    Hey Bob,

    Two weeks ago, my aunt sent me these photos she took with her phone...

    and that's the closest I've come to watching the Cup.
    Haven't even watched the news or anything. :dunno
    Too busy with the ride report!

    I had no idea what you were talking about - I had to ask google. :lol3
    So, the Americans won?

    That must have been exciting to watch!
    Were you there in person?



    Sorry, that's a disappointing hijack, huh? :cry
    Gotta get back to Moab! :deal

    Scott didn'’t seem to be using his Sena anymore...
    Right about here, he yelled something about “Hell’'s Gate,”
    but we couldn’'t really understand him...:dunno

    [​IMG]





    Radek said this looked like the trail...Were we okay going down this way?

    [​IMG]





    Um. Sure, why not?
    We followed Scott.

    [​IMG]





    It wasn'’t bad.

    [​IMG]





    That wasn't Hell’'s Gate, was it? :scratch

    Holy monkey fighter. Just got caught up... after the night-passes-in-the-rain-cliff episodes I didn't think you guys could surprise me any more.... I'm thinking you scared a bunch of the licra crowd.

    My buddy Jeff tried to make himself two dimensional in the spot where Lica took out his handlebars. He looped out his 450 and the bike landed right on top of him... all on video as well. You guys are using some seriously fine throttle control through that point... steep, insane traction, new tires, shit-ton of power.... :eek1
