I feel guilty! Decided to detour and check it out while driving between jobs, ended up staying 3 hours, had to go hide in the truck, roll up windows to call one of my men so he would not here moto in back ground to tell him I could not make it to his job till tomorrow.

Cool vid, can't wait to see them line up on race day. Check the fence post sticking up in the corner in front of the finish line tower. I'd hate to see someone get impaled on that thing.
Keep in mind this is not the National track. Pieces maybe, but far from the actual track.


There will be more sand added, and another jump prior to the finish will make it a triple, so that the Pros land on the downside.


The fence post I didn't see that you speak of...it may be farther away than it appears. The course has to be fenced.


The jump exiting the sand will be bigger...On top of St.Helen's there will be a small double jump, and the turn will be further after the top.


The New sections, Saddleback will be deeper in the center, to allow better spectator viewing, and the new hill at Yamaha hill goes up, turns, and the riders can grab an extra gear prior to the triple step up.


They will again come from behind Mt. Whitney, and fly over it.

Simon..... how do you shoot hours of footage and edit it soo fast? Great stuff. If I didn't know better I woulda thought it was picture perfect out there today. The wind was blowing so hard people were walking around with goggles.

that's a great bar drag Austin Stroupe does about the halfway mark. Track looks fun. I'd better figure out a way to ride again...dammit.

Thanks Simon. I loved the video, but would have liked to have a more "on track" experience with less music and more sounds of the day. I turned off the sound at about the half way point. If someone would have just narrated behind the camera...it would have been better than the music....imho.

Beautiful movie, but I want to hear the hardcore sounds.

If that doesn't get you wound up to ride, I don't know what will. 5:00am here and I am tossing around the idea of throwing on my gear and doin' some hot laps around the neighborhood Smile

I feel like a moron. The whole time I'm thinking 51 is Villopoto not Stroupe until I see the #1 Kawi about half way through the video show up.

Great video, way better than most of the other RX Films. Nice to see a lot less of the slow-mo. Some is good, but not too much.

- Canard looks awesome

- Villopoto looks fast as always, seems like he might have gotten a bit taller?

- Awesome bar draggers by Stroupe

- Can't get over how much Weimer looks like Grant on the bike.

- Would be nice to see Hill in real-time speed, certainly has good form

I thought he took a nap in the whoop section, with some sleeping aid from Lapaglia(sp).

Hill, sure looks good on the Yamaha...


Can't figure why Lawrence, keeps looking back ?

Is it because he is getting caught, or because he is looking for the next victim to fuck with ?


Great job, great video...

Maybe J-Law is just taking the opportunity to see what it's like to pass someone outdoors.


(that was a pretty good cast)
