How'd ya'll like to start a race with a drop like this? I get nervous just picturing my self going down it and the drop on the right looks sick. I wish I could have been there, it would have been great.

Where was this located? Almost looks like a place i know in UT, and no, i wouldnt dare ride it... :)

DBD. That is one awesome pic. I'm thinking though, that taking the racing thing you do into account, and the previous pics you've posted, that you'd secretly like to do this one Sunday morning, 6am, when noone is looking...:)

Good eye Joe. The contest was held at Virgin, UT. on the 13 Oct.
.

You betch'ya Bookie. I am going bigger each time we go out so hopfully I will be able to land some sick drops. When it does happen we will definitly get pics.

DBD. I just played the QT movie of it. Those take-offs are absolutely amazing. Some of those guys look as if they don't even have body armour. I'd love to have been there. As for the poor sod who fell, I'm amazed he got back up again. Wonder what is bike looked like?:D

my god. if i was rich and i could afford the hospital bills, i would start downhill biking. but i think ill stick to the streets of NYC. As far as im concerned, you gotta have big balls and a sharp reflexes to ride here.

Same applies to New York doesn't it?

I only went there once in April 1988. The traffic frightened me sh1tless and I was a pedestrian! The risks are the same, only the terrain is different.:)

so very true. i couldnt count the many times i almost hit stupid pedestrians dont look when they fling open doors or cross the street with out looking. i should hit them and make them realize how dumb they are. the amount of stupid people in NYC amazes me how they survive for so long with out getting killed

my god. if i was rich
Look at it this way, if you were rich you stop working spend all your time on your bike and have the skills it would take to ride the extream stuff. And what Dr. bills? All ya need is some gauze, sugical tape, lidocaine and an anti-inflamatory and you are good to go:D .

I wouldn't do it. We had a tourny here that was pretty extreme and messes some guys up but nothing really compares to the red bull comp. :)

Joe Gardner 10-18-02 11:39 AM

I wish i would have known about it! I would have made a trip out there. There is acutaly a LOT of riding like that just out of Virgin UT., not all that extreme... :)

dirtbikedude 10-18-02 11:45 AM
