Yes, my passenger and I were second in line, following Xped. I saw the whole thing. His rear passenger side tire was on the dirt, and when he went to turn, the rear didnt respond. Luckily there was no oncoming traffic, and enough spacing between he and I to keep everything safe. I took over the rest of the way up Stunt, given that I knew there was no way Xped wanted to keep leading at that point.

you should use imageshack.us and it will re-size them for you to your spec.

X-ped: Just finished the video....GREAT work! The music was perfect, the angles were good, and that fish lense was fun.

This thread has almost 30,000 views and I see no reason why this cruise shouldn't continue on a quarterly basis. What do you say?

Great video x-ped! We definitely have to keep these runs going; they're just too damn fun to abandon.
