Alright guys, we're less than a month from the next SSA Track Day and I'm already looking forward for this.
But the way, the last Track Day I heard a lot of rumors about the gravel on the pavement.
In fact, I had some scratches at the upper headlight fairing and forks of my bike.
I do not know if I can but I really would like to stop bye at the track one weekend before of the next event to sweep the critical dirty areas.
Someone have others ideas to make our Track Days each time better and more fun?
Hi Josh.
Well, let's see what happen at the next time. Last time the wind gave a big contribution for grave on the asphalt. But the way, I haven't seeing any sweeper truck over there. Do you know if they have it? I saw a blower only. ::)
Anyway, I'm still available to take a broom to clean it if necessary. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Also, at the next time we want to see Adiggty, Oneup, n10sive and scotinexcile on the track. We missed these fast guys...
:P :P :P
They blew the track Saturday morning at 5:30am
I watched them
did anyone find a black mirror block off? Yea it fell off, just wondering if anyone grabbed it..i believe it was due to the gravel on the hoot and holler! haha. But seriously...

Yea most likely! in the photos i could see it coming off, then..gone.
the track was dirty as hell sat morning...BAD dirty... then during lunch, they went and blew it off...it started creeping back on sunday though. i caught many rocks to bike, lid, neck, arms, knuckles...
me and mastalka were cranking out a buncha laps together and he nailed me with a proper ROCK...not just a piece of gravel, but a ROCK ROCK..big enough that i saw it coming and watched it hit me in the knuckle. haha!
besides that... i had a buncha fun this past weekend. it took a few sessions for the track to "warm up to me" again, as it'd been so long since i'd last ridden it. i guess i've been getting a little spoiled with the pavement i've been riding lately (mostly brand new pavement!)

Hi All,
We are and will be working with the track management to be sure it is improved. Removing and keeping down the dirt, pebbles, and that 1 knuckle finding rock will be found and put in prision for assault. ;D
Alright! Thanks Josh... :P
For this Track Day the temperature will be perfect. 8)
Do you go at this time Dale, Andy, Alan, Greg, etc.....? ;)
no. I only seem to go to T-Hill when it feels like your riding on the surface of the sun :-\ :'( ;D
They are supposed to be doing something about the track pebbles. I believe they will be putting a fog down on the ashpalt going up hoot and hollar.
I spoke with Dave from the Track Yesterday I have to call him again today to see how it went. I'll let you know josh and rick.
I already have 5 new guys to add to the 5 who went up last time; They know nothing about Fernley so they won't be worried about the rocks. ;D
I've got a 275 mph blower and brooms to contribute as well. Let me know if they'll need it for spot treatments throughout the weekend. :)
Looking forward to another great ssa day up there. 8)
Cool, I know they have a giant blower so I expect to see the track much cleaner this time.
Justin Malstalka asked them to fog seal Hoot and Hollar. Dave G said they probably won't have it done by our June Date. That would take care of the pebbles your addressing now. Looking forward to all that nice weather too. What a great Track day this will be.
Hey guys, new guy here who will be attending an SSA trackday for the first time!
I'm in for both days along with two other friends! I am overly excited as my first trackday ever was at RFR. I can't wait
Been following the board since before the first trackday weekend last month. Seems to be a great group of people here. Nice to meet you all!
Welcome T4RUSAF!!
Thank you for coming on board! We all look forward to meeting you.. :)
I see you at the Track @ Jun 19 and 20. ;)
Hey t4rusaf. Welcome to the club. So your taking the plung? Good for you. I know your kinda nervious and excited all at the same time. We should have great weather. You have any questions?
Are you ready to go already or do you need some help with anything? Let me know.
RFR is a lot of work. It's like boot camp. If you can ride RFR you can ride anywhere. Once you go here your really on the gas everwhere else.
Thanks for the warm welcomes guys. Last time I was at RFR was in 2008 so it'll be like learning it all over again. I really have no concerns as of yet, but only what others have mentioned from the May trackday about the hoot-n-holler and overall track conditions.
I do have one question, last time I had my friend make hotel arrangements and he picked a place called the "Lazy Inn". I wanted to sleep in the truck it was soo bad in there. I told him never again will I stay there or let him make the arrangements!
So where is everybody staying? Or any recommendations on where to stay? We figured we'd get there and drop the bikes off at the track if that is a safe option.
Jason
Here in Fernley we have a Best Western and a Super 8 that are both OK. I've stayed in the Super 8 and it was fine by me and lots of parking if you have a trailer in tow.
Is anybody planning on camping out on the track? Or is everyone going home since this is "home turf" for you guys? We are trying to figure out logistics, but we are thinking no one is camping out on the track and we do not want to be the only ones, haha.
lots of people camp at the track. weather is getting better too!
I believe the Track gates are closed on Friday night and you can camp out side of the gates. Saturday Night you will be able to camp at the Track. We'll have a Security Guard there all night. Let me know if this doesn't work for you. I'll see what I can do to help you out.

