it’s pretty close. i was a little rushed today to get it finished it could use some additional shaping and better fitting of the legs but overal it’s nice and tight.

Some pics of one of the cars I was there to shoot. Barrel rolled it first corner. It dug into the soil and just pitched over. Rolled back onto its wheels started off and kept shooting. Sadly my buffer filed and this is the last in the sequence.

I wonder what kind of price tag those side by side rigs cost for racing... we've got a few local dirtbike tracks that run sxs races... I'd love to do that.

to be competitive in open desert. $150k plus for the car alone. Short Course you could be competitive far cheaper.

so i’m having knee surgery next friday, and dropping my truck off to get the rear swing out made, i have a relentless fan front bumper in process. i’m thinking about selling my truck but i’ll have a few solid weeks of down time here.

doc literally decided today to do mcl as well as he called it a grade 2.5 tear.

 

[Mr. Nobody]

Ugh, that sucks. I've had knee issues my whole life. It hasn't come to surgery yet, but I know it's likely down the line. I'm not looking forward to it. Sorry to hear that you are at that point. What's the prognosis? Doc think it'll actually be beneficial?

yeah he’s pretty optimistic it’ll be good.

i have no acl, grade 2 pcl tear, grade 2.5/3 mcl tear, torn meniscus so this will be a night and day difference.

crazy enough i’ve spent day after day in the bike park, on the moto and snowboarding since the accident. just kinda got used to the shit knee but now it’s really been giving way and locking out.

 

[solscooter]

Howd you manage that? Bike accident?

 

[vacant.stare]

Howd you manage that? Bike accident?

yup.

Whistler canada '12. on my 5th park day, trying to catch a friend who just got there, blew a hand off the bar after a jump in the face of the next small roller. Went over the bars and hit a 4x4 bridge fence post at full speed, maybe wrapped my leg around it, but also flipped over the bridge and fell down a 15 foot cliff. So who knows where the injury actually occurred.

torn acl, mcl, pcl, sinal tibia avulsion, ruptured meniscus, torn patella tendon + dislocated knee cap.

 

[solscooter]

Fuck!

 

[vacant.stare]

yup its been fuuuucked. but not so fucked i go and buy some stupid ass ebike and ride around moped trails chugging sponsor cock.

 

[vacant.stare]

fucked around cleaning garage for the last time in quite some time and mounted the buggywhips to the trailer. not looking forward to rehab but excited to get back to being able to do shit before i’m too old. november will be my 45th birthday and i hope to rip some solid park laps before then.

got something cooking for the truck that i’m pretty stoked on, and so might be be selling some parts off. but such is life.

 

[2BigTaco]
