KILLER shots Whafe!!!
Wow, some amazing shots dude. I love the ones of Bobby McMullen getting led down by Kirt Voreis through Hornet. Like that section isn't tight enough with good vision. 
I agree with Z....check out the eyes on that pic. Incredible. FYI, that's none other than Dirt Series coach, former world masters DH champ and 2008 Women's Worx champion, Lorraine Blancher.
Whafe, mind if CBX forwards that along to Lorraine? Pass me the original if you don't mind via email.
Dude, you missed the ruffles in my shot!?! 
For the mtbr folks....Lopes won with a time of 4:22, Greg Minaar was 4:23, Chris Kovarik and Mark Beaumont rounded out the top 4 with 4:27 and 4:28. That's just stupid fast.
Cheers,
EB |

Yes, agree, in perspective though, the Mojo wouldnt last too many runs down the Garbanzo DH in my opinion, not knocking it, just an opinion... 
B Lopes was running single ply tires too....

As I just stated in the Ibis forum, this is exactly the type of race that suits Lopes strengths - cornering, scrubbing air on jumps and his fitness for the pedally stretches. Yes, it's a timed event, but it's not a true DH race by any means. |

I love my Mojo to death, I love the Garbanzo DH trails and did them a lot on my DH bike when we were there for a couple of weeks in July - but there ain't no way in hell I would take a Mojo on them over a true DH bike. Lopes could probably still rip it on his Mojo but that would just be more evidence that it is mostly the Rider and not the bike! (and I imagine he would way faster on a DH rig than on a Mojo) |

Thanks Cris, totally true call on Bobby, was inspiring hearing Kurt V talking him through the course, all about communication... They did great....
Yeah, fully like the 10 - 22 in case you had not noticed... LOL

Bobby is a crazy mofo. I've been reading about him in the mags for a couple years, haven't had the pleasure of watching him race yet, besides Whafes photos. He's got a movie coming out pretty soon too, supposed to be all about his racing career and how he does it. Can't wait to check it out!

Nice Shots
Great pics.
I have this film on Bobby McMullen, "The Way Bobby Sees It." It's really good.

Cheers rroader, the rig is going well, I enjoy A Line on a shorter travel bike though, but am getting used to jumping the big bike.... It is a fast bike..... Me not so fast... 
Heading out now for an XC type ride, Whistler XC....
Later alligators....

Really good pics, enjoyed all of them a lot. Thanks for posting those! First time ever I hear of Bobby McMullen, but probably not the last. I got such a lot of respect for people like that, truly inspirational!

Hi All, if you would like to purchase the Bobby McMullen film, jump onto this link....
poison oak productions
Thanks for the heads up re the pictures, am no pro thats for sure... But I like to move around and get different shots, these poor pro guys generally are based in one spot looking for the elusive one shot.... I need to share the stoke with the Peeps whom are not here......
