Re: Cali Crawl on the 26/27

ummm ya i can go i just can t seem to submit my info!?!?!??!?

when i hit submit it says not found so what do i do?

i really wanna go so i need an answer!

Re: Cali Crawl on the 26 lyte Creek Near LA
 

It's about an hour from Anaheim. It's up there in the Cajon Pass in San Bernardino.
I just hope that some real rock crawlers show up this year. I thought that the coverage in Car Action was actually detrimental to the rc crawling sport because the respresentation was inaccurate of what true crawlers are made of. They should also do away with the Bruiser Pajero class....or at least focus more attention on the extreme crawlers.....if any show up.
Good luck out there Ty.....show them what Coloradans are made of.

Re: Cali Crawl on the 26 lyte Creek Near LA
 

ya i figued most of that out. thats tho dirk!

ya the coverage of the first one was a lil bleak. but the article in rcca is what got me interested in rc crawling in the first place 8O .

but i still need to know how i can submit my info?

Re: Cali Crawl on the 26 lyte Creek Near LA
 

Real Crawlers? Detrimental to the sport? You wan't to elaborate on that?

How is coverage in a national mag detrimental? What have you done? Put up or shut up!

Any time you want to go head to head bring it out here to Ca. Ty did.

Re: Cali Crawl on the 26 lyte Creek Near LA
 

Any updates on the event? Do you have any pics or details?

Hope you guys had fun!

Yeah we had a great time for a bunch of non-wheelin wanabe's :flipoff:

The turnout was not as big as we hoped for though. It was HOT, real hot, heat exhaustion hot. Ask me how I know.

Here's a link to some pics Hua took.

Re: Cali Crawl on the 26 lyte Creek Near LA
 

In my opinion crawlings crawling. Whether its done with a micro or a full size.

It's good to hear you had a good time. Keep it up. If you guys have another event, PinchFlat and myself would like to come up. It's good to meet everyone.

Thanks for the pics. Be sure to post the vids.....

Well I'm sure pics are cool. That board is just not the most user friendly thing I've ever used. I've tried on multiple occassions to log into it with no luck.

Oh well..... :roll:

If you guys get a chance to post some up here or have any ideas as to how to get and account on that board, that would be great.

Later

Rockpiledriver,
Give me a break, tough guy! :roll:

Re: Cali Crawl on the 26 lyte Creek Near LA
 

Opps, I guess I forgot one of these :flipoff:

Seriously though, those are some pretty harsh comments don't you think?

Answer the question. Why is it detrimental to the sport?

Re: Cali Crawl on the 26 lyte Creek Near LA
 

All I was saying is, and I think most would agree, that the rigs featured in last years article were not a very good representation of what most of us run. The rigs still had TXT skid plate servo gaurds, or whatever you call those rediculous rock spankers. So did some of the clods. I saw one or two worthy rigs of the bunch and I'm sure those couple couldn't hang at most of our events out here in CO. I never claimed to "do" anything but I do know a real rock crawling rig when I see one. I don't know what was out there this year but hopefully it was better than last.
I have had many people comment to me about that article and they laughed about it. People that I've talked with that saw that article all agree that the rigs in it didn't represent "hardcore" rigs. It's not only me that thinks that and now, most people that saw that article, think rock crawling is "lame".
Sorry if I hurt your feelings rockpiledriver....but obviously you are really on the defense about something. Maybe a small "drive shaft" or something.
"Put up or shut up?"......what ever! haha
And good for Ty for showing up. I just try and go to cali as little as possible. I grew up there and moved away for a reason.......mostly because of big talkers such as yourself!
No hard feelings but you started it man! I was just pointing out a fact.

so did I

:flipoff: :flipoff: :flipoff: :flipoff:

Re: Cali Crawl on the 26 lyte Creek Near LA
 

Cool, So now that we are on the same page. Why do you think national publication of the first ever organized RC crawling event is
"detrimental to the sport"?

Please answer the question.

Re: Cali Crawl on the 26 lyte Creek Near LA
 

Please answer the question.

?????
Ok mother.
But I think I already did. Every single person I talked to about that article tells me that the sport of rc rock crawling looks "lame". Come ON!!! They even pictured stock Emaxx's crawling. I think it may have turned people off to that side of rc. If the article had pics or "real crawlers", it would have sparked an interest on the extreme looks alone. Most of the rigs pictured were had fancy paint jobs and that's about it. Maybe it wasn't "detrimental" to the sport but it sure didn't catch anyones attention, nor did it show what real crawlers are made of.
It's like taking a bunch of trailor queen, show trucks out into the rocks and taking pictures of them, then writing about a rock crawling competition. No description of how the rigs were built and no pictures of any extreme wheeling. Maybe it was the magazines fault....and believe me, I wrote to editors and told them the same thing I'm writing here.....and of course they didn't have the balls to even comment back....because they know I'm right!
Now answer my question:
You must have an incredible crawler and you are a great driver......AND have done ALOT for the sport to have said what you said. So what have you built and what have YOU done? I'm very curious....

PS. Organized crawling event? What organized crawling event? I would hardly call that first event organized. :roll:
My 5 year old daughter could have organized a better event than that.

Re: Cali Crawl on the 26 lyte Creek Near LA
 

Actually,
I retract all of my previous statements. I appologize for it all. I refuse to go rounds with anyone about such trivial differances.

Those crawlers at the very first and very best organized event were the hardest of the hardcore and that article alone, started the rc rock crawling craze.
I've said enough and I'll say no more.......and what do I know about rc crawling......? Nothing! :D

Re: Cali Crawl on the 26 lyte Creek Near LA
 

ahh dirk, your always gettin into it with someone! lol guess it makes it interesting in here. I made it up to the utah comp this past weekend because i was really kicking myself in the ass for missing yours. I'm addicted now!
