Alright here is my offroading pictures
This weekend went on a trip about 4 hours north of my house around St. Cloud

Gilbert Minnesota to be exact ... they have an OHV and a ATV park

(oh and word of warning I am leaving the rez high on these so be patient ... and I linked them so every page view does not have to load)

Anyways

To start off the day the OHV's take a hill assent ... easy for my group of ATV's
This is my bro in his stock blazer

Ok this puts that blazer assent into more perspective

Alright this is my friend with his modified Xterra it has a 1.5 inch suspension crank and a 3 inch body running 265-75-R16 various other engine mods

Here he is again ... he is not doing the assent in the picture but he does it right after this (but this shows the hill better)

Here is the blazer over a rock ... it shows some cool wheel rap (we aired them down to about 10 psi for thoes tires ... they are usually a 50 psi tire)

Next we go to some of the ATV pictures
While I was on the ATV's all day I did not have a camera but there are still some cool shots

Here is a friend of mine after a bit of a whoopsie in the water

Now to fit with this I have a video I will be posting later of him trying to get the water back out lol

anyways more of him trying to get it out

Alright this is a hill a friend of mine attempted (he is an idiot)

And this is us trying to fix his fourwheeler when it rolled over on him then did four more cartwheels before ending up in the tree's
http://geek.upwardthrust.us/off/off11.jpg

This leads into this ... this is a picture that we took of another group that came into the same small area as us ... only caught it by accident

Now you have to understand the hill that they are on is cakewalk for ATV's we had been taking that hill all day in two wheel drive when wasting time getting fourwheelers running

About 5 seconds after this picture that guy on the big yellow one manages to roll it at the top

He broke his hip knee and cracked his helmet (lucky no head injuries) his full fourwheeler landed on his helmet ... that one weighs about 650 pounds roughly

Lucky me and two other guys in our group are medical first responders including me

The ambulance got to offroad that day

Big files on slow server = too long time to download.

Im sorry it was the best I could do for right now

I gave warning about size maybe should have put a disclamer on download time
But again that is part of the reason I linked rather then attched thoes images

You could resize them. I'm barely getting 50kb/s from the server, so it may not be the one best suited for such large files.

Difference being I have about 500 GB worth of storage on this server
it has its ... advantages

But I relize I dont have the most bandwidth which is why I got at least the movie off this server

And yes I could resize but I think these few were beautifull enough that I did not wish to do such

IF I shared all 300 that were taken that day then I would think about it :) (they ARE all on that server lol)

I don't have a T1 line. I am not interested enough to download a 6000x7000 picture or however big it is to see what you were doing. Resize them to something around 2000 pixels square.

If I remember right they are all below your 2000 mark by a bit or close enough

when I get home I will do it

Some people just have no appreaciation for beautifull pictures :p
