Old Race Pics

Alright, so Jamie (:moon:) said it was too late to retract my additions here, so I will keep the "Lie" alive. Here are some random photos from "trail rides" I found the other day.

Here is random shot at a local ride in Spangler somewhere. Looks to be an end of a canyon run and I came into this corner a little hot and missed the grove to plant the wheels in. Still maintained the edge and powered my way out.

Here is another shot of me hitting a little step up ledge..:wow: Notice the 2 fingers resting on the clutch, body position is centered on the bike and eyes forward looking at where I need to angle the bike for my landing. If you notice my one finger on the front break side is just retracting to give me full control of the throttle.

These next 2 shots are from a "Trail Ride" in Laughlin, NV. The best place to go if you like Jumping Chollas attacking you (another campfire story). So here I am a little out of shape coming out of this wash, but I still have time to tell the camera man "You're #1".

120 miles later of the most technical, tight, rocky, cactus filled desert and I am still up on the pegs!!! Take a look at the left foot...Peg is just behind the ball of the foot(for the foot position thread). Just on the other side of that mountain behind me is the Colorado River and Laughlin, Nevada. We did get on some hill tops and had a great view of the river, but too bad they were short lived and no time to take your eyes off where you were going to take in this beauty..

So this last shot is a picture of a little water filled double out at Barstow College. One of the best GP's ever! The desert surrounding the college is some really fast technical riding and they put in a great MX section that was even fun for us "Desert Guys". I would ride as many events as I could in the 2 days there. Too bad the town took this event away from us..:rant:

So there you go...I found some other pictures from a National I rode that has a great downhill for Rack and more bright mix of colors for Rez. I also found a few Quad pics to keep me on Timoyz list...:smirk: I might not be able to get those up though until Sunday or next week because I am flying to AZ in the morning to Celebrate my Dad's 80th B-day. I am sure we will be bench racing all weekend...

"Claimer - Photo's By Grumpy was my photographer sponsor and did some amazing work. He is stil out there at D37 races shooting pictures"

GREAT stuff.....:thumb:..............+2 on STYLE, the thumbs up/arm pump (go Jesrey Shores....:smirk:)...As for the pic of you landing nose first...rather sharply...to the untrained eye it appeared like you were losing it...:naughty:..but for professionals such as us DBA'rs, we know differently...:ride:
 
The Blue KX is so awesome :cry: it IS a 5hundy right? The pipe sure looks like it but hey I could be wrong. Can't really see the engine :noidea:
 
Fuschia! :cry:

And dang, the pipe looks like a 5hundy the way it snakes around :wow: Either way, nice bike. Never seen a blue KX before :thinking:

You'd shizzle your pants if you ever saw a "snail" pipe...didn't last long on the market...It came out of the head same as usual only it curled up and over the head section and back down pretty much staying right at the front of the bike.

Take the part of the chamber where it begins to bend towards the back of the bike and bring it back over the to the right in this case dropping down where the front of the seat is...no part of the pipe was directed to the rear it pointed down!........beeeeeeAtch! I found a picture of one one google...google "snail pipe", scroll down to Bultaco 1977 snail pipe and open it. I tried to copy it but couldn't!
