Yeah...........the announcer did get on everyone's nerve's with his "mad man", "holy moly", "endooooooo", and "miller" or "dynomax" side of the track sh*t! The track itself also really sucked, cause burnouts were all but impossible, as were fast stoppies. (no grip) But it was still a good time. I liked Cory's sickest trick winning watchtower too. Too bad his motor grenaded later on that day. But definately sick stunts by all!

I agree that the announcer sucked.
We couldn't get Kyle because the track owner didn't want to pay the extra $ to get him there.
It's really too bad, because the announcer was our top complaint.
Maybe next year...

I bet we probably missed a lot, but were only there from about 2:30 to 6 or so. Saw some neat stuff.
Yeah being that far from the action was kind of lame. And on a totally rubbered out track the conditions probably were tough. Especially when they covered THE WHOLE TRACK end to end with vht for the exhibition runs.
The guys I was with got lots of pics and videos. And busadave from CLSB being onhand, I bet he has a ton. That guy is photo takin' nut.
I was suprised at the turnout as well. Not only bikes EVERYWHERE (expected) but like families and little kids and old people hangin' out. Was just a little surprising, that's all.
Not bad for a first time. And yeah, all the 'staffers' hangin out next to the rail making the already limited view worse, did suck.
Also, never seen so many fiddys in my life.
Oh well, the ride was OK. Except all the friggin traffic everywhere? Who was that with the red Viper that kept getting pulled over and stopping traffic. Both traffic jams I hit that day were because of that guy. Once on the way to my buddies, then on the way up there an hour later further up the road! WTF.

I have some vid clips, I'll make one for you guys. The announcer was a 200 year old trac announcer. He was trying but getting a little excited about some simple ****............ "CHRIST AIR....WHAT BALANCE THIS GUY HAS!!!!!!!!!"
I'll post the vid on the site in a few days.

Not sure if you guys saw it later but he borrowed another 02 954 from one of the girls that rode up with us. She was a little hesitant. He asked to borrow my 954 but I couldn't just see that happening lol. He went and did the fastest wheelie competition and got to the front at the last second. We were kind of bummed because he's got up to 146 mph doing wheelie on the freeway for 3.3 miles.
The bike isn't totalled. The frame looks good. The tank is totally screwed and leaked all over. It was smashed completely in. His cowl is cracked and some fairings are cracked and his instrument panel is dangling but that was already superglued on. Also his fairings are all scratched up and the right one is cracked. Amazingly the front fairing doesn't even have a scratch on it. That bike wasn't new. Thats his stunting bike. He just put all new fairing on 2 days earlier. It used to be the black/silver.
Now you all know why we call him CRASH!

All in all Rob has 6 confirmed accidents. Now you know why we all call him Crash :P He had been practicing lots of tricks with his partner but the officials told him it was single only. He got flustered and had kinda just wing it. The first accident was caused by his exhaust pipe hitting the ground. He brought the bike up too high going too fast and it tipped over and that was that. After that the president of Rough Riders ran out there and so did another friend of ours. Amazingly he got back on and tore a wicked wheelie back down the track and hit an ENDOOOOOOOOOOO(shameless announcer joke) and the wheele just wouldn't grab any traction. He fell off immediately but his bike kepy going and smashed into the tower. We were told later that they put down this chemical in the waterbox area and thats probably what caused that one.

Hey, glad to hear that his is ok and that the bike was not that smashed up. Looked like just the tank and maybe the airbox.
Have him hit me up with an email when he gets a chance. Gimix@rpmboyz.com

yep
Don't think people didn't want to.
During the brief and few silences fans would yell out.
"SHUT UP"
"IS HE GETTING SOME REALISTATE?"
"HOW LONG IS THE TRACK"
He did his best for not knowing much, I'll give him that. Just need to get a pro or someone up there that knows what to do for MC duties. To bad that Kyle couldn't make it.

It seemed like there was about 200 stunt bikes in the pits and only about 35 competing.
This was my first show Ive attended and Ill be back if they do it again.
Did anyone hear about the bikes that got stolen? Some guy was pulling in when we went to pull our bikes out of the asphalt, he said his bike got ripped off, lined up behind a hotel. The police found it and got it back for him. He said they found 5 Suzukis at that hotel that were hot. Those were probably the guys names being announced over the PA with licence #s, my guess anyway.
I can mention a few kick as dudes only by bikes. In the amatuer a guy on a R1 hoppin around like it was a trampolean(sp) the guy on the Triumph (ouch), All the pros, all the guys practicin. It was great. There had to be a couple a thousand people, anyone know the attendance?

kyle is one of the best announcers...every moroso show he tears it up on the mic and gets the crowd into it and makes them laugh. I wonder what happened to him..i'm sure I will hear about it when he gets home..