Get ready for some serious fun, I just rode Miller but RFR always make me ready to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah me too. I think I should be able to put on a vest and help out on the track that weekend. Yeah right. :P
Funny how we need the track just for therapy. Are we all sick or what? It just makes life worth living. You tent to forget about all the bull in your life and you just ride. If the wife or family is mad. All you have to do is ride.
Sorry guys. I can't amke it.
I'll be racing an outigger canoe at Avila Beach.
OK Rand. Maybe next time. We have a weekend in August and September and October. We'll see you at the track.
Do the 'Track day Committee" guys are still uncharged for that? :-\
Greg , Luke, Myron
What about the meeting one week before the event? 8)
Don't you guys think we are not talking enough about this next SSA Track Day? We are only 10 days for the party! :o
Well if you guys let me again, at least the Track Day will have a grid guy! Myself! :P
Rick,
I don't think the trackday committee exists anymore. Not sure what Jerome has cooking for the next trackday, but as of now, it does not look like Luke, Myron or Greg will be helping.

Thanks Dale.
But the way, are you going at this time?
I would personally like to have you help again on the grid. We will soon begin to assign task to some of the member who want to help. Just get ready for some kick ass riding fun (no snow this time) ;D
Dito Rick. I'm sure we can use you. I'll let you know. before the big day. Are you available both days or just one?

I know its coming down to the wire and we need to make a decision on whether or not we are gonna bring the RV. Well, its really not up to me but our other friend's parents that own it, haha. Coming from Fairfield it will be like 200 bucks just for gas! That's why we were wondering if a lot of people will be camping.
Are the hotels already booked for that weekend? I figured they wouldn't be so I haven't made any reservations :o

Yes I will ride!! :)
Please, I'd like to do the same thing like last time. So, on Saturday I worked at the grid and
Sunday I ride and help on Group C and B. I remember now, last time I've been helped some beginners on group C. ;)
In fact, I have two friends up here that want my help on group C on the next Track Day. :D
Guys, you can not imagine how much I had fun wearing the yellow instructor vest. :P
Pleeeease. ;D

You can find cheap rooms without ending up in roach motel. Circus Circus is always cheap. Can't find anything? let me know....
I made a call for a guy. And the hotel was full. Graduation Weekend. :'(
Rick How can I say no to you. What ever you want. your Grand Fathered In.
Not really worried about a new crew to help. The SSA has all it needs.
Camping will be allowed on Saturday Night.
I,m a track virgin looking to go on the 19/20, what is your program for first timers?. I have the saftey equipment, new bike (09ZX6R) and road riding experience not preformance riding. My goal is to become a safe preformance rider. Zoran said I should sell tickets and he is probably right. I,m also looking to go to Buttonwillow July 3/4 with Z2.

For first time track riders we start with sighting laps to get you aquainted with the track and how it is being on a track and the lines you should be working on. After the sighting laps you come back in to the pits and will have a C group meet to where you can discuss anything you might have on your mind. Any questions you have should be asked then. You will also get pointers for being out there. When you get ready to go back out on the track if you would like to follow, or be followed by an instructor come to the grid and tell the grid manager that you would like an instructor. We will then go out with you and help you around the track. If you feel comfortable at that point then you can just ride around working on what you would like to for the remainder of the day. Otherwise you can continue getting help from and instructor.
I'm not sure who all will be out there helping out but I will be.
Any other questions you have before going out there? ;D
Thanks Gorgonzola!

