Default Some photos from our SF Baja get together.

8 of us got together at Ocean Beach in San Fransisco on Sunday.
We had a great time and tore the heck out of the beach.

The beaches up here in the north have tons of empty space. Its cold and foggy much of the time. There are miles of beach that few use unless its perfectly sunny out.

That breaker wall does seem incredibly fun, though I'm too much of a chicken to risk my baja on something like that lol. I'll definitely do it with my T maxx though

So, out of eight buggies, how much damage? Some of those landings could don't have been forgiving.

Here is the damage to my car-

Hit Eddy's car at full speed and tore my wheel off with disk brakes - about $60




Dented the pipe finally, I have been bashing pretty hard since I finished this build back in early October, and until this day, no damage, but I was pretty hard on it, and i am not surprised that it did get damaged.



Surprisingly, I did not destroy any dogbones, I have destroyed the prototypes I have of the beefed up ones (waiting for the Gen. 2) and with the stock HD's I almost always break a few, but this time out, I guess I was spared, we really did not do a whole lot of jumping though.

Cant wait for next month. Hey zx10r203, you getting one soon? A few of us down in the south bay (me) will be going up if you get your Baja in time.

We both are, but mine are fairly different looking to some degree, with some specific design intentions, I have thrown two engineers at the problem and came up with a pretty cool dogbone. Phats and I have been in close communication on the dogbone thing to be sure we are not stepping on each others toes. There is plenty of room for both of us, and I think we will both do well with our respective designs and material choices.

I can't wait to see what you guys come up with. I'm also tired of breaking Dogbones.
