Long day of uploading. It started with Bflo texting me at 8 this morning, asking about pictures. I would have killed via text message for waking me up, but I had planned on waking up at 8 to get an early start uploading.

I have been sitting at my computer since about 8:30am doing nothing but sorting and uploading. I was smart this time and set up my computer in front of the tv.

I just started on the race pictures, everything else is online.

Im uploading out of order. Right now its just L and N. M is up next for Bryguy

Here are some

not really a crash picture, but its close.

 

YOur the effin Man Andy..... Anyone who saw that kicker can see from the photo it didnt end well with how fast the back end was coming up right off the kicker there. Man you just made me hurt all over again

 

Quick ride report:
Margaret and I got up stupid early (4:45 am) to make the drive from Redlands to Woodward in time for practice on Sunday. We go there around 7:45 or so and Margaret registered for her race. She was excited that they let her register in the Pro class (her first pro race). She got in about 3-4 practice runs while I helped her to pick some lines and hike her bike while shooting photos (and losing my sunglasses #-o).

She was second after the first run and first after the second run! All in all a great day for Margaret. It was a really close race with only about 3 seconds seperating first from 4th. Awesome result for her first pro race. Now if only I could find my sunglasses...

Here is a pic of Margaret hitting the last corner on her way to the top of the podium.

 

Andy I love your new Camera


Here is Said Picture.... its the Kicker that kicked me!!!!! Everyone there will know the angle of flight is all wrong




But the look in the eyes really says it all



Thats Pure fear of Mother Nature and Gravity right there

 

Yeah that was my worry every time I hit that jump. I was braking into that jump so I could try and it close to the ground. That jump really needed to be a table or a double.

 

Your eyes say a lot, if only we see what your mouth was saying. I dont remember the exactly the words, but i can guess.

you crashed behind the finish sign so I dont have any of the after math. I have some with a lot of dust, but we cant see any of you.


The pros had a long jump competition on that jump. JD had the farthest jump both runs. His back tire landed just short of the metal finish line.
Then one of the Jr. X riders had the longest of the day. Back tire hit the metal.

 

not gonna lie, that's a scary picture there...

I know I had my share of sketchy landings off that thing. I think "trials drop" style would be my method of choice:

http://cleghornphotography.zenfolio.com/p558068061/e1869d873

that's an equally sketchy landing though...

 

I dont really want to see any..... But at the same time... I really do

 

I would take that landing any day over My landing I had

 

yeah, the whole weekend I was wondering which would be worse, endoing from being too nose heavy, or looping out the landing from being too far back. either ways gonna hurt, but I figure my arse end has more padding than the front :lol:

 

Thats really about it.......I tested the too far forward method...... cant say I want to ever do it again
