moto mute is best pic but that sand looks pshop enhanced... still sick air... leave sand out
Don't know nothin bout no pshop...... Seriously, how hard would it be to photoshop sand in or out of a pic?? And have ya ever jumped sand dunes at Lil Sahara? Let's see your pics leaving the sand out!
That ain't no hard pack beach sand. It's some superfine silica floating around - I find myself coughing it up for days!
So with some dune crests ya really scoop up a shit ton of sand.
More at first, then the further into the jump - the more of this fine sand that has fallen to the ground (and not as prominent in a photo).
This was one of them:
Here's Night_Stalker scooping it up:
This is the best reason to run an intake pre-filter
Now (like a lot of photos in these contests) the pic I submitted did get a little color touch up (using crappy iPhoto which is all I got) - just wanted to "pop" the LED's on Dawson's cool heads - which for some reason made the sand under the truck look more red too. I'll admit I don't know what I'm doing - amateur effort here lol. But the sand is real and not "shopped" into the pic.
Here's the original untouched and uncropped version to prove it:
Then cropped:
A few different runs at it:
And some sand rolling out of the fender wells on my 76 foot Lil Sahara jump last October - back when I was still running '35's and oem heads (too old a pic for this contest). Torqued a spindle and my back on that one! (This time more beefy suspension plus 37's = zero damage)
Thanks for the votes guys and the cool FRF Grunge Stein. I'll be drinking beer outa that at every Raptor Run I attend from now on!
