Thought I'd try posting here. This is one of my favorite pics from riding "back in the day". I think it was taken summer of 98. This jump was just a big single, so the landing was a little rough. Now it's a double, and the track probably hasn't been used 4 times in the last 6 years. That makes me sad :(

I know it's not professional grade or anything, I just think it's a cool looking shot.

I got these at Redbud this year during Saturday practice.

I have a few shots of guys "Using it all up".

The shot of Chad Reed was just cool.

I have one of those shots also. Myself and one of my buds were out at Cross Creek near Austin, and I was 'warming up his bike'. I shorted a step down, and this was the result:

put a few rubber marks on the underside of his fender, and a nice caliper dent in the muffler.

That's Lorocco's Leap at Redbud. If you've never seen it in person, you just don't know what you are missing.

The pic of Millsaps landing is also at LL.

Alessi was the only "lites" rider to attempt the big jump in practice, broken wheel. RC also broke a wheel Saturay, as did many others.

I also have some shots of JBS hangin it out on the big jump.. I'll go thru and find a good one and post in the next few days.

Or you can just go have a look for yourself. If the server will stay online, that is.. http://home.quickinet.net/gallery/main.php/v/Redbud/Redbud+Practice/