The track is the perfect place to be if your looking to become a safer rider. It can't get any better than the track in terms of learning for someone who already has the basics of riding down, which it sounds like you do.
1) You must have all the safety gear
2) Your bike is inspected to be in proper working order
3) You have a controlled environment. (People making sure the track is clear, everyone going the same way, no ditches, fence posts, etc., flaggers to inform you of current conditions and if they change, and medical personnel at the site already.
4) You don't have to worry about anything except your riding. (No tickets, cars, trucks, pedestrians, etc.) 100% focus on riding, which is huge!
I don't know why Zoran told you to sell the tickets, but I'd say come on out. You'll have a blast and learn a TON! Just don't be afraid to ask questions. I will be there. Come find me, I'll be under a Code 4 Racing easy up. Red bike, Lt. blue leathers. I'll show you around. Don't feel intimidated please. I think that is a major problem people have with doing trackdays. Especially for the first time. We all started as newbies at some point. You probably won't be the slowest person there and even if you are, who cares! That's not what it's about. We are all family at the track. It's the perfect place for people like you. Come on out. You'll be glad you did! :)
Andy
Excellent job you two. Johnny b hope to see you at the track. A-Diggity is a pretty good guy you'll like what he has to say. If you have any more questions please don't hesitate to post up.

Hi all,
I really wish I could do the trackday next weekend but due to financial problems and a front bald tire (for the track), i wont be able to. But I was thinking about going out there just to check it out, get the feeling about it and meet you guys and wondering if that would be ok... Saying that cause I have no idea how busy you guys get over there, therefore it might not be the best time for a newbie to show up... ;D
In case I am wrong, are you guys planning to meet somewhere and go to the track together? (My bad if this information is already somewhere else but i tried looking for it and couldn't find...) What time and where would that be? Also, if you guys can figure out something that a newbie can do on a trackday, i'll be more than happy to help...
Let me know what yours thoughts are...
Come on out Kawaninja. We probably could find something for you to help out with. If not you could at least meet some of us. We may not have time to sit and shoot the breeze, but at least you can meet us and get familiar with the basics on how a trackday works. Thanks for offering. That is very nice of you.

But as far as meeting somewhere to ride to the track together goes, is there any place where we can meet and them ride there (for Saturday, for example)??
I might make to this weekend bike ride and maybe talk a little bit more about it there.

Like jerome says, we got lots of tires circulating (bwahahaha) around here that would make for good 'round town tires'

So, I have a 120/70 ZR 17 on my R6 right now. Does anybody can help? How would that work?

that last post was a little confusing what were you trying to say lol
Kawaninja, there will be many tires at the track, new ones or race take off's... you'll find a deal that will work for you. also there will be vendors there that can put your tire on for you.
that last post was a little confusing what were you trying to say lol

My bad... What I meant was what the deal would be? Like...how much would you guys be willing to sell the tire in case you had an extra one that matches the description I gave.

How about price? Could you give me a ball park on how much they would charge to change the front tire, for example? And (it might be a stupid question but...) do they take credit cards???
Yes. They do take a credit card. All kinds! ;)
Last track day I bought a set of tires from Brian SPL. I used an International Brazilian Credit Card to pay it. My Dad in Brazil bought the tires for me. ;D
ballpark is about $100 for a new tire, $25 for a take off and $20 to install it
But I'd recommend bringing some cash with you too. Sometimes you find a good deal on used ones on the paddock area... ;D
KawaNinja,
I always like to arrive with my bike fully ready to go before I arrive at the track. It can be a little overwhelming to try and get everything sorted out while you are there. It is much cheaper to deliver a wheel to the shop as opposed to delivering the whole motorcycle. There are a few guys here that sell take-offs (Tires that a racer used for 20 laps and took off for the next event)
I would recommend contacting a local shop that can help you get outfitted properly.
I use 2WCP for my tire needs but there are other shops as well. I got these names from the Member Business section on this forum.
2 Wheel Custom Performance (Steve)
775-303-1857
Superbike Performance Lab (Brian or Sam)
and Moto Source. (Rich)
send them a PM or look them up on the computer box.
I was just there for my first purchase from them and Steve suggested I try a set of the new PIRELLI DIABLO ROSSO CORSA's for this upcoming trackday. When I got home I did a price check on what they cost as I did not have an idea on these tires. I was blown away :o with what I paid, it even included mounting heck i even got some chain lube and the total was less then any price I could find for a set of just tires on the internet. You cant go wrong with 2 wheel Custom Performance ;D Saw Justino there to.
Thanks for all the information guys! Appreciate it. So, before I purchase the track day pass (I'm doing it now, you guys talked me into it! haha) Is there anything else that I should be aware of to get ready for the track day as far as bike specs goes?? Cause my biggest concern is to buy the pass, get there and have my bike failing the inspection...
so i'll have pretty much one week and my credit card limit :) to get my bike ready and I definitely can use all help you guys are willing to give!!
Is it next weekend yet??? ;D

