Default RE: SEPT. - OCT. Best jump constest(extended until OCT. 30th)

just a heads up...some people are talking about maybe breaking alot of stuff making their vids.... this is a best jump contest not a best crash contest...I will be voting for the person who has the best jump ( this means the best actuall jump, landing and driving off with min breakage)...have fun peoples....


Just incase you were wondering the talley of my breakage making my video for the previous contest....1 pinion gear $6, center diff planetary gears $11...I asked my camera man how much I was landing on the throttle...he said a few times...so who knows, if I coulda seen it landing maybe no breakage

Hey Eddie could do a contest of the best Himoto commercial video, with a 3 month deadline only if at least 3 or more people try and make one for the grand prize by the deadline.

Yep. OK, cool. Of course this one won't see any jumps or possibly any dirt unless it is on the road. She may be a shelf queen too! But I will make another one for just tearing ***** up and jumping.

sorry Mark...but thats pretty much what the contests are about...its marketing...sure himoto wants us to have fun and make videos...but its a form of advertisement...what better way to show off their products then to have their customers show off their rides...

Actually, those pics are outdated. I actually lowered the body quite a bit and slapped some low profile(anaconda) tire on her. I will be shooting vids this weekend.
