OK, I will try to keep this to the best shots I got. Lighting was tough...

These were some of the lines in the woods. Um, yeah...

[typeone]

so rad.

The final stage was man made and proved very easy for the pros, but it made for some great photo ops.

That was amazing. I must say we were both unprepared for the hiking required, but we made it.

Good god that is insane.

I agree, by far one of the best motorsport spectator events I've seen! We waited at section 1 and watched a few green and blue riders before making our was to section 2. By section 3, the pro riders started to filter in...which was exciting for sure. Worked out good and saw a mix if pro and other riders all mixed in for the rest of the sections. I have a ton of hand held GoPro videos, I'll try and pick a few and post them. Got a sick fall in section 5 I think...I thought the bike was done (Repsol Pro #15) with broken parts. Next section, his bike appeared to be perfect again? Do they switch bikes with the support guys helping them?

So pissed I did not make this, couldn't pull it off with the kids. Looked like a blast. Damn, the thighs on that repsol rider in the last pic...wtf.

Toni Bou. The man.

I literally cannot fucking believe the patience, skill, balance and control willing to do this shit.

[Chippertheripper]

Oh sick. You know when??

[Paul_E_D]

[Chippertheripper]

My people are saying 6/24. The RI enduro is 6/25 right next door.
I'll be looking to hopefully make a weekend of it with the pachaug crew. Fingers crossed.

Looks like this is a natl level event, and not the FIM worlds. I'm sure the spectating will be just as good, the attendance might be lower though.

Will be there. Thanks for posting.
