I saw some pics of Ramana's X Games practice roll

Looked like he landed a jump, bounced up onto the left front, went over and pirouetted before coming to rest.

Wow,
I just read about it on ACP's blog. That sucks...hope he can get it together for the games.
ACP also said that they may be rethinking the jump for the 'Games'...the size and angle I guess, but they'll definitely keep it. Gotta get that crossover somehow!

That's a wacky wing!

Looks weird but more functional than throwing it on the edge of the boot.

It looks like the wings on the last version of the EVO WRC car.

Somebody needs to give Ramana a 4-leaf clover or rabbit's foot.

As a fan, I want to see all of the competitors who made it to the show, make it to the SHOW!

Good Luck to the teams, let's see some smooth sailing from here on out.

Good luck finding another car, Ramana. Hope you get everything together before race...err...show day. What a bummer.

Another unique aspect to rally cars relative to other X-Games sports-you can't just pull another bike out of the trailer or another board out of the quiver. :-(

I'm sure Ramana will be able to source another car. Is Amy's car back on the West coast? :-)

Cheers! John

I couldn't before, and I cant see now how this can work.... I had a few conversations at NFR about my fears of the big jump destroying cars.

now my worst fear comes true...

i guess it'll be nice for an arena full of spectators to get to see, hear, and feel cars getting crunched up, nice for those who can crash, get out and crack jokes, and it's nice if you get paid to build new ones when they do...

but when it's coming out of your pocket?!

i feel sick to my stomach

They have a second car, but more important is everyone OK?
