i would like to add that you should not have "hope" when in sand. cause if you have "hope", you will only bury yourself deeper.

so i'm beginning to believe that "Taxi" is about as good as "The Core"

yes, taxi, the one with fallon and queen lati....something. it's got a crown vic with a hood scooped supercharger but supposedly has a titanium vortech centrifugal blower along with the queen busting out ridiculous urban moves on a cross country frame with a full face helmet. it also has one of the sweetest frisk scenes to come about.

there is only 1, but real big, thing that sucks about american movie TAXI - it is literally a copy of a french movie TAXI that came out like 3-5 years ago in Europe. The same idea of super cool taxi driver with a car that changes with a push of a button. Same idea of bank roberies and the taxi guy/girl helping an unfortunate police officer catch them. Alot of other little details that were just copied from the french movie, such as a guy who needs to get to the airport and throws up after the super fast drive or that the guy cop is interested in girl cop, who is his higher officer, and mainly very similar ending of the race at the end of the movie - where the robber's car ends up on the portion of unfinished freeway with a gap on each side.
The french movie also has parts 2 and 3, I believe, so let's see if there will be american Taxi 2 and 3 too.
I liked the movie alot, but comeon man - copying somebody like that and not even mentioning the origin of your ideas is f-d up. Plagiarism can be looked at differently, but I think this example just plain sucks. If I was producer of the original french movie I would sue the producers of the american copy. I guess american producers just assumed there'll be nobody in US to judge them, since nobody watches a lot of european movies that don't come out in the movie theatres or are available at the moviestore.
for those interested, you might be able to find a copy of the original french movie on the internet to download. Probably in french, but it is still worth it. I think they've got some cool motorcycle tricks in that movie too, although I might be wrong, as I watched it a good number of years ago. Part 2 is cool too.

Alright, got that Geo Tracker Kiddies-4WD, which I reckon is smallest car I've ever drove and, {fancy fireworks} I got a motorbike today as well. So I am pretty much bankrupt now ...
I have until next June before I have to go back home, so gotta spank those 6 wheels until then!

Well, else I'll be spending my time at UCSD or go surfing.

hey!
nice to see that you actually checked out the website and our club!
Some people here have motorcycles, some prerunner trucks - 2 wheel drive trucks with long travel suspension to drive really fast in the desert, some have 4 wheel drive trucks, and some just plain 2wd trucks. Sometimes we go to the desert, about 1.5 drive east on freeway 8, sometimes we also drive at little offroad places nearby around San Diego. I'll save your phone number and call you next time we are going somewhere nearby. my number is 18584140781. when we plan to go to the desert we usually post it here, in the upcoming rides section. also a bunch of members are in UCSD mountain bike team and during fall quarter is their colegiate racing season. because of this they are gone to the races most of the weekends this quarter, but will focus more on motorized off-roading after this. One member is actually planning to race in a motorcycle race in a couple of weeks. It will be fun to watch.

One of these 650 grunters. Not exactly the typical off-roader, but apart from jumping (matter of machine weight and me not wearing diapers, because I'd shit myself) it should do everything and even get there without a trailer.
It's that Suzuki DR650

Anyways, I got a Tundra that I want to play with in the desert, but I first built it up as a pavement queen so trying to change that. So I got a TRX450 that I like to beat up.

Whats up,
New to the board, but not to offroading. I love going out as much as possible, so let me know when you guys are going out. This is my fourth year at UCSD, and I have only met a handful of people that enjoy the sport, so I'm hoping I can meet more here. I ride a CRF 450, and also love to fab. I'm open minded, and open to critism. Going out to Dumont for Halloween, so if anyone has plans of going out there, which I doubt, hit me up. 760 662 1395

Greetings fellow riders!

I first learned about rideclubsd.com from some choppy vinyl lettering on the side of what appeared to be an ex-forest service pickup launching from a parking space on La Jolla Shores Blvd, then spinning the tires shifting into second gear.

The next day I noticed the truck parked in the same general area (just in front of my apt complex) as I was returning from a MTB ride.

