Alternate title, King of the Hammers 2015, It's kind of like the BajaahaahahaAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

So it's been a couple weeks and the cool professional event wrap up videos are starting to roll in from Hammer town.

If you don't know, King of the Hammers is a multi class desert race in California that is like no other. The course is part high speed desert race and part rock smash crawl. Do you build a vehicle that is quick in the desert but suffers in the rocks ? Do you build something that is great in the rocks but is limited in the desert ? Do you try to build something for both that ends up being lovely all around ?

I AM THE SCALES OF JUSTICE, CONDUCTOR OF THE CHOIR OF DEATH!

Goddamn, the King of the Motos guys are insane. That's up there with the dudes who ride bikes in the Dakar in terms of "Holy poo poo" stuff :stare:

I'd say the Dakar guys are pussies in comparison.

They trade distance for toughness.

I want to ride a bike alongside your broken truck. Or at least assist the broken truck.

My wife was out of town and I had no one to help with the dogs or I would have been there this year. Stupid wifeys.
