Nor-Cal 2007 Fall/Wint Comp 3, Folsom

[montereycrawler]

Here is the video of comp #3 at Folsom Lake. It was drizzling most of the day so the courses were pretty slick.

The video is kinda long. I threw some bonus footage at the end.

I will try to post up another link tomorrow for those who have dial-up and have difficulty with this link.

Looks like you guys do it big in NorCal. Seems you have some diabolical course designers out there too!!! Did Bender happen to make a trip? Looks like fun and I am jealous, we keep getting snow and can't get on the rocks.

Lance, that was the best video by far to date.

Thanks guys.

Duuuuuuuuuuuuude. Bad ass man. I loved the dedication to the man, Brandon. Talk about smooth running. Another sweet spot was the capture of Dean on #3 going up that super steep climb. Just showed how much control he has over his rig.

Great job man.

Great Vid! thanks for sharing. I have to admit it's nice seeing how many drivers were using our Claws, I even saw a couple Grappler bodies.
Thanks to everyone running our products.

[Tanis]

Nice work Lance, I always enjoy watching your vids. And stages looked pretty brutal, but obviously completable with the right line

[ruck"n"roll]

Awesome video, with all the editing, it doesnt look like im that bad of a driver.

[montereycrawler]

Thanks everyone.

Nathan, yeah the courses that Sam sets are pretty tough but lots of fun. Folsom Lake is a great location and the courses offered a lot of variety.

Awesome video! Thanks for getting my jeep on course 3 in there.

Yeah no kidding! Thanks Lance that was an awesome video, I was glued to my screen for the past 20 minutes and didn't even realize that much time went buy!!! Guess I need to get back to work, although I didnt want that vid to end

Thanks again man, I didn't realize how smooth I drove that day... That probably wont happen again Speaking of driving smooth, DJ has it down! You have taught him well Lance

That was a sweet climb Dean made on course 3. Freaking Dig

Who needs dig, right Sam?

[montereycrawler]

Thanks Brandon, and great driving.

Who needs dig, right Sam?

DJ will have dig at the Bean but poor old Dad will still be in the dark ages. Oh well, seem to remember someone winning a comp recently without dig,,,,,,,, hmmmmm

Dang, that was a great vid. I didn't even realize it was so long. Nice driving B.

Careful, I know what it feels like to get beat by my 10yr old daughter.....actually it's a mixed emotion, more on the proud side than anything else

The video just shows how amazing the terrain is at Folsom. There is a lot of skill involved in each gate/obstacle to make it through them and I think drivers are stepping up HUGE in skill because of the difficulty. People are reading the courses more.

Course #1 though was a bit rough. The intended line wasn't taken by most because there was a different line that some were getting lucky on. So most, including myself, opted for a near guaranteed miss of the gate and hoping the landing worked out ok. The intended line was a lower side hill crawl that I was hoping people would get some wheel speed up and do a wall broady, but nobody did, so neither did I. I was doing too well at that point to take a "new" route.

Once again, great vid Lance. I can't wait to see DJ use the dig.

Wait until the next comp at Palmer Perk.

[JUSTGOINGSLOW]