Today I was about to stop and help a young rider on an EX-250-F16 who had apparently run out of gas, when around the corner I notice a thoughtful fellow rider carrying a fuel cannister from... his pale-green-alleged-ex-forest-service pickup. and I saw those choppy-looking vinyl letters again. I instantly forgave you for the burnout I witnessed the other day when I realized you were in a select group of riders I have much respect for: those who stop when they see a rider in need and offer their assistance.

to boot, it appeared you were on your way out to the desert to make some rooster tails.

So, greetings to you, whoever you are, and congratulations, your advertising was highly effective.

My name's Nick, I ride a copper SV-650S on the street, a '99 YZ-250 in the dirt, and an '05 Giant NRSC2 when I can't afford to leave my humble La Jolla apartment.

Cheers

the blonde weasel

hi Nick/weasel!

welcome to RideClub, from the owner of the ex-forest serv. truck with the chopped vinyl. i generally screech my tires if i want to express to the person behind me that i'm making an honest effort to not slow them down when i pull out ;-)

many of us ride street and dirt and dh, depending on what we can afford. do you have your yz in town here? jesse and i are going on a ride with my dad and sister and other folks from the desert tomorrow morning (in the rides forum) if you have your bike gimme a call sixonenine838.7190

what is your status in sd, student/ work force etc .. and whats your riding background, if you dont mind?

Wish I could take you up on the offer to ride this weekend. My YZ is out at a buddy's place in La Mesa, and I haven't done tech since my last ride at Plaster City a few months back. I'm on-call this weekend so I can't leave La Jolla. We're talking about riding sometime next month at a track up north (somewhere) to set up the suspension on his new CRF450... and to dial in a new rear shock I put on my YZ.

I graduated from and now work at UCSD, for Housing and Dining Services... I do IT stuff.

Been riding for four years now, started on an EX-250, and have the SV now. Saw someone's 1st gen SV in the gallery, can't remember who... whoever you are... are you on socalsvriders.org?

Cool to meet some folks from UCSD that are into all the stuff I'm into.

mrandychen, if you ever need a hand with that EX, let me know... I've been through it all before : ) even learning what the reserve setting on the petcock was for : )

take care folks

edit: link to the enormous file: http://cooleon.us/files/SISbxqrM/rebecca%20and%20florence.JPG

future reference, you can specify the width and height of an image file....inside the first img tag, just add width=whatever and height=whatever. be sure to keep the aspect ratio the same otherwise, your image file will get screwed up. for example, your original image file has an aspect ratio of 1.333, but if you change it, say how asians see it, heh, 1.7777, then you get something like this:

http://cooleon.us/files/SISbxqrM/rebecca%20and%20florence.JPG

... you posted the original. Take an editing proggy (photoshop, acdsee ... whatever) and resize it to maybe 640x480. My browser has a "resize to fit"-button, which scales down things that are too large.
Also, maybe that image provider (cooleon.us) has some scaled down versions, so you don't have to do it yourself.

That's good that you and Jesse loosen each other up, make sure to do it after sweatin' hard too. hahaha

I am quite sure you are required to wear a helmet at all times on both. The Dunes are all BLM regulated and I know you have to wear a helmet, even when riding a 50 inside of your RV corralled camp. Seen a bunch of ppl get ticketed for that at Gordon's on both 50's, big and small quads and bikes. So just so you save yourself $80, wear your helmet at all times while the BLM is near!

My name is Justin I ride a KTM 300MXC. I'm Sagittarius and I enjoy long hill climbs and trail rides in the sunset. I'm from the Bay Area so I've never ridden desert. The furthest south I've ridden my dirtbike is Hollister, which I will mention is a bad ass place to ride. I also ride Carnegie (Livermore), Prairie City a.k.a. Hangtown (Sacramento), Cow Mountain (Ukiah), Stonyford (middle of nowhere), and Middle Creek (Upper Lake). I have rented quads at Pismo as well. I used to race family enduros (in middle school) and I've raced one hare scramble.

welcome J,

You're UCSD, right? Did you meet some Rideclubbers at the presentation a couple days ago? If not, try to catch up with flo ... I am a little further away from campus ;)

Anyways, KTM3 sounds like a damn sweet ride - I think its the first European engineered bike in the club.

