Our M/C club puts on huge parties down here in the desert. For Thanksgiving they showed NitroCircus on their 10x20 foot outdoor screen. It was wild.
An operational test launch of an unarmed Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile from Vandenberg Air Force Base is seen from nearby Lompoc, CA. The ICBM safely launched and traveled the approx. 4,200 nautical miles to its target in the Marshall Islands. Just our way of saying Happy New Years to North Korea... I bet they shit themselves when they saw that coming.
Here is a crazy one for you I lived on a small island named Kwajalein In the Marshall islands and we used to go sit on the beach and watch those come in from Cali and land in the lagoon. I think they went and retrieved them. Spent a good amount of time right here on Emon beach and you can see the radar tracking globes in the background.
Today at Washougal... Airforks suck... Buddy Jake Super fast and really nice guy Rory Sullivan won going away. Was super fun to watch. Lots of carnage. All my pix on this are here... http://motosportz.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/Hangover-scrambles-2013
We haven't had any luck with air forks either. We do like the new Husqvarna 4CS forks, they rake a bit of tuning, but are very nice.
Whats gonna keep this guys' rear tire from hitting the log and just sliding down it instead of gripping and pulling over the log for him? (like it probably did).. I've done moves close to that over logs and I get alot of sliding down the log instead of rear tire up and over the log if I do not hit the log straight-on.
Looks like he's doing a pivot wheelie and trying to make a sharp 180° turn over the log. Maybe he went to the right of the rock....
Thats Rory Sullivan, very talented rider and super fast while looking like he is out for a trail ride with some kids. He did that section perfectly every time. He lives here int he NW and rides the gnar down tree stuff all the time. this stuff is childs play to him. Perfect pivot and go like the log was not there. Also notice the tire studs. Does not matter though he is super talented and would have got over that the same way. Very efficient rider. Notice one finger clutch technique and perfect rear wheel spin. This guy has massive bike control. Makes everything look EZ. Walked away from some seriously fast guys.