Forgive my ignorance, but what does PM means? I've seen this expression on this site a couple of times but i have no idea what that means... :D
I live in Reno nearby downtown... and yeah, i'm planning on getting the tires before getting there! And thanks for your help Justino!
If your looking for a tyre to get you by. I can give you one for free. If you need one for the track and can not afford one I can give you a used one for free. It just depends on what you want.
2wcp I'm sure has a good deal if you want to buy. Kawaninja

I'm sorry you're having trouble getting an answer. I understand that you will be getting the tires before the event and that your concern is that your bike will fail inspection... Most of us trailer the bikes to the track but my first 5 trackdays i rode my bike and you can too. I don't know of anyone meeting up for the ride out in the morning. You will probably need some extra gas and extra water, so maybe you can hook up with someone beforehand and work out getting some supplies out there. Jerome used to bring my fuel and gatorade when I was new at this.
Click on my name "Justino" then click on PM or private message. send me a private note with your phone number and I'll give you a call or text message and I'll make sure your bike passes tech inspection.
My name 'Justino' is above that picture of the TV personality i am using as an Avatar. Click on that.
i'll PM you right now so you can see what it looks like. (On the home page of this site, under Sierra Sportbike Assoc. on the top of the page is the phrase 'my messages'
Click on that :D
Everything is easy once you know how....
Hey Guys, one week to go! :D
Out of curiousity, how is the attendance looking? I remember last month it was on AMA weekend so alot of people couldn't go. Now that this one isn't are you seeing higher numbers attending?

If you need one for the track and can not afford one I can give you a used one for free. It just depends on what you want.
If you could do that, Jerome, I would really appreciate. I was just looking for a tire to do the track day. And as I said, I'm not on my best "shape" financially, so I definitely would take your offer for the used tire. I'll go to the bike ride tomorrow and we can talk about it.
Thank you again.
what size tire you looking for? Post up your tire sizes so we can bring our take offs to the track for you.

Yup, me and two other friends! We were all trying to do the May dates but it just didn't happen for us. My buddy said alot of this friends from Davis will be there too... probably about 10 of them.
A full grid would be awesome especially since RFR is soo big that their is definitely enough room for all!
we will be there on saturday, would have been there for the may dates but we decided the freezing cold and snow wasnt for us especially since ive never been on a track
Hey guys,
I tried looking for the "requirements" (the very first box you have to check in order to get the trackday pass) but i guess the link is broken. Is there any other page I can go to check them out?

When your in the page to pay. Look up at the top tool bar. You'll see (Requirements) click the box and it will take you there. You also have to check the 3 boxes before you can fill in your name. Let me know if that worked?

Oh, I see... It worked indeed and I already payed for Saturday 19th. Can't wait for that day to come! Now I just need to get my tire replaced and I'll be good to go... ;D I'll PM you to talk about the used race tire.
Thanks!
PM sent. He's taken care off. From the retired boy.
well it looks like my other buddy IS going to go. talked him into it so that makes 3 for us

Gettin' close gentlemen!
Were they ever able to 'fog' the "hoot-n-holler" before this weekend? I don't really even know what that means, but I'm assuming its an improvement, haha.
GUYS it's going to be an Outstanding Day. I'll check and see if they fogged the track. Last I heard they didn't have enough time before the weekend.
I was only going to do Sat since i just bought new tires. Well tonight I won a 2 for 1 at Lavecchia bike night thank you SSA looks like you have to deal with me both days now thanks again SSA.

holy AWESOME! that means you can BUY PICS! ;D ;D ;D
I’m sorry, but I need to let you guys Know about this…
I applied for a job in San Francisco and I have to go for an interview this Saturday. I apologize about that but I can not miss it. Maybe shortly I’ll be moving to San Francisco too . You guys know I’ve been complained about my job up here because it is very slow.
So, I have my heart broken to say this: I can not be at Fernley Race Track this weekend anymore.
Please. Jerome, Alberto, Justino and all others SSA members forgive me for not be able to work this weekend at the track. Although I’m very sad about this, I also can say I’m happy and exciting for this new opportunity.
I hope everybody have a lot of fun at the Fernley Race Track.
Best of luck on the interview Rick. At least the bay area has some good roads!
Good luck Rick! Hope it goes well for you my friend!
Best of luck Rick! I feel your pain, I cannot make it this weekend either... :'(

