Look mom,
Hugging the tree in a non-wacko-extremist way
Tail rudder engaged
Moving forward, watching the action behind...
Keith will be racing this thing next year. And he looks pretty comfortable on it.
Jared cutting a 40mph sidehill on his turbo

He was shooting on a Nikon D700 I believe, not sure what lenses.
What a great couple days, can wait to do it again next year!

I'm betting keep the wheels on the trail and maybe bounce off a tree or rock like the rest of us and try not to loose traction.
Nikon D700 body with a 24-70mm AF-S Nikkor FX lens and a 70-300mm AF Nikkor zoom lens... Whoa! Felt a little nerdy there for a second.
Absolutely AWESOME photos!
MANY THANKS for sharing some of them with everyone on the forums!

awsome camera skills great great photos!!
These guys are phenomenal riders. The level they ride at is amazing.
I've got a bunch of Rasmussen that I'll get up tonight. That guy rides to lose anyone trying to follow him. I'm sure he gets up on top of a godforsaken ridge, finds himself alone and just smiles.

I do have to agree with everyone else, this pics are excellent quality and captured at the right angles. Them pics of Burandt look very good. I'm excited to to see Rasmussen's pics up next.

What a killer group to ride with with names like that! Sounds like an amazing weekend! I'm so jealous right now
Quick story;
We're riding down in Preston above Bret's ranch, like January 08. The snow is dry, no base. Willows, junipers, serviceberries, sagebrush... just clawing through everything. Guys are digging down to dirt, leaving brown trails up the hillsides. Bret's taking us through the thickest, ugliest spots, sidehilling over logs and rocks. The group's getting smaller and smaller as we go. Just Bret and anyone dumb enough to try to keep following, which by now includes just one of the 'dumb enough.'
We're on 2009 Arctic Cat M8 prototypes, forgot to mention that. The ones with the white bumpers. They're now brown. Windshield piping is dangling off, A-arms are covered in bark residue. The Arctic engineers are sitting back at Bret's shop.
So Bret keeps finding thicker and thicker crap to go through. We're cutting a steep sidehill through bush like the big mule deer like. There's a huge fallen tree to the left of us, and Bret cuts it hard uphill around the end of the tree through a 2-foot gap in the brush and sticks it about 15 feet up, kind of pointing up and back a little the opposite direction. Following in his track, I make the hard left around the tree and look up ahead.
There's the tunnel of Bret's sled, dug down in his trench, brand new with the cool LED tail light Cat went to on the '09s, sitting right in the only possible line. And Bret's waving his arms in a 'pick-up-the-pace' circle, yelling "Keep going! GO! GO! GO!" as loud as he can.
Of course I stopped. He shook his head. I laughed. Because he would have ripped right over the back of that sled without a second though.

"So Junior is coming in hot around turn four hugging the wall, and Stewart comes slinging around his tail.."
At least that's what I picture him saying. Thus the name Ricky Bobby. ...Shake and bake!
Just kidding, Chris.
They're really talking about how to whip the sled over the big off-camber.
Greatest Generation my ***. Tom Brokaw's a punk! -Walker
