Friday July 25th, Miller Heep

[Shahram]

Okay....phew! My computer hates Photobucket. It took WEEKS to upload a few photos!


Here we go...

Airing down in Lockwood Valley.

Maybe aired down a bit too much, Ian breaks a bead in the first quarter mile.

A View From A Heep

Hey, I think that used to be an 80!

Lunchtime, me and the boy headed down to the creek to dip our feet. He asked me to catch him a crab. Stupid beach kids!

La Vaca, pulling Ian up as best she could (but not good enough!).

Keep trying, Vaquita!

Glam shot...

I'll post some videos here in a minute or two...

Here's a video of Ian on the last rock ledge before his fuel pump pooped.


Ian taking a different line, and making it.


I take the easy way out.


More in a couple of hours...

 

[Shahram]

Sam's is over 100 MB, so Photofxxxit won't host it. I'll see what I can pull somewhere else...

BTW your easy line almost caused some more rocker damage.

You mean more damage than the guy at the Glendale Galleria caused?

I wish I could say that I tore my flairs off on the Dusy, but the truth is some a-hole ripped them off with his bumper while I was buying cargo shorts at the Gap.

Shahram - did you switch to Js? I thought you had heavies? Or having no flares fooling my eyes?
Awesome getting the photos up!

NIce bro, look forward to seeing more and the 100mb

Yep...heavies in back, mediums up front. Removing flairs gives the appearance of more wheel well space.

Here's Sam's last ledge climb up Miller.
Clicky-icky-icky

My brother, Shahin, brings up the rear in his Heep. He kept up pretty nicely, for having a 4 cyl., very short lift, 31" tires and open diffs. The little Heep does well.

Nice stuff. You guys have made me want to go run Miller again, been too long.

 

[PKP80]

Very cool
Any video of my rig pulling the 40 up the hill? I think I could have pulled him the whole way up if my lockers would have decided to work that day.

gotta say that it's pretty impressive really to see an 80 tow a rig up a mountain that some folks would have a hard time climbing on their own...

That's the shame of photography and video. It flattens trails, making things look easy that are hard to walk up. If you watch the videos, you can hear Jonas trying to catch his breath. That's because he had to climb ahead of the trucks to get the shots, and the terrain was difficult to climb up. Straight up and down with ledges everywhere and tons of sandy, loose scree.
