Bucket Pics

[gav]

Think for the 55 minute endurance race a four stroke may be in order. ahem...cough...shuffle....

[F5 Dave]

Why? better fuel economy or something?

In all the GPs (usually about 40min) & the 2 hrs endurance events over the years I can think of about 2 that have been won by 4 strokes.

We had a great day trail riding but you can't be two places at once.

Notice the HUGE amount of front wheel slide!!

I remeber exactly when i did that too!!

[Wasp]

pah it was looking shitty so i stayed in bed knew by about 2 i shoulda come out but by then it was too late.

Next time eh?

[Rashika]

holy shite...you guys call that a racetrack? wheres the flaggies, and the those bloody white lines must be a killer at times and wheres the runoff (just as well we have one eh kickaha and dangerous? )

man give me Ruapuna anyday, we dont know how lucky we have it down here eh?!

So who else is coming down for the battle of the buckets? You NEED to try a real track after looking at that

what are "flaggies"?... run off??? what for??

were there white lines?..where?..(oh that's right , skunk made his own run off....)

[Wasp]

there is a run off, its over the curb, through the trees down the drop and into the pits....

[bungbung]

Nice wheelie.

The zip file contain the original 3gp which will play with recent versions of quicktime.

sounds like a great shortcut...maybe we should mention that to the new Ruapuna track creators (if they ever decide to do it). Be exceptioanlly useful for those who ....errrr... find themselves walking the big walk back to the pits from the back of the B track

[F5 Dave]

I've done that walk from the B track (pushing a bike that was in the lead of the BOB many yrs ago, until it went to sleep) & it is a way. The carpark is a pissy little track, but ok for a fill-in until we can afford/convince our way back onto some more kart tracks.

Only person has attempted that so far. One of the trees foiled his plans.

Nice clip Bungbung.

yup, done the walk a few times...as the bucket photographer that is! Not pushing a bike, hopefully THAT doesn't happen.

yeah, shame you guys dont have a good track....we are double blessed down here to have both Ruapuna and Levels close-ish by
