ah whatever... i can't seem to "quote" it here... but the crazy sky photo with the sideways trees...

Took me a few seconds before I realized that was your view of Westy's hood while climbing the waterfall. Nutzz.

Frank's pics are still uploading...

Yeah, I was puckered a bit.
Great day! IFS ruled the trail!
Jon, The guy buying my bike will be at my place at about 10. I'll call you as soon as I can head over if that works.

It doesn't look like it, but this is the closest we came to rolling all day. We were right at the breaking point here.

Dude in white: Walks up to me, nods toward my IFS 'Runner, "is that yours?"
Me: "yeah"
Dude in white: Shakes head increduluously, "oh, you got sliders... You'll be ok..." and walks off...

Thanks for the photos.

I thought it was going over. A photo from the front would have showed the entire story. That is one of those innocent looking, deceiving parts of the trail. After navigating through all those big rocks, finally that part of the trail smooths out its a nice relief for a bit...and that spot will get you if you aren't careful. That would have been an embarrassing spot to flop, especially right in front of all those buggies coming the other way!

Jon...you got that photo of my truck in a cloud of smoke as I went up the waterfall??

Good trail and a good day. It would have been better if someone hadn't of broken into my garage and loosend the drive's side caliper bolts and then one of you guys throwing that rock infront of my tire to pop it.

Wow. Those shots are great. They actually give an idea of how big that wall is and how smokey riding up that wall was.
What kind of camera was that he was using...
I need to get an SLR too some day. They take great shots.

Stupendous footage of those 4 cylinders of fury....

Kent does look like he got rather close to going off.

Kent came real close, his slider caught on the edge of the concrete corner after the Tacoma kinda hopped over near the dropoff.
