 You might wind up like my buddy and engine builder. This is him at Billings staying true to his Team Logo "Third Gear Pinned" You know you got too much air when you have to look around your boots to see where you're going.  :lol: :-o

Caption:  I went to the concert Saturday and couldn't find a parking spot so I thought I would park at the top of this "little hill".

I witnessed that ride, crazy. The motorcycle club I belong to promtotes that hillclimb annually and has for the past 90 years, yup thats right 90 years. The hill is privately owned and is only ridden on once per year, while many would like to attempt it, it is located on private ground and is watched over pretty closely to ensure there is an even playing field for all competitors.

This coming weekend is the famous Widowmaker hillclimb in Croydon UT, should be an outstanding event.
Live today, for tomorrow may never come

  It is awesome, but Thomas is just one of many "crazy" Pro riders. They really are more into good competitive races over any ego boosts. These guys have plenty of crazy rides, but very seldom brag on them or posterize their shops with high-flying action shots. (Like I definately would) Unfortunately to be this entertaining and at this level of competition, riders do get hurt. Not too often fatal, but career ending and life-changing crashes happen sometimes. Not every race, but much too frequently. Those guys put it on the line every time they ride. All you guys who have never been, should go and see one live. Videos on youtube do not do a Pro race justice.
