All in all we had a blast.

The favorite gun was the Walther P-22 which costs nearly nothing to shoot and is just plain fun.

Some of my favorites.

As you can see we had a great time.  We also nearly froze to death, but it was worth it.

Gravel Pit Shooting – 11/21/2009 (49 Photos)

Thanks Tyler and Jason for a FANTASTIC Fall riding session.  I think we all agree a great time was certainly had. It was getting dark though, which made for some tough shots, but thanks to my prime 50 f/1.4 it worked out well. The depth of field on these is almost non-existent, but they turned out quite well despite all of that.

If you see any pictures you want, let me know which ones and I’ll send you the originals.

I normally post some of the photos in my blog post, but again, I’m feeling less lazy, but I’m not fully recovered yet.   That’s okay though because you can see all of them from the photo gallery.

Jordan River OHV Park – 11/07/2009 (164 Photos)

Anyway, enough with my rambling. Check out this bike.

2010 Yamaha YZ450F – Video

In the beginning, though I loved the Great Outdoors (GTO) DVD’s, they were too short.  You paid a lot of money for 30 or so minutes of cliff notes motocross.  In 2002 when I purchased my first DVD, I actually called No Fear and complained.  I think the DVD was around 38 minutes long and cost me $25 (if my memory isn’t completely failing me). Needless to say, I wasn’t very thrilled.  The DVD was still fantastic, but the cost to good ratio was pretty low — still good viewing, but spendy.

Fast forward to 2008 (2009 now) and after giving the 2008 video a watching, the first thing I noticed was how long it was.  Needless to say I was thrilled.  1 hour and 24 minutes of heaven.  The price is the same, but the viewing pleasure was 10 fold, as I couldn’t get hung up on the cost to length ratio as previous years had me doing.

One of the notable features of the film is the different angles and parts of the tracks that they are able to capture.  For the most part, I can recognize any of the current 12 National tracks, but a few of them I was unable to recognize due to the different sections the footage was from and the different way they made the film.  A lot of the footage was close-up, which was very cool.  So in short, the shooting and angles are fantastic.

Though the racing in the 2008 MX National season was pretty boring (perfect season for J. Stewart, and nearly perfect for R. Villopoto) the film was still really exciting.  The GTO film crew managed to turn a pretty boring season into a thriller.  For the first few rounds I was actually on the front of my seat excited to see who would win, even though I knew for the most part what was going to happen.

So my suggestion?  If you like Motocross, and I do, I recommend this DVD.  I would rate it a 9/10.  It would be higher if the racing was more exciting — but that’s not the films fault.

You can pick up the film from No-Fear –> The Great Outdoors: The Destroyers

This is a fantasticly entertaining video.  The driving is awesome, and the cat and mouse chase through the dirt is phonominal.  Though they could have shown more of  RC — but alas beggars can’t be choosers, and quite honestly I’ll take what I can get.

Enjoy the video.  I know I did — Oh and turn up your speakers because the audio is a little on the quiet side.

The video shows him doing some cool whips, but for the most part is an interview with updates about what his plans are.  Most notably:

• He will be competing in the X-Games
• He will race a few select Outdoor Nationals (though he didn’t say which)
• He will race the 2010 Supercross season.

Here’s the link to the video.

Kevin Windham Interview

Well, unknown to me up to this point, Alli Sports (Alliance of Action Sports) has been saving them for us all to view online.  Wooo Hooooo!!!

Due to the fact that the 2nd moto’s are being televised on Speed or NBC, they are only posting for our viewing pleasure moto 1, which is fine by me, and is certainly better then nothing at all.

So, Thank YOU Alli Sports and for those taking the time read my post — > Here’s the link:

2009 Motocross Race Archive

Anyway, check out another very sweet video off YouTube of James showing how a bike should be ridden.  This is at his home in Florida.

I guess James is having a ride day at Milestone MX in SoCal.  I wish I lived closer so I could attend. See the video for the full details.

Ride Day on June 20, 2009

Well, in my quest to find out if Kevin is going to be racing any or all of the 2009 Locus Oil AMA Pro Motocross season, I’ve found quite a few very cool videos that I just had to share.

I was asked recently why I like Kevin so much, and I had to think of a way to quantify in words what about him is so likable.  My response was that he’s just a normal guy.  He has loads of talent, races professional MX/SX, yet he’s still just a normal guy.  He’s nice, he’s approachable, and he’s real — besides, if you’ve ever watched him ride at all, you know he is very smooth and fun to watch.  Anyway, I thought some of these videos kind of show some of his personality and might give others a glimps into why I cheer for him even when he’s not doing so well.

First up is a Geico Powersports commercial — I’ve never seen it on TV, but I wish I had.  Sorry, I couldn’t embed the video.

This next video is an event One Industries held for their sponsored riders — I think I need to get sponsored by OI!!!

ONE Industries/SuperCar Life Experience – Las Vegas Supercross 2009 from One Industries on Vimeo.

As the 2009 Supercross season came to a close in Las Vegas last week, ONE Industries wanted to finish out the year with a bang. So, we invited some of our sponsored athletes out for a day of fun. What can you do for guys who have done just about everything? We put them behind the wheel of the world’s finest supercars and turned them loose on the racetrack!

ONE Industries would like to thank all of our riders for a great Supercross season and send out a special thanks to the Supercar Life crew for putting on such a great event. Everyone had the time of their lives as evidenced by their huge smiles and bench racing that continued through the end of the day.

For more info about the Supercar Life Experience, check out www.supercarlife.com and www.ONEIndustries.com

And finally this last one is a video interview done by www.racerxonline.com. Too bad he didn’t get to have the fans choose which bike he would be riding… That would have been cool. Oh and don’t miss the awesome KDub nearly upside down whips…

Coincidentally, I have still not discovered if Kevin is going to be racing any or all of the 2009 motocross season.  I’m also wondering about James Stewart…  So if you know about either of them, let me know…  I did however, find out that Chad Reed is racing, so that should add to the excitement.
