I voted DV and frankly, it was his latest performace that did it, I was sure Hamblin had it wrapped-up with the infamous "roost look back".

 

[Okiewan]

22 views and no votes? Ahh.. must take time to consider... I get it.

 

[super rat]

There you go Okie, I know these polls are pretty important to ya. :laugh:

 

[Okiewan]

Don't make fun ratboy, this is important stuff.

 

[oldguy]

That was a tough one to decide Hamblin had such great style and the roost was flyin but overall the Frenchman shines thru :ride:

 

[JWW]

Link failed for me

 

[Okiewan]

Humm... got a quciktime plug-in?

 

[Chili]

Vive le garter snake!

 

[JPIVEY]

Metzger at it again

 

[JWW]

all better

 

[TwinSpar]

I gotta go with Hamblin. His second one was so life-like and it reminded me of someone I've seen on the track... head lolling around..... hmmmm.... OH! I know! It was a perfect imitation of me ;)

Now I know why this poll is so important.

 

[gwcrim]

I voted for "crunchy" peanut butter, "pickup truck", and Ronald Reagan.

 

[cr250can]

After very careful consideration and knowing how much rode on this vote I went with LeCobra. Mostly be cause of his flawles pelvic-bone-touching-the-cross technic. :nod:

 

[High Lord Gomer]

Both were good, but Hamblin on the four stroke was so believable...I had to go with him!

 

[CaptainObvious]

DV12 m'a incité à rire mon âne au loin avec sa position grille.

 

[Papakeith]

Twinnie, you actually ride? I've yet to see you on two wheels.

 

[MrLuckey]

DV's second performance was obviously inferior and therefore deserves the win in this prestigious event!

 

[Tony Eeds]

Boss: You are a bad man! Yet again, dial-up bites me in the butt.

I will put this on my list of things I need to do next week when I go out of town and spring for a motel with high speed internet ... :)

 

[Camstyn]

While both were impressive, DV's holeshot technique was the clincher for me.

 

[Detonator]

Captain Obvious...whichever translation software you're using...don't.

"DV12 m'a incité à rire mon âne au loin avec sa position grille," literally translates as "DV12 made me laugh my donkey far away with his roast position."

Bite the wax tadpole

BTW, DV's got nothin' on me in the goon department. 2 hours into a harescramble and I'm 20 times more spodely.

 

[Patman]

Hamblin did a MUCH better job of impersonating me than DV, he gets my vote.

 

[CaptainObvious]

Damn that babel fish...Wolf told me not to use it :|

It was supposed to say (in English) "DV12 made me laugh my ass off with his standing burn-out."

 

[evenslower]

I've got to go Hamblin. The way he roosts the tops of the jumps in both vids and the look back are too classic. Then he finishes strong with the hessian salute. DV was solid, but Hamblin brought it big.

 

[YZ165]

Le Garter hands down.
