I really have to give you more credit after trying to photograph some of the RC stuff in Vegas. That was way harder than I though it would be.

I'm not going to get super involved in this, but I will point out that Cam's first backflip was after bonus time. If you don't believe me, here's the video of the run, and you can see the bonus clock in the background hit zero a good 10 seconds before he hits the back flip ramp. Even if we are running on the "last move after time counts" rule (which when I was a judge it absolutely did not) he could only have it contribute to his bonus score. If he did that in regulation I have no doubt in my mind he'd have won the event. Also at WF XII, he only lost on a tie-breaker after holding the lead for the entirety of freestyle, i know that's not winning, but losing on a tie-breaker score (the second of three tie-breakers I believe even) is as absolutely close to winning as you can get without actually doing it. And overall (not directed at anyone on this site) I really think the discussion surrounding this subject is ridiculous every year including this year. The discussion itself is fine sure, but the way it's being carried out in a lot of places (mainly Facebook) is ridiculous. The man went out there and did his best and broke down into tears in front of the entire stadium and his family when he won. Even if you disagree with his score there's no point in just tearing someone down because of it. There's a good way to discuss all of this but half the discussion is just ragging on Lee, from the same damn people who got pissed and bashed Tom when they re-ran their race however long ago causing Lee to loose his shot at the championship. Why can't people just be happy for someone for once?

Oh my bad, I thought the stadium was a bit busier than that.

I'm not totally convinced UNLV would want to sell a completely paid off stadium that is still good for hosting tons of events in one of the busiest cities in the world... but even if they did, It's not like it would be a bad idea for FELD to buy it. I'm not saying they would or should, but they could easily hire on a few(dozen) more people and run the stadium year round themselves hosting concerts or whatever just as an extra means of income. I'm not so sure it would happen, but there are many worse things they could do with the money.

Not to really give anything away, but after I had some pictures taken at the top of the stadium, a certain white bus was being pushed into thunder alley by a loader...

How could the track be responsible for certain drivers having bad passes, while simultaneously allowing other drivers (Jim) to do better than normal? That's not how that works. Buddy and Rosalee are both very new to the track and not very experienced, so it makes since that they would screw up a turn or something along those lines. Jim just finishes a brand new truck that he is debuting this weekend and it's not full of technology older than time itself, so it would make sense that he would improve. Is it too hard to accept than an underdog beat the favorite?

Took me forever to figure out why There was just a giant blank space in your post for me. Then I realized it was that the Instagram account you posted blocked me for pointing out he was stealing my pictures ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ He's a tool.

Given how the team has reacted to pictures from their Sam's Town display being posted in the past, I feel like they wouldn't give Throwdown permission to do this if it were real.

15 going on 16? Your birthday is on your profile.

YGS Shootout lineup is out https://www.monsterjam.com/en-US/news/double-down-showdown-competitors

Monster Jam will never run Madusa again, she still owns the name and I highly doubt they'll come to an agreement to let it run. It seems like stakes are a bit high between Monster Jam and Madusa.

More competitors announced including my boy. https://www.monsterjam.com/en-US/news/more-qualifiers-announced Basically past champions.

This is worth it for the music video alone. Seriously love this.

You've been dong this for a while so you probably already know, but there's an easier way to tilt the camera than to have to spawn a Gavril in. You can just use any interior cam but the the vehicle on an angle before you go into free cam. In other words you can just put one side of the truck on a low obstacle and go into free cam to achieve the same effect without having to spawn multiple vehicles. Unless something has changed since I played RoR xD

Fun fact: Morgan actually appears to be giving me the finger here.

I know I'm two days late on this, but this track actually makes me want to play the game again. Absolutely love it.

Scott's still posting on his Facebook fan page saying he's gearing up to drive overseas this summer. And welcome back!

Ok so Indy was awesome. ALBUM: https://www.facebook.com/pg/MasonRunkelPhotography/photos/?tab=album&album_id=1233303710110261

WOW those Mitsubishi's take me back. I was 11 years old when they came out and now I'm in my second semester of college. I'm old

You mean sans serif'd as oppsed to serif'd? I have to agree. If you haven't rasterized all of the type layers, I'd change the typeface to an Arial or a Verdana or something similar. It would look better than the typeface that is there and flow better with the truck.

Looks like Larry Quick got pushed over the edge at a recent show.
