Title: pictures from Vegas?
Post by: digitalRoost on May 02, 2005, 08:55:38 AM
Hi, just wondering if anyone knows if there was a photographer at Vegas for the twin sprints last weekend? If not, did you get any good pics?

What would be very cool is to see a video of Kane's loop if anyone has it on tape. I was in the race and didn't see it, but hear it was spectacular.

Why are we promoting this "spectacular event"? We need to do the opposite and keep behavoir like this, off the track. It was a deliberate wheelie for show- gone bad. I would rather care not to see it, or talk about it... Will only promote other to do the same.

I can agree with that, however the devil inside would still like to see it. Kinda a mental picture of what not to do. However, I see your point so .....


Anyone have any pictures from Vegas?  ;D

Hiding the incident doesnt teach anyone anything.  I dont know if it was showboating or him just trying to ride out the wheelie, but if anything, it just shows what can go wrong in that type of situation.  I will sure think twice about riding out a wheelie over that bump after seeing the bike land from 10 feet off the ground at 120+mph and explode 8 feet from my face.

It was definitely spectacular... and very, very expensive... which should be a lesson in itself.

I was 12 hours away and heard about it within an hour  :o And again, and again for the next few days. Must have been a sight to see. Glad Kane is okay but sometimes ego bites. Not that I've ever had that happen  :-X

To answer the original question, I did not see any Pro type photographers the entire time.

I know Mike from Trackday.net was in Cali.
