I was there a couple of weeks ago with the WT club.. It was my last TTB trip before my SAS so i wasnt worried about f#@ing it up.. Got some sweeet air on comp hill.. (think thats what it is called) The biggest hill there.. I was airborne and the landing bent my radius arms, broke 2 ball joints, bent my ttb arms, grenaded a hub etcc etc.. Made it home though..

Heres a shot of my launch...

Comp hill actually not very steep and pretty round at the top. Its just where everyone meets to race.

so what is really going on here? how did it shear an axle tube? what material was it made from?

we sheared a rear axle tube in the race truck but i don't see how you could do it in a jeep at pismo. unless it was a splice. so what is the deal ?

The tube didn't shear. It was suggested by some spectators that we were 15-20 feet in the air. I don't have any shots close up but the base metal riped apart not the weld. I guess the bead wasn't big enough......

hey Dave

while on the topic of Pismo I was thinking of doing a long travel kit for the tacoma (18in roughly) I was wondering if you would be interested. email me if you are. Also on Aug 2-3 there is a trip planned to goto the Hammers. Do you want to see if any of the PolyGoats want to go?
