amen to that:p

when i was 14, a kid had a xr200 he wanted to trade for my killer pimp ymf200:o tree wheela:macho so we wnet to my farm and swaped bikes. i laid the bike down and he ran over his leg....all in the first corner we came to:p needless to say we didnt trade but riding a bike has been something ive always wanted to do and just cant get it done:D

[Quad18star]

The first Dirtbike I ever tried was my buddy's YZ426F . This is NOT a good learning bike . I'm short ( 5'8) and couldn't touch the ground , so I got my Buddy to kick it over for me . Once it started I swung my leg over , grabbed the clutch and nailed the throttle . As I darted towards the trees , I was thinkign to myself ( and thinking outloud) " Oh F**k , This Is gunna hurt" . I grabbed the front brakes just before I became "One" with the trees , Did a 90 degree turn , dumped the clutch and watched as the back wheel came out from under me , front wheel way in the air , and my face taking a dirt sample . Needless to say , I never rode anything on 2 wheels after that .

i agree, my uncle had one, i thought i was going to die when i rode it, i didnt think it was THAT fast, so i was just putting around till i got the hang of it, so as usual i opened it up, well when doing this it went into a wheelie and scared me chitless, i let off the throttle and find my self coming towards his truck, i grabbed the front brake and the front tire locked up and slid out from under me and i went down, bruised my butt cheek and my thigh :(

[brian-250]

Hmmmmmmmmmm, i had a friend go THOUGH a tree at a GNCC this year!!!!!!!:eek2: got any pics of that pappy????

[400exdad]

Nice Pics Pappy!

I've doctored on the best one.. :)

[Pappy]

ROTFLMAO!!!!

[BlazingYamahaYz]

awesome pics pappy!! what kind of camera are you using? i take it its a digital, but how did you time those so well? thats awesome.....

[Mxjunkie]

lol 400exdad thats pretty good :macho, arent they crf450s?

[Pappy]

i use a nikon D100 digital slr with an assortment of lenses. it is ok...i want a better one now.


the fact ive caught some of these pictures is pure luck and expierence. ive been shooting pictures for the last 20 years so i geuss ive learned where to be for the action:p

and the most credit should be for the guys IN the pictures...my job was easy:macho

those are the CLEAREST pictures i have ever seen from a digital camera! keep up the good work!

[Pappy]

they look alot better here on my screen at full size and resolution. i am still trying to figure out digital...and i practice all the time trying to get the most out of it. i have learned a few new things about digital that will hopefully let me do even better!

[AC 400 ex 02]

thats a sweet pic pappy, so clear

[Pappy]

thanks...

ive noticed a few quirks with digital that im not sure can be overcome within the level of camera i own. it may take money to get into a camera that will produce pictures as clear as my 35mm set up did. getting into digital on the pro level will net you a $20,000 camera body:p and thats not counting any lenses.


although the average person with a $200 digital camera can produce decent stills and might be lucky enough to overcome the damn delay those cameras have they just cant match 35mm. Fortunatley for us the industry and technology keeps getting better!

ofcourse it still takes a working knowledge of photography to produce consistant and good pictures all the technical stuff aside:p but with digital its so easy to practice and it doesnt cost you anything so thats a huge plus. i bet ive spent $10,000 on print film back in the day before i had images that id say were great:(

Dang! I knew I'd get that wrong! :) My weakness in the knowledge of bikes is showing.

[AC 400 ex 02]

i still have trouble sometimes with the delay and the clearness of the digital camera, that why i was suprised at the clearness, sometimes my still pics arent that good:o

[Pappy]

digital loves light. i have been using full manual mode to overcome some short comings in the matrix metering and its working really good i think.

try following the action with your camera and swing with the moving quad. it will help with the delay probelm
