:rofl: :rofl:

You rode out of that?! It looks like you're 10 inches away from doing 20mph headfirst into that rock.

Awesome picture.

edit: only upon further examination did I see that your front tire was on the ground and you were actually doing a nose-wheelie. I thought you had come off a lip and were on your way down!

that does look like you are going towards the rock, did you hit the rock or was there an opening behind it?

didn't hit the rock at all. was able to just step right over the handlebars and run it out.
more than anything i was just annoyed i messed up in a relatively easy spot AND it got captured on film.

Damn I thought you said you rode out of it before.


You just didn't eat dirt. That's still one of my most favoritist pictures in the history of forever.

That's one of the best bail pictures I've ever seen! Not only is it a great bail picture (and I love that you got the bike in the top of the frame), it's actually a technically excellent photo - focus is spot on, well exposed :D

Biggins, you should convince Loo to dig up his shattered wrist xray. He was incapcitated to ride the last 1.5 yr in Socal due to the injury (and stubborness).

Same spot and crash sequence where Orven dislocated his elbow.

this guy did not get up after 2-3 classes have gone by during the race.

I don't know why I don't take crash pics when the opportunity is given. :think:

Actually I think I may have been taking a nap :p

I have tons of race crashing photos, but I found some random ones of local peeps while searching through old photos.

I think I did this about five times in a row.......


Last minute bail-out when I decided the jump was too big for me


Tonycalves showing us the improper way to hit a jump


Learning to ride clipless....helmetless (don't try this at home kiddies)


lovebunny expressing his frustration at not finding his car keys in the big rock pile ;)


Alex966's bike showing him who is boss, but he found lovebunny's car keys in the process :D


Stupid SoCal sand


I got so happy I made it over the jump, I forgot that I still needed to land


Guys my head hurts....where is my bike?- local rider David


Sometimes those rocks just like to reach out and grab you


lovebunny finds that out too ;)



I should get back to work....and then maybe call lovebunny, he is always good for a crash pic or two. :rofl:
