Fortunately it's just the angle, but it turned out awesome!

Turned out really well meaning no one had to tow you back to the pits on piece of firewood? LOL

No really, cool shot. Looks like you guys had a good time.....

Launched to the moon! Nothing like that first time you feel the 3 ton beast leave the ground.

Great photo!

Landings were smooth all day. The suspension absorbed the impact really well. I did check at the end of the day and I had used up all of my bump stop travel, but I never felt it hit hard.

I did smash my skid plate in, but that was at the bottom of a hill not the top lol.

Here's another cool shot from the same day.
