  1. ^ nice stuff, might want to resize or watermark your stuff so people don't rip it off.. 

     

    Finally enjoing photography again (not that I don't in the first place) with a different type of racing.. Needless to say capturing an object doing 100mph just feet away from you isn't exactly easy :) Absolutely love the 1st image, the focus and intensity in his eyes is awesome to see.

  2. Well, metlife show sounded cool, got to watch the front flip attempt in the pits at the dirt track.. On that note, my photos ended up on Speed Channel's website and Fox Sports' website promoting the flip attempt..

  3. What about Santa Clara? That's only about 30 miles from Oakland (not sure how much that is from where you live though, so I could be wrong)

     

     

    Nah it's an hour from me, obviously I want more shows in NorCal but cant afford to drive 8 hours to SoCal since Feld doesn't pay me for my work.  5 down south vs 2 up north.. Eh' Anaheim doesn't need 3 shows LOL.

  4. And Atlanta is so close to Florida....

    For real though this is the only stadium show for like 4 state regions, we had this coming for a long time

    Also they forgoed the AC/DC pun? That makes me a sad panda

     

    I'd go with that theory if it wasn't for the 6 southern California stadium shows.. and 1 northern California stadium show..

  5. Exact opposite of what you're thinking... he's protected in that cab from debris with the Lexan and visor on the helmet, so he's good. It's a very soft landing for the truck from a high jump like that, plus adding in the downward force from the front axle from doing a fast forward rotation like that, cars will help cushion that impact even more.

     

    Didn't realize his motocross helmet had a visor.

  6. lol I like how most monster jam drivers play the game created by fans and not what there sponsored by, that's sad feld, I don't blame them for playing this game over the other games

     

    I'm honestly surprised Feld hasn't had a simulation built for them yet, they could save $ vs testing with a real truck.  Obviously no simulation will replace seat time but it will familiarize drivers with the characteristics and controls of a truck.  With todays technology they could literally build a track laser scan it and import it into the software, same goes for tires, chassis, trucks and have everything to a scale size.

     

    Game engines have deteriorating tracks, like if you made a few passes a groove would start to form and the loose dirt built up on the outside with different grip levels, crush cars/dirt ramps would change every time they're hit. You could give a new driver a chance to purposefully drive with a broken truck and figure out how much of a difference  a flat tire, broken sway bar, rear steer motor that broke, etc. would make.  The potential is unlimited depending on how much $ they wanted to spend on having someone develop it for them.

  7. He is?

    Weyll... if that's not a sign to get Hooligan released XD

     

    Yep, spent many of hours goofing around with him on ror.  Lot's of fun times.  He's becoming quite decent as well editing physics and suggesting changes as well.
