Hampton Roads Bash (Pic Intensive)

[El Pirata]

Hampton Roads Bash Day 1 (Pic Intensive)

Here is a taste of the stills I took today. The Anti Christ FLEW! Holy cow!!! 4 video cameras took footage and hopefully by tomorrow night or Monday I will have the video produced and posted. The turnout was not as expected however all of us had a blast.


The first run was at about 8:30 and this pic was taken of El Destructo's storm at 8:53...

Here is M&M trying to turn his storm into a tunnel rat:

Sky's Mugen flying.

After El Destructo completely destroyed his storm and mine I decided that he might have fun with my Inferno:

Buggies, truggy and MT's along with our modest turnout:

Close up of the fleet:

Pile of batteries needing to be charged for tomorrow:

El Destructo's nearly FUBAR'd center diff:

Taking down one of the storms in the hope that we can get 1 running using parts from both:

That's it for tonight. I have to go work some magic on the carnage so it will be ready for tomorrow.

Looks like that storm is going to need some work.

Glad you had fun.

 

[olds97_lss]

Cool stuff man. That burm with the tires in it looks like an insane jump.

Hope that's not your carpet your working on! My wife would shoot me...

 

[Ryhton]

Looks like you all had a good time I had to run in the rain today, looks like you had nice sunny weather.

So El who are all the players can you put names with the faces?

The final run of pictures and video for this bash should be something else. There were buggies flying everywhere. I'd give you a few teasers for the berm jump that El Pirata made, but I am having issues with my host at the moment.

Believe me when I say the video will be excellent with some really big jaw dropping footage.

Day 1 was a blast.

For me, I totally destroyed the back end of my Savage. Twisted an New Era aluminum shock tower, ripped the tabs off the rear diff casing, bent the tabs on the rear aluminum bulkheads, melted out the center of the spur gear. Basically, the Savage is sidelined until I can afford to repair it.

The MBX-5, was a beast and flew like a bird. I ended up snapping a lower a-arm and tearing the rod end for the forward chassis support brace. The buggy has been repaired and will fly again tomorrow.

I just can't get enough of Ep's hat, lol. I'm thinking of buying one have just writing Padiwan on it in huge letters, lol. Damn....that guys good at braking his Storm.this one's for him "Goddamn Storm!!!!" I hope we get a nice turn out like that for the AL bahs, how do we go about getting a banner for ours?

 

[Ryhton]

Sky thanks for the run down on names, and sorry to here about the max being in critical condition. That must a been one hell of a crash.

 

[newnitrofan]

Last but not least, as we are packing up some kid decides to try his little scooter on the jumps:

I'll list as much of the carnage as I can remember later.

 

[Waste Land]

Only one word can describe the sky and clouds outside and that "Ewwwwwwwww" Nice pictures EP. Lets hope SkyMaxx doesn't get brave under my storm cause he'll be the next to sream the fmous saying

 

[RatzoRC]

The buggies looked awsome. Cool track too.
As for the drivers, you guys need a Queer eye make over.

 

[Waste Land]

I have now come tot he conclusion that SkyMaxx is a hidden person. You can never see his face. His avatar, these pictures, past pictures....what are ya hiding sky?

 

[Digital Liquid]

I must say that the bash was definitely a BLAST. The buggies sure can soar. But I think the MT's did their fair share too. It was great to run w/ everyone and check out their rides. I look forward to the next bash. Anyway, here are a few of the pics I got:


This shows the first set of jumps. The buggies would really fly and land about where the red arrow is. The MT's would land about where the yellow arrow is. All of them got some pretty good distance.

Dirty Digi (my Savage 25)

Dynamic Digi on the Jumps

Skymaxx's Savage Hittin the Table Top

I wish this pic was better b/c he really got some height & distance. Mad props to you Killah!!!

EP's Infamous Buggy Blast.

Ok, here's a sneak peak of EP's jump. It was pretty sick. All I can say is MAD AIR. He pulled it off so nice that I was thinking about hitting it w/ my Savage. Hhmmm NOT! You guys will really like the video when it's done. Not only did he hit it once, but he also came back for seconds & thirds! Nice Job EP!

 

[Waste Land]

Do we have a new house jump or what? That is one of the sweetest pics ever.....the people demand more!

 

[NCNitro]

Yeah, I too would like to know how to get a banner for a bash. Since I only tried for about 4 months before the Winter Orlando bash??????????????????????????:shrug:

 

[Russ Winn]

All I can say, is that I had a blast on Sunday (broken buggy and all)...wish I could've made it both days.

It sucks here in Norther IL. It's been off and on rain for about 2 weeks. I had a chance to go out and beat my maxx's up yesterday for a couple hours... now it's raining again. I NEED VIDS to keep from going insane!!!!

 

[Digital Liquid]

I forgot to show everyone what we had for lunch on saturday. A Flame Broiled Savage w/ all the trimmings, grilled Skymaxx style. LOL.
