It gets pretty steep at the top, like tip over backwards steep (for a short WB anyway), but the climb up to that isn't to bad. I don't know what to compare it to. I think we did steeper stuff elsewhere.

Speeking of tip over backwards, does anyone have pics or video of the yellow 40 rolling over backwards on Poison Spider on Saturday? Or the roll in the hot tub on Hells Revenge? I know Kevin (bigbluefj) has it.

Anyone have a good way of posting video?

Most sections of it, you have to lean forward and help with your hands to walk up it.......and we watched two turboed 22re minis do it full throttle and get 8ft wheely's at the top last year..... :eek: :eek: :eek:

Make sure they are .jpg's and they will mostlikly need to be reduced in size.

Click the "Go Advanced" tab

Click "Manage Attachmetns"

Click "Browse"

Select the pic and "Open"

Then click "Upload"

Click "Close Window"

Click "Submit Reply"

should work.

Tried that already, it times out on me. Maybe I need to reduce them somehow, can you zip a single file?

try a search for this program IrfanView. It lets you reduce the resolution so the file is smaller than 90KB (I think thats the magic number). I found it in a thread earlier when I did a search for "reduce pic size"

Thanks texican, thats it.

Edit: heres the thread. https://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.php?t=2292&highlight=reduce+pic+size

Hope it helps. :cheers:
 
Great shots ginericfj80. Thanks for sharing...

That Hell's Gate can be hairy if you try to outsmart your spotter.

Especially the ones you took. :) When Freddy did his fancy driving I was shooting film so I should have those back in the next day or so? The called and said one roll was wrecked I hope it wasn't that one.


"That Hell's Gate can be hairy if you try to outsmart your spotter."


That is an understatement. Dan George was our spotter. On the way down he told me he wouldn't spot me because I didn't have a front locker. So NorCalDoug stepped up to the plate and said he'd spot me. All of a sudden when it was my turn I saw a conversation between Dan and Doug and I was headed up the Gate under spotting direction of Dan. He did an awesome job! However, when we got to TipOver Challenge he said, "I've always wanted to see an 80 roll!" I don't know if he was joking or not. It may have changed my confidence level had he uttered those words before I took the plunge.