Rick I understand. The SSA will be missing your great personallity this weekend. Hope all works out for you in the bay. Maybe you can meet up with us at Ft. Bragg on the Solstice ride in 2 weeks. :-*
Your only 3 hrs away if you get this job and The SSA will always be here for you. :'(
Yo Rick. Don't feel bad in the least man. We all have lives too. Good luck on your new job opportunity! If you do end up going, you will be missed buddy. We still need to meet up for sushi too. Maybe a going away dinner. 8)

Sushi?! I take back all the manly things I have ever said about you LOL
Andy's idea of Sushi is going to the waters edge, plunging his fist into the icy depths to retrieve the fish, then placing a large portion of the fish into his mouth as it is still grasping at the last chance for life. That's sushi, and that's MANLY

I’ll let you guys know how was my weekend on Monday…
Hey, how about we meet somewhere for a sushi? Good call Andy, long time we were talking about this!! My schedule is short but, any suggestion?
Also, I hope everybody have a lot of fun at the track on the weekend.
Rick Sushi. When you get back pick a spot to go where ever it's easiest for you. Or you can make it closer for us. That's a great idea. We can all meet on our bikes for Sushi and make a ride out of it. I'm retired so any time is good with me.
One Tuesday after Bike Night I'm Sure Alberto can get off early if he asks his boss nicely. ;D ;D

Taking hungry people away from a LaVecchias restaurant is taking advantage.
Maybe I'll bring my own beer and a BBQ.
Doesn't make any sense, save it for another night.

Hey SSA peoples! ;D This is my first post up. I found out about your trackday on BARF. Looking forward to RFR. I need to avenge my first session crash from two years ago that totaled my bike. Oh stupid decreasing radius' and front tire washouts...how I hate thee. Anyways, I'm looking forward to it but was wondering if there was going to be tire service out there. I need a spare just in case but can't find any in my area that have them readily available (Contiforce SM 150/70/17). See you all Saturday at the track or Friday night at the Fernley Best Western.

It's all good Justino, I'll look forward to have sushi with everyone and riding to the place will make it even better ;)
Tokyolow81 my first trackday at RFR was a front slide (25mph max just cosmetics) look me up, lets do a few laps together (if I can stay with you). Duc white #13 and exorcise the whole thing.
ps a year later it was time for the rear to loose grip. This time i successfully saved my Duc, by sliding to the gravel with it on my back!!?? ;D

Welcome to the SSA Tokyolow81. Yes we will have tyre services at the track. It's SPL. He sells Michelin and Pirelli tyres. Mostly track compound. AS far as I know. Maybe some else would know if He sells street compounds.
Good for you to battle you demons. RFR is waiting for you. Now that the Track knows your returning for a rematch. Ride well
Oh Dale I'm sorry I almost forgot Nice Machine. We'll have the Hugh SSA stickers like Rick Tahoe has on his bike available at the Track.
Rick the Date is up to you. Let us know what day you can go. I'm up an so is Regina.

John so Happy your going to do that with us. Make sure you pit close to an SSA group. We all want to share in your excitement. The weather will be out standing. JP is also doing his first Track Day. You two will be beaming. WE also will have fruit ,danish and juice at the Track see you there.

Hey guys,
I would like to thank all of you that made my first (of 1000s - as long as my body can handle it :D) track day to be such a Blast. I have no words to thank you all for your help and support. Already mentioned that, late at the track, but will say it again: that was one of the best days of my life, seriously! Everytime I was about to do turn 23 I was smiling inside of my helmet knowing that the straight was coming right ahead. Holy moly that felt good. I'm definetily hooked. Looking forward for August.
I will spread the word to every single rider that I know and have them going there next time.
And Jerome, about the video, not quite sure if should post it. I could swear that I was reeeeeeeeeeally close to the ground on some turns but when I saw the video I was "surprised" how far from it I was :'(. Maybe I'll post it so you guys can have fun with my "knee movements" thinking that I was about to slide them while it was a mile from the ground ;D. Hopefully I will push harder next time. Gotta impress Adiggity! ;D
Again, thanks for providing this guys, from the reopening of the track to running a really smooth trackday (the trackday veteran speaking here). I bet that there is a lot more work being done behind the curtains and I do appreciate that! Go SSA!
Have to say that was prolly THE most benificial track days I've had. 3rd time out with this literbike... got it tuned and snagged a couple sets of slicks from Brian(SPL) Bikes running great Brian, THX!!! Thanks Andy for helping me with the speed shifting issue. Nice to have the track surface in good shape too.

