last man standing

At least 2 of our inmates are there on site. Coffin and NSMAN are enjoying themselves.

Knight is using an FIM tire, I hope he doesn't show anyone that, they'll be sad. Doing so would be in comeplete Mind $*&#*($, especially when everyone has such a big debate over which tires to use. And Metzeler only makes one style of tire, the only choice David makes is 120 or 140!!!!

Wow! One super tough race... Congrats to all that tried this race and those that supported it. Special congrats to Blazusiak ans Aaron....Making the local Pols and even Americans proud!

I just have to point out a couple good friends who traveled to Texas for LMS.

6th Shane Cuthbertson
10th Cory Graffunder
11th Marty Halmazna
12th Bobby Procknau
16th Jason Schrage

They weren't riding bergs, not yet anyway, but 6 made the trek, 5 in the top 20 and the 6 finished 3? after a week on the bike after a broken collarbone. Marty and Shane had help from Munn Racing and Letko Cycles. Congrats guys.

The Canadian invasion 8) Congrats to all.The videos look insane 8O

Wouldn't it be cool to have all of the Canadians riding Bergs next year.
How could we pull that off?

check out bergers first video. Thats sick, how the rider hops from side to side on his way up, like a skiier hopping side to side on a steep slope!!

you mean how he takes the wrong line and has to get out of the mess he's got himself in.

taddy blazu..cant spell the rest, started off as a trials rider and rode for scorpa or sherco in the world rnds both out doors and indoors.

think, bergers second vid of knighter doing the same section is more impressive. he goes up it almost as easy as i go up my driveway.

shame he dropped out.

I agree Cypher that DK's line was much better, he approached with more speed, and with this weight, he's got more traction. But to watch Taddy's clutch/throttle/traction control is very interesting. There are more vids out there that show more of the same.

Any 2007 Torrent file of the TV Broadcast?

Someone told me yesterday that Taddy only started riding a dirt bike a day or two before Erzberg, where the organiser shamed him into riding the Endruocross course and to try for the wild card out of that competition. Look at him now, he won the wild card, won erzberg, Vegas EX and now LMS. EEEEEKKKKSSS where does the guy go now???

maybe if you discount that he used to ride the world trials rounds indoor and outdoor as a factory rider for sherco or scorpa and had said in several interviews that he used to do enduro for fun.

so saying he only started riding 2 days before ertzberg is bollocks.

been a bit of talk in the uk that knighter has met his match which i also class as bollocks.
its too early to tell, plus we haven't seen how taddy goes in more speed orientated events such as gncc or wec.
erzberg = knighter didnt ride the H&H that taddy won.
vegas ex = im not surprised knighter let him win it as from the video i've seen taddy nearly jumps straight into knighter on several corners, not what you want when trying to win a championship.
LMS= knighter was riding ill and subsequently pulled out.

people seem to forget that knighter spanked taddy in the barcelona ex which i think, though not certain, was between vegas and LMS

found this brief barcelona ex report .

barcelona report

theres another extreme event in the uk in jan where their both riding so the saga will continue

LMS favoured a rider with trials history for sure.The top three all did but Tatty has the most recent top level competition for sure.I thought The Knighter was having vision problems as he wore a open faced trials helmet for the nite run and carried more lights than anyone else,two on his helmet in addition to his headlite assy.He threw his goggles away at the waterfall section.He did not just thow them he hurled them with a certain energy as if he was very frustrated with them.When I asked him later about them he said that they had steamed up and the felt he may as well toss them to a spectator for a souviner.
On the other side his eyes were not the least bit dialated and he showed no signs of someone that was having vision issues.I had the opportuntity to ask him again later and reprased my question, he again assured me he was having no vision issues and I believe him.
The said that he simply had run out of breath and was finding it increasingly difficult the "catch his breath"(his words),he felt it would be wise to retire from the event at that point.Back at the trailer a doctor was called and after a few shots of Oxygen he again felt fine.
He and the doctor both felt that his schedule in addition to the extensive air travel have had a detremental effect and he needs some time off or may risk his health.
This weekend he scheduled to compete in Barcelona, hopefully to tie up the endurocross championship.
He is one tough competitor and I wish him the very best of luck.

bit of light entertainment.

taddy show

haven't watched the whole thing and think its quite old video but the credits at the beginning give you and idea of some of his accomplishments.
