The sunrise-photos in the ancient "gymnasium" (check out the girl on #4904 and #4932) involved getting up at 4am, doing some hillclimbing on the 450EXC (imagine their crappy light) to arrive there in time - with totally sore muscles from yesterday's event and - of course - yesterday nights hangover... ;-) As you can see from the other images (4 guys hauling up one bike uphill) there was quite some sweating (and swearing) involved. > Great photos. Which one are you? I'm the guy with the black jacket emptying his boot after drowning his bike in a no-so-shallow river section. Also look for the yellow AXO helmet and the grey-black UFO Omicron jersey. I'm showing up a few times in http://picasaweb.google.com/picturepaparazzo/WinterfluchtAntalyaSonke?authkey=Gv1sRgCOyjh8eWuf62lwE - when the tourguide took some snapshots. Basically just pushing, crashing & spilling the bike - making a big fool out of myself. I also got roosted a few times by Sweden's #1 enduro lady Vanja Kollmann. Quite impressive riding style... > I want that red jacket that says "Bolder" on it. It's a sponsor jacket made in Sweden. Probably unique. Looks cool, indeed. > And yes, "chixx who ride" are tolerated somewhat in Idaho <G> Ah, OK. That qualifies me. ;-) Have a nice week-end!

Glad you liked them! I was the "photo-dude", carrying a fat backpack with my Nikon digital reflex camera along with a bunch of lenses and speedlight along all those trails. Image a biff turning those $$$-items into a load of not-so-decorative paper weights... I almost peed my pants in some situations (river crossings, those steep goat tracks, snow-fields, rocky descents - well, almost everything...). > I do wonder how you load the bikes on that orange moto-truck. A winch? > A 10 meter-long ramp? You won't believe it. Our mechanic (the turkish guy who also drove the truck) just rode the bikes up there. He had a short ramp, leaning in about 45� of an angle and was wearing old sandals, shorts, T-shirt, no helmet. Needless to say that he got no fuel pump (he refused to get one as proposed multiple times by our tourguide) but used the old hose-siphon-create-vaccum with-mouth-trick when refueling the bikes at lunchtime. Just look at the other "bikes" (i. e. #5324) for an impression of "state of the art" technbology in Turkey. Cheers, Volker -- @: I N F O at B A R T H E L D dot N E T 3W: www.bartheld.net

Hope the ramp was well bolted to the truck, but probably not. -- Charles '99 YZ250

Hope the ramp was well > bolted to the truck, but probably not. Sorry, Tosk, Scotty, Rowdy Mouse, The Mouse, JustWaitAFrekinMinute... are all me from different computers. Sorry for the confusion... ;) Rowdy Mouse Racing, and if you look close, it may just be a confused Rat!

Hi! > I'm feeling invisible. First Tosk/Scott/Justwaitafreakinminute, now > you... Sorry, didn't mean to ignore you. It was late yesterday, I was tired, I was in a hurry. And I'm just a quotasthenic. >> I was the "photo-dude", carrying a fat backpack with >> my Nikon digital reflex camera along with a bunch of lenses and speedlight >> along all those trails. > Bring the gear to Idaho, then--nothing like that out here :) You bet. Activities like ISF just REQUIRE a decent footage. :-) >>> I do wonder how you load the bikes on that orange moto-truck. A winch? >>> A 10 meter-long ramp? >> You won't believe it.

Hope the ramp was well > bolted to the truck, but probably not. Hey, sure it was. As sure as his helmet was bolted to his head. ;-) But I guess, he was quite experienced in loading the bike... Have a nice week-end! Volker -- @: I N F O at B A R T H E L D dot N E T 3W: www.bartheld.net |
