - I don't know... maybe jon is pissed because there aren't any strip clubs there like in Morristown.
:biggrin:
I'm not from Vernon or Essex County, but I dig going there and riding at Diablo.

haha I don't think so, but that would be just nuts. From what it sounds like he was tripling off of the step up and landing way out past the top of the step up on that little roll down just before you hit the spot you are talking about. He must have landed on the brakes hard to pull that offholy **** he was gapping that? over the front flip flat spot to the other side?
thats what i was imaging. the gap some how to the rock slab. had me think about how crazy that was all day.
Photos from practice, qualifying, and finals on Saturday and Sunday for both Pros and Ams have been posted. 800+ photos total.

oh ok, thats what i pictured at first. thats still a jam on some gears to get that speed, i bet if he didnt touch the brakes he could have gapped the chutehaha I don't think so, but that would be just nuts.

north jersey is where its at.I wouldn't say Vernon NJ is ****ty or the area around Diablo... it has beautiful countryside with lots of mountains, a few farms, horse stables, some lakes, lots of wide open space...

middle/south jersey sucks. argument over
North Jersey is definitely superior to the rest of the state. Sussex and Morris are nice places overall.
Anyway, had a good time at the open. I crashed hard in practice friday- smashed my foot, shoulder, ellbow, knee and hand going otb at speed in the woods. The foot is cut on the top and bruised all along the inside. Looks gross. Hope I didn't break anything.
Watching the race was fun, though (except for the delay). Saw at least 3 people slide out right at the top of the grass section (Atkinson included). Must have been slick there.
