The third annual Race Face Ultimate Freeride Challenge (http://www.raceface.com/ufc/index.html) is under way with Australian downhill ace and dirt jumping guru (seen Drift 2?) Dave McLaughlin representing for the land down under in week 1.

For those who don't know how the contest works; 4 entrants will square off against each other with a short clip of their riding each week. You vote for whoever's clip you liked the best and the guy with the most votes moves through to the next round.

Dave is pitted against 2 Canadians in the opening round and we all know those Pinkbiker's will be in there voting for their local boys, so come on fark-heads, get across to the UFC Website (http://www.raceface.com/ufc/index.html), get signed up via the link at the bottom and lets get Whacker into the second round. No excuses dammit! Sign up and vote!!

Grab yourself the Sweet 16 teaser (http://www.raceface.com/ufc/ufc_sweet_16.html) and marvel at the level of riding these kids have attained, it took me about 5 minutes on ADSL. As a reference, both Grant Allen's road-gap of death and the Bender / Wade Simmons road gap from NWDIII are punched out by entrants in this teaser, Jesus Tapdancing Christ!

umm the wire thing was certainly a little crazy, but for me it belongs in the circus with North Shore Riding Unicycles.

Could be, I always get my Whacker and Wacka mixed up...though now you mention it I'm pretty sure Whacker is CK and Wacka is Dave Mc...

OMFG. That first road gap. :shock:

I know you'll all call me behind the times, but who was that originally done by and in what film?!? I've never seen that before!

That's FUCT!

youll need the flash plugin for IE installed.

What web browser are you using ??

IE should prompt you to install some stuff ... in this case .. it's safe to do it .. if it's flash Macromedia blah blah ..

Im guessing the side tool bar is flash based so if ya aint got it .. you aint seeing it.

Word.
