Broke it right around midnight. Slipped down a slope like everyone else.

Skateboarding for ~8 years and numerous sprains made me a girly ankle!

It was such a kick *** time though, and great meeting everyone.

It was great meeting everyone and getting a chance to run with all of you at uroc. I had a blast! My rig feels a little different though!

Hopefully some of you can make it back out there again Aug 19th and 20th. We will be back competing again with uroc extreme east series.

I would love to get the chance too screw around again with a bunch of you guys!!

Thanks again!!

Yeah we were all fine, the ambulance was for the judge he came flying down the hill when I rolled the rig off the backside dropping into the exit gate and lost the tire from the impact. Also broke a line going to the tranny cooler and smashed the mounts for the radiator!

The judge twisted his ankle on the landing.

I was fine after the roll i took a pretty good hit but no bumps or bruises, just a little stiff neck! but it was fun, just dissapointed i couldn't complete the last 3 obsticles o-well we will have her all fixed up for jellico tenn in 2 weeks!

Hey CJ,

How well did you guys do in the comp Saturday?

It was great meeting you and lots of the other UROC guys. Thanks to Pirate4x4 I feel like I've known some of the west coast guys for years, though we'd never met. It was nice to finally put a face with the names. All of the UROC competitors that I talked to were super friendly. Even when they were thrashing to get the previous days breakage fixed, all of the guys took time to talk and take pics, some even invited me into their pits and trailers to check out the carnage and watch them work to repair their trucks. Jason, Aaron, CJ, Dave(DSI), everybody I had the opportunity to talk to, truly a fine group of people.

I also talked with Glynn from the Xplex some Saturday morning, another super nice dude. He really enjoyed the RC trucks and said he planned to fix up a RC crawling course. Some of you local guys might wanna talk to him about that, he wanted input from us on how we wanted it built.

I had an absolute Blast! It was definitely worth the 8.5 hour drive!
