Default Mini GTG and 5B Experience

Me, SACCO, and ChipCross had a mini GTG today. We also got to see Chip rough up the 'ol 5B.

You must have forgot about the other one then, or it would have been broke too! Is that 5B all that? It looks to be a good jumper.

The 5B jumped freakin awesome. The levee was ~ 10 ft high and Chip was landing on flat bottom. It took most of it in stride. He landed on his side one time real hard and broke the ball end off one shock and broke the shock shaft on another. It was VERY entertaining

P.S. the body you pm'ed me about isnt whole, do you want it?

Its just a short drive...I'll even spring for your lunch. And if you can get some of the other guys to come down, they can pay for your gas!

It was a "crawlers only" affair. I am sure you understand.
