    Official picture thread

    I thought I'd post a few of my favorite pics. Taz and NH did an awesome job with the pictures, and at a very reasonable price I might add. The trailer set up.. being able to click through the pics as the day progressed was very very cool and deserves some big props. Making me look 160 fast. Looking forward to seeing others especially Mrs Maxib's since she was on the ball with the camera wherever the action was.

    MCADX Days at Grattan 2009 Photo/video thread

    Post 'em up here!

    Here are 6 of my favorite stills - again, TAZ and nhfirefighter13 do a spectacular job, even while Chris was using his camera's monopod as a cane after twisting his knee.

    THANKS, guys - you rock!


    JetBdude and Sheep took video, so I'll try to attach some of that, including a very awkward moment when I simultaneously discovered:
    1. A fast line into the sweeper and
    2. The effect of losing 40 lbs on the ability of an SV to wheelie unexpectedly while leaned over.

    CBRVFR, I love the fact that you look more aggressive on the RC30 than the SV.

    Funny actually. She was hesitant the first day then this morning she's running around recruiting other females to do it. She was bummed it was raining and couldn't do it a third time. We ran a 1:54

    I chased him for a while on that RC30, and he was giving it a proper caning! Absolutely spectacular bike, and it sounds incredible. I'm really happy for him.

    Where to start where to start.

    I had an AWESOME time this trip. DEFINATELY one of the best yet.

    Having a couple of good friends make the trip down REALLY helps.

    Thanks to all who let me ride their bikes even if I did end up pushing a couple of them further than I rode them... hahaha Next year I WILL conquer big "italian" red... Someone "upstairs" must really not want me on that bike(or scotts 08 1KRR either) there is always something.

    I really came to Grattan this year wanting to work on somethings, like body position and trail braking and I think by the end of it I was pretty pleased with how things turned out. My pics from day one are all pretty funny looking as I am hanging off the bike like CRAZY but not really moving anywhere... Change of tires and some decent weather on day 2 made it MUCH better. I managed to get into the 28's for 2 or 3 laps by myself, without JBD towing me around like normal. I was VERY pleased with that.

    I even got to sign an autograph for my one "fan" again this year. That kid REALLY makes my week down there. Next year I owe him a wheelie picture though...

    Anyway, Here are some of my pics. Thanks to all who make this possible and can't wait til next year.