04-08-2007, 11:26 AM

hey justin, it's good to see you on the forum. welcome to ride club!

just to let you guys know, justin e-mailed me about ride club info the other day and i directed him here. i think he heard about us from our booth on library walk/the flyers we were handing out.

RIDEitINTOtheGROUND

04-09-2007, 06:26 AM

welcome to the board justin! sounds like you've got a lot of experience that we dont.. norcal riding.. sounds fun! is your bike back home? any chance of getting it down here? desert is a very different experience, we'd love to break you into it
there's a race this weekend if you wanna check it out

Jus300

04-11-2007, 06:38 PM

My dad said he could probably bring it down and I can keep it in a storage unit but I don't have a truck. If people don't mind giving my bike and I a lift? I am UCSD and I got the little flyer at your booth.

04-11-2007, 07:18 PM

As for the race this weekend... Where? When? What? Or if there's a thread direct me to it.

04-11-2007, 09:29 PM

welcome to the board man

the race info is here http://www.rideclubsd.com/forum/index.php?topic=664.0 in the "rides" sub forum

as for the bike situation, there will almost always be room in a truck for you and your bike.

RIDEitINTOtheGROUND

ya man the more the merrier, usually we are consolidating trucks to save on gas etc, as the club grows so does the caravan.

Jus300

04-14-2007, 08:20 PM

My bike will be down here May 4 at the latest and possibly as early as April 27. Just in time for the race on May 6. I believe the May 6 race is at Superstition (correct me if I'm wrong). For someone who has never ridden a dirtbike in desert or sand would any of you recommend I try that race? If I do race in May who can take me out there?
I'm hoping my bike will be here April 27 so I can get some practice in the desert but that's not extremely likely.

RIDEitINTOtheGROUND

04-15-2007, 07:26 PM

oy quite unfortunate timing for me, i'll be prerunning in baja for the june 500, bk joser you guys gonna be ridin??

i'd recommend play riding a little just to see what the terrain is like, cuz there is some really different stuff all over. hitting something new in a big dust bowl is not the best way to start out in my opinion. sux i wont be riding here when u first get your bike down, maybe weekend after?

hi all, I found out about rideclub through a library walk table where I met Flo and two guys but I can't remember their names. I see one of them riding his mountain bike on campus through the trees and stuff all the time, super fast :-D

I'm pretty clueless about offroad stuff so I'd love to check out some races or events and learn more. I've got a background in street bikes and now supermoto. I'm hoping to go riding offroad sometime soon somehow. Got my eye on a couple of dirt schools...

Hey welcome to the club. Just keep checkin' the Rides thread for our next outings. Right now is actually the off-season for desert riding, but a few of us still manage to get out there once in a while while it's still hot out there. What bikes have you ridden/owned?

RIDEitINTOtheGROUND

07-16-2007, 09:58 AM

ya welcome aboard Eric! that guy you probably see all over is Tommy, that used to be all of us but many have graduated ;) I'm Billy, Flo's brother, right now i'm outa commission due to knee injury/surgery but next desert race is sept 23 I think our pops is racing should be a good time. I rode s.moto one time, that was super fun! i might eventually be talked into owning one .. what/where have you ridden?

Philo

07-31-2008, 11:47 PM

Dang Billy sorry about the shoulder!!!

The yz is a 2004. My roommate Bengt just bought an '07 crf450x, but he's gone for work all the time. God I need one of those bikes!!!

Let that collarbone heal up nice and straight so we can do some riding this winter! I still have never really ridden in the desert, Bengt and I always go to Pine Valley. I'd love to check it out, though.

Maybe next time! I always want to ride but I don't have a truck so I'm kind of dependent on when I can borrow a truck or hitch a ride.

Own a 99 4x Tacoma a Polaris Rzr and a crf 450r
Usually you'll find me at Gordon's well or Ocotillo. But truth be told I love races and wish I could get out to more. Biggest problem right now is a lack of people to go with
Trying to get a new job so I can get a tow/DD and build the taco into a mild 4wd "chase" truck and get on a team and head back to baja.

Been around ttora.com, dezertrangers, rdc for more than 10 years. Just recently saw a link in someones sig on dr I think and it reminded me of a this place. Pretty sure my buddy nick used to be on here back when he was at ucsd a few years ago
