H-Bomb Freestyle @ the NQRA

[Pappy]

John Guetter and friends showed up for a show at this years NQRA round #5 in Virginia Beach.

[Pappy]

After prepping the landing ramp, the launch ramp was in place. John Chandler was the first out of the gate and wanted to check things out! That boy has a hell of a way of checking things out:D

[Pappy]

A few of the racers from the days event wanted a stab at that ramp!

[Pappy]

After adjusting the ramp, the rider took several practice runs getting a feel for the landing and take off.

[Pappy]

I was grateful for the practice as I wasnt fully prepared to be shooting at night, especially when my subject is 35 feet over my head:devil:

[Pappy]

They made it look too easy and I couldnt wait for some tricks to be unleashed!

[Pappy]

It wasnt long before things started happening and the crowd was eating it up!

[Pappy]

Im not sure of the local riders names but they had a blast!

[Pappy]

Everytime they would pull a trick the crowd would gasp!

[Pappy]

Another photographers flash helps aluminate the rider!

[Pappy]

Some of the locals werent real comfortable and attempted tricks, but I give them each due credit for even hitting that jump...at night...in the sand!

[Pappy]

Ive been waiting forever to get these guys in front of my lens...Id love to shoot them in better lighting conditions!

[Pappy]

superman!

[Pappy]

What the heck is he holding on with:eek2: :D

[Pappy]

Awesome...thats all I could think of:p

[Pappy]

The riders really got going after they warmed up to the jump

[Pappy]

I couldnt do that with my quad on the ground and out of gas:p

[Pappy]

Rider #28 from the days MX races was pulling tricks and grinning ear to ear!

[Pappy]

Jon is taller then the others and it threw off my camera setting;)

[Pappy]

Now I did do this once....but I didnt land as pretty as he did:(

[Pappy]

Heel clicker!

[Pappy]

I dont know how you guys do it:D

[Pappy]

You will have to fill me in on what some of these tricks are called!

[Pappy]

Nutz I tell ya:p

[Pappy]

hang on to her Jon!!

[Pappy]

maybe this is why I use a gripper seat cover:devil:

[Pappy]

:eek:

[Pappy]

Sterilizer.....which he continued as he rode all the way back to the staging area!

[Pappy]

This was pretty cool. His feet was moving pretty fast too:devil:

[Pappy]

Jon waving to the cheering crowds!

[Pappy]

awsome pictures pappy. yea it was really cool to finally meet you. i thougth there was going to be a few more exriders there but no one said anything. it was a pretty cool event but the ramp was only set at 65 when its made for 85. the next time we do something on the beach we're going to put plywood down and corragated steel for the runway then we'll be able to go as big as we usually do :macho

[Pappy]

well, I promise to try and travel to anywhere close you guys are preforming and do better with the pictures. the nighttime shooting is iffy at best.


you guys did great under the lights and in the sand, but yes, i agree that a better run up area would have helped a ton!

[bignorm]

wait a minute therer were local riders there like people other than the bomb squad guys??????

[Dan_Guetter]

yea i believe there was..........

[sparky450AR]

Great pictures pappy, i know how hard it is to get good clear shots. Thanks a lot! That track looks like a blast!

where is the next national, with tim and gust?

[bignorm]

[Ryan]
