Anheuser might be jumping a bus on MOTOday 2 and TT rips the water at Ironman World Championships!!!!

Breaking news...ok it's not breaking news. Our local Ironman hero TT lights things up in Hawaii at the Ironman World Championships! In the 2.4 mile swim, TT posted the fastest time of the day. He lit up the pros so bad that Herman Stadler was so mad he threw down on the bike leg and averaged some ridiculous miles an hour and had a 13 minute lead. Schooled by the age-grouper kinda bugs the big guns! TT has had two huge swims this year in Hawaii and Brazil. That's what you call bad-ass!

I knew it would happen and glad that it did. Anheuser and Motogirl made the invite again to head to the track. This week J-vanator would be rolling with us. Unfortunately Crazy-B would not. I knew I could catch a little more air than last week. I had thought about all the tips Anheuser had passed on and I knew he'd have plenty more. Besides, after 2 weekends of riding dirt bikes I won't have to do any weight lifting all winter. It took me until this past Thursday to not be sore from MOTOday 1. I also knew we'd be in for some more big air courtesy of Anheuser, so I charged the battery for the camera. Anheuser and Motogirl spent Saturday riding at the track. I'm amazed they can ride like they do back to back. On Sunday morning, Motogirl was feeling the pain from Saturday and was sick to boot. Anheuser was still up for it and gave the DH fam the royal treatment. Since Deseret Peaks track was closed due to mud, he drove us all the way out to Delle...that's a long drive. There's a track out there as well as a lot of open space. Did I say that Anheuser's moto hauls some serious butt? Well, within about 3 seconds your doing at least 70 out on the flats. I'm sure that's low numbers for Sandros. You gotta post some photos of the asphalt track! By the way, thanks for the compliments Sandros. I always enjoy the chance to duke it out with you.

 Quick rundown:

  • J-dorade hits the deck on Motogirl's and Crazy-B's bikes and has an 18x1 inch bruise lining her leg
  • J-vanator tips Crazy-B's bike over
  • DH wipes out trying to follow Anheuser's mad skills
  • D-oza keeps us all rolling and takes some great photos (one of these days she's going to show us some skills)
  • Anheuser catches big air all day and rips the track. Other riders in the vicinity tell their kids that they should watch "that guy" and learn
  • We all missed Motogirl and Crazy-B

So, here's a photo review of MOTOday 2:
