Open Practice and Intermediates

Begin

Yeah, the next group of pictures are a bit of a jumble. Some of them are from the warmup session, some of them are from the actual contest. I honestly don't know who is who. But that's never stopped me before.

Open Mockery

Mic Checker, Master of Ceremonies and all around announcer guy. Also owner of a big, orange helmet.

This kid started a revolution. Soon after him, everyone wanted a baloon tied to them so they could race through the park like six year olds. I'm not sure if it was a good revolution, but it was a revolution none the less.

My theory is that the baloon makes him lighter so he got more boost for this transfer. Either that or he's moderately talented. I'm betting on the baloon.

I know for a fact that this happened during the contest, just like I know for a fact that you're all surprised that I can't make a joke out of a pole being in the way of my shot. Dude, it's early and Sunday, even I have to rest sometime. Barspin flyout by some kid whos forks don't match his bike.

Whenever I see someone doing a can-can I imagine them in a large, feathered headdress and a sequined bikini. Then I punch myself repeatedly in the face because it's extremely rare that anyone I'd want to see in a sequined bikini does a can-can. None of that's true, but you've now pictured this cat dressed like a vegas showgirl. You want to gouge out your eyes, but the pictures are in your brain. YOUR BRAIN!!!!!!

While the intermediate practice was going on, there was a vert session going on. Here we have the Red-Headed step child of the Redline team (seriously, the guy is good, but he gets no mention) flying out of the 13', while a guy with a test pattern helmet who's name may or may not be "Marcus" looks on. Also, "My remote flash is SOOOOOOOO BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG."

I think that having one leg of your pants rolled up means that you killed someone in a drive-by, or maybe that your pants are too big. Feeble.

Ok, I'm 6'3" and I feel just slightly rediculous on your average 20.5" bicycle. This cat looked to be about 9'8" - 9'9". This prompted The Mrs. to wonder why more people don't ride bigger bikes. Don't look at me, man, I ride a K2, I can't talk about anyone.

This kid is either launching the mother of all transfers or he's about to introduce his tookis to the coping.
heh
"Tookis"

We here at The Mystic Negro Universal Command and Center For "We Don't Need To Buy It, We Have Power Tools, We Can Build It Ourselves" are doing some renovations. Because of this I find myself kind of in the market for a truck, probably a 97 - 04 Dodge Dakota or a 92 - 95 Chevy/GMC 1500. None of that has anything to do with this picture, but come on, it's an icepick. Once you've seen one weilded by a nekkid Sharon Stone...
