No, I remember Ted saying "Tippy" more than once in that section!

Or wait, maybe that was "Tipsy"?

"Very very tipsy!"

Hmmm. I'll have to think about that one.

EDIT: I just realized Carter posted that pic; I assumed Ted posted it, as he likes to do those things too. So I'll edit again when/if Ted responds to my comments. For now, act like Ted posted it.

Haha. That's hilarious.

Two problems I see though:
1) I thought I recall you saying afterwards about that spot "it never felt bad". (Or are those John's words in the thought bubble?)
2) When was the last time you ever saw the Gecko to ANYTHING fast? Much less in two seconds! Takes longer than that just for the power to get to the wheels after changing directions sometimes!

And in your defense Ted, you woulda walked up that section pretty quick and easy with either hydro assist, more left turn, or both. We just couldn't quite get you over to that sweet spot at the front left.

Hey Carter-- Soup Nazi say.. "No Soup for you!!" Your vids are marked as private.

I don't exactly recall exactly but there was one point where it did get pretty light on my side but I never lifted a tire so all is good. Steve's right, I had no left turn so it wouldn't hold the rock!! Damn it!

you guys shoulda' heard my passenger...

I had to turn to him and ask him if he trusted me... He responded very weakly: 'Yeah, but it's long damned way down"

for what it's worth, I might been a little tipsy, I mean tippy.

Thanks for the heads up on the public/private thing Ted. I pushed them up via Picasa, and it was supposed to make them public automagically. They should be fixed now.

Well I managed to go all of GSMTR and then almost a week back home before getting hit with poison ivy. Guess I hit something while unpacking. Its all over my left forearm.

If you guys want to see a couple of videos of the rock bouncers going up the top of trail 3, I have a couple posted over in the FLCA clubhouse:

FInally got the one uploaded that I really wanted. This is Ted's traverse of the open ridge from start to finish. We need to come up with a name for this section since it's only a tiny portion of the trail, yet it's the number one most referred to spot. Ya know, kinda like Ted's Turn.

Clearly this is the trail Hendog was referring to when he said "One side is open casket, the other side is closed casket!"

Haha. Yup, this is "that trail". Definitely one of those quotes that will stand the test of time I think (in our circles anyway).

*Hendog, can you set the record straight so I can tell the original story correctly; was it you or was it Roger that came up with that phrase? I have it in my mind that Roger coined that one. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[HENDOG]

Roger, but I have repeated it Many, Many Times!

Thanks for uploading Steve, great video.
