Saturday night I went to L.A. I hate LA. Anyhow, there were cookies there that made me feel weird.

TURNERob · 09-25-2006, 09:58 AM

I'm working on uploading some videos, maybe post a few up on photobucket and then Dino will do a full compilation in a couple days. I have about 20+ videos so may take some time. Here is a pic I took on the way home, this guys space ship bumper was flapping violently in the wind and his back bumper was doing the same.....both looked like they were ready to fall off at any second.

Here is the 1st vid, me on the ladder drop. Chaos, alright you asked for it

Here is Chaos on the squeeze play, so close!

Here is 1 more of Sleepdirt on the ladder drop, just a little sideways on the landing.

Do you know how long it takes to upload these vids to photobucket even with DSL? If you're nice to me maybe I'll upload the vid of you going through the squeeze later today

Geez... sensitive. I just assumed you'd upload the best videos first

.

Thanks Craig.

TURNERob · 09-25-2006, 03:13 PM

Alright Pat, but only because you were so suave on the squeeze

Since this is short one I decided to up load it also since I hadn't done any of the teeter totter yet. Here is Dino on the totter, brilliant filming position directly into the sun done by the only and only Mcgrath eh!

mcgrath · 09-25-2006, 03:52 PM

Dude... I'm telling ya, the cloud moved for Dino's video. It wasn't there when the others went on it. Detroit-what?

Nice video by the way. Thanks.

spookydave · 09-25-2006, 04:14 PM

mcgrath, I didn't notice that elbow dab on sunday. lol

I'll tell you what, it looks smooth in the vid clip but it looked even smoother in person.

09-25-2006, 04:35 PM

I don't believe he elbow dabbed on his first undocumented run through "the squeeze"....maybe that means it didn't really happen....hehe.

TURNERob · 09-25-2006, 04:44 PM

Yeah the vid is from his 2nd run through it. Can't remember if he dabbed on the 1st try but I don't think so. Either way it took me 3 trys to get through it without getting stuck. Must be that the MotoLite has a narrow bottom bracket combined with those eggbeaters eh!

09-25-2006, 04:50 PM

i think it was his new helmet!

His first undocumented run was the 'impressive' run. I am pretty sure that he did not elbow dab on the first run, however. I was too busy watching him line up by slightly bouncing his rear wheel to the right. Way cool!

You needed the first two tries to remove enough material from your pedals. Alternatively, KY Jelly may have come in handy.

LBmtb · 09-25-2006, 04:57 PM

Very nice, pat!

mcgrath · 09-25-2006, 05:15 PM

Nice Ken!

yeah, oddly enough my first run was smoother than the second. I attribute my great success to the superior design of the MotoLite when compared to that of a lowly Turner.

Honestly though, I was thinking about it, and 1. the eggbeaters may have helped, and 2. the BB height of the ML is a rather high 14.125" unsagged. And the squeeze tapers towards the bottom.

But yeah, it was pretty cool to actually make it, and have someone want to take my picture. Doesn't happen very often.
