Farmington Extreme

SteveO · 05-09-2007, 12:28 PM

Went to Farmington this past weekend to run with the local TTORA guys. I ran a couple of extreme trails to make sure we could do them when the TTORA takeover came around.

I don't have any pics just yet, but here are some videos:

Big Johnson

Waterfall 1st obstacle called Riff-Raff. (QuickTime player required)Those who have large front bumpers, such as TJM or ARB, need not even try this obstacle. I barely made it up with my bumper, and I scraped up the front to get a tire on the wall.

Waterfall, 2nd obstacle. If you listen carefully, you can hear the left rear fender flare crunching in. Then it pops back out a little later.

Why can't you play .wmv? What system are you running?

Wow.... that's a lot of shiny metal and glass to get through obstacles like that without any damage.

Very impressive.

Nice. very good stuff there.

I'd also like to add that this was one of the better displays of spotting i've seen. Single spotter, giving directions to the driver, other spectators talking to the spotter, instead of yelling conflicting messages to the driver.

Well done.

i dunno why, since my comp needed to have the OS reloaded like six months ago i cant seem to update my Windows Media Player...everything else works fine, so i usually just watch everything in quicktime instead...cuz in wmp everything just comes up as ambience with sound...
