I guess with 7 years of videos , a clothing line and other stuff ... and really only being the 1 guy out there doing all this ( before Akraix) .... that would generate a lot of Cha Ching !!!.

i'd probably assume he bought it, unless helicopter rental companies let you take their whirlybird to the paint shop for some custom graphics

Why not? They look like die cut vinyle stickers, I'm sure they'd peal right off after.

Looks like he "rented" a chopper and put stickers on it......I would highly doubt he bought that chopper.

02-08-2005, 12:45 PM
That definitely is an awesome machine.

he'd have to get a pilot anyway, or another person to film while in the chopper.

But if Wes can afford 2 cranes, 1 MASSIVE foam pit, like 12 ramps, property for the ramps/foampit, expensive *** cameras, equipment to keep up the bombshelter, and all that other stuff he has, then he can afford a helicopter. dont forget, he owns hbombfilms and Division four clothing, LOTS of people buy that stuff. in other words, that mans loaded.

that probably is a rental. they do look like peel off stickers, plus all those ugly numbers on the tail end. if it was his couldnt ya just get rid of those?

Chef
02-08-2005, 09:11 PM
Whats such a big deal about Wes being able to buy that? Like Popo said, it cost like 50 grand...Think of all the people you see driving Corvettes around. Except for this will actually make him money.

Nice price tag . :cool:

Everytime I see a helicopter , I kick myself in the *** for not going for my pilots license when I had the chance . $45 000 +Canadian to get your license to fly one of those babies . Mom and Dad were gunna pay for it when I was 16 .... but me being an idiot said no . :(

to answer your question mark the woods warriors dont have the best footage in the world, but i like to pop it in every once in awhile just to check out all the 2 strokes. plus ya gotta love all the woods action. it was really before the time of the 400. there might be a couple in the 2nd one but its ruled by the Rs. and that makes it worth my time:D

The thing I like about wes is that he dont go around acting like he the chit. He dosnt go around braging about all his shiot and stuff. Its actually hard to pick him out of a crowd when he dosent have his camera! When he filmed at the Paducah TT national me and him talked outside of tim farrs trailer for about 45 min. Overall hes a really nice guy! If your reading this wes I hope you come out to Paducah again this september! :D :cool:

I buy a shatload of hbombfilms/d4 stuff- Huevos 1-7 DVDs, Dirtriot DVD, bombsquad DVD, 9 D4/hbomb shirts, Bombsquad graphics, 3 stickers... this is before he dropped prices on the previous huevos videos so i paid prolly around $25 more than you would now (no biggie). well, noone else in my school has these shirts, and thats fine with me...

Dan, Jon, and Derek Guetter left h-bomb films and started their own company called Akraix. They do mainly freestyle stuff, but they sponsor Sage Baker as their mx rider.

www.akraix.com


Derek- are you only racing at Glen Helen this year, or do you plan on doing more racing than freestyle?