It helps us relive our first time and memories of our first track days. ;D ;D Every time I think of them I smile. I smile even more when I read a post like yours.
So please Post the VIDEOThanks for the kudos. People like you make it more than worth it. It's really cool when other people get what were talking about the Track. It's one of the best places on Earth to Be. ( I Hope Heaven has a Race Track---I'll it's really smooth and flowing. Hells is really bumby and don't allow wheelies ) :D :D
For sure Jerome! Yes JP, I am always impressed just by people coming out and not being afraid to ask questions and listen. Also if you make it through the day with a big smile and no crashes, I couldn't be happier. Good job man. People like you are the reason why teaching is so fun. Thanks for posting up man, now lets see that video! It will be a good reference for when you improve, because it is a guarantee!! :)

Oh good! So that worked then. I'm glad to hear that. I never did get a chance to follow up with you on that. You were looking really good man. Some more seat time and the Bostrom boys will have to be looking out for you! Seriously though you were rollin man, good job. Nice meeting you.
i cant wait to see the video chad did following me! great first track day and cant wait to get back on the track. thanks 4theriders for some great shots! thank you again to everyone who helped me out with body position and track lines, chad, steve, luke, myron!!!

Yup, that was my problem. Actions speak louder than words, you still had little trouble pulling ahead on a bike with lights :P I made a lot of progress getting to know the bike. The sportmax GP in the rear was my limiting factor in the afternoon. Hoping Brians Superbike Pirelli's give me a bit more security.

Gotta confess that not crashing was my number one priority!! Wish I had a track bike (I'm already working on that) so I could push harder...anyways!
Alright..alright... with such nice words how couldn't I post the video?? :D Just need some time to edit it a little bit. As soon as I'm done I'll create a new thread! Promise!! ;)
Just want to thank SSA for yet another great weekend up at RFR. It just keeps getting better and better so we are looking forward to a return visit in August with soome fresh faces!!
I can't believe how many women were up there this time. Other promoters would be envious; I think there were more women there than the VIP Z2 women's day even without the free tshirts, haha.
Thanks for a class act, SSA, great grid, fresh fruit, etc etc. It was all appreciated and noticed.
Only down side is that I can't get that poor dead- mouse- in- the- leathers image out of my freaking head....wah!My eyes!!!! Even worse than the fact that I killed that poor snake off the chicanes and the fresh tire flat off turn 4. :o :P ;D
I might as well chime in too as it was a great weekend. Saturday was not working for me but Sunday was nearly perfection with great weather and lots of good laps even if I still can't get quite to where I used to be, I am feeling much better after all last summer with no track sessions. In that time Alberto dropped probably 10 seconds or more a lap! Good running except for that endo on the grid where I almost piled into you! :o
A big thanks to everybody for making it, as always, you meet the best folks at the track! Oh yeah, love the fruit in the morning too. Nice touch.
It's Tuesday and I'm in withdrawl already... :D

Caption: "Let the SSA teach you proper body position" LOL
That's what I was thinking when I viewed it earlier. "Need help with your riding position? Bring it to the track ssa"

cool pics! ;D
Wow... I didn't know the photographers would post the pictures on the web! Cool... Squared cool!!! :D :D
I thought this one was funny... and following the same "caption" line... it could be something like:
"Don't know where to put your toes when taking a corner?? SSA Trackdays is your solution!" or "How to NOT place your feet into corners!" ;D ;D

(Tried attaching but it said that the upload folder is full - what does that mean?)
John was following me when those pictures were taken and came to me after the session was over and said "I don't know if you were scrapping your feet but your toes were reeeeeally close to the ground!!"... actually I did scrap them! ;D ;D (Wish I had my knee out on that picture, that would've been so much cooler!!)
Awesome pictures guys, especially the "body position" one (Chad). Waaay Funny! :D
