Yeah, I thought when both of them were coming down the hill together it would be a great photo opportunity. I also knew I could get them in the frame before I hit the button. Those uphill, downhill, jumping action shots are a bit harder to time.
I notice you didn't post the picture of me doing the BACKFLIP INDIAN AIR NO HANDED LANDER trick I did on the uphill triple. Thanks for respecting my privacy...gonna use that one to win the next Xgames.
I don't remember being picked on too much. I think you guys were so distracted with re-engineering those YZs that you really didn't notice the color of my bike. As a matter of fact, I clearly remember Dave calling me Scott - but I don't remember if he was coming out of one of those bike-mod trances or if it was right after he did the head slide planting Mikes bike into the uphill. I was really glad when I saw Dave was able to get up from that one!!! Which dirt bike magazine used to post a picture of a crash in each edition? If we had a picture...it would qualify.
Dave crashed on the double part of the triple. I don't think he was trying to triple, looked more like he was trying to do a forward flip or ride one of those stoppies up the hill.
Now if Mike's bike was front wheel drive, I could have gassed it and been ok! Sometimes you just need to get in touch with mother earth, man, ... did we touch.
