i would guess its because they dont own the walls, they are the walls to another business's building

Yeah I was thinking it might be some type of city or state property that can not be permanently paint, but would imagine with permission banners could be allowed. Those gray walls remind me of a Terminator scene

Thanks Dave,

I had fun watching it a few times last week. Just need to learn to run my own race and concentrate on that instead of worrying about everything else going on.

I can see areas I need to work on for sure.

See you there tomorrow?

We weren't able to get the Rookie B main, but here's the rest in a playlist, including Cocoa Puffs' win to graduate from Rookie.

Hey all, I decided to try something new, which I've wanted to do for a while. It leaves a bit to be desired, mainly the aspect, due to how it was filmed. But I figured folks would appreciate this anyway, so I took 30 seconds to edit it up and post it. I don't expect to post more like this (except possibly if I figure out a better way to quickly mount a more purpose specific camera). Enjoy (don't have your sound volume up really loud when clicking play)!

+ YouTube Video

Come out and try the track for yourself at the season's big off-road race, Off Road Kings!

That is awesome! Thanks Dave. I think if I did that with my truck, I would be all over the track lol.

Does anyone know approx. how much time it is to drive to Norcal from Sea Ranch/Gualala? I will be visiting my uncle in Sea Ranch and he told me it would take 1 to 1.5 hours. If anyone can give me a better estimate it would be much appreciated.

According to this, 3 plus hours each way.

Yeah, I figured it would be longer than 1.5 hrs. Thank you. I hope to make it out there in the next few months.

Google usually overestimates, but you won't make up a bunch of time on the coastal highway, so 3 hours is probably about right. Come on down and grab a hotel from Sat to Sun and in the races have fun!

Videos from Off-Road Kings are on their way up.
I think we got all but 1 or 2 of the invites and most of the mains. This event was awesome. Tons of traction and good competition.
I'm not sure how many of the big air competition jumps we got, but we got a few of 'em.

YouTube is slow...unfortunately it'll be a few days before they all make it up.

You're welcome to subscribe if you like and see them as they go up. I'll also post a few playlists of them here once they're up too.
