Bring it on, little chumps!

I went to the 2008 NBL Gator nationals in West Palm Beach yesterday at Okeeheelee BMX and it was pretty cool. I got totally sunburned and still had a great time. This race was the last-chance Olympic qualifier for North America, so the 2nd half of the race was sanctioned by the UCI. The NBL pros were no slouch, but the UCI racers were noticibly faster. ** Photos are here **

I started to take some videos, but with over 300 motos prior to the finals just in the NBL racing, I ran out of space pretty quickly. Here's one of the UCI races I kept:

Yeah, I almost forgot - I had my GPS with me and this is where we were at for the launch. 6.61 miles as the Google flies...

Went to see the space shuttle Endeavour launch last night in Cape Canaveral. It was really cool to see, but some late low clouds cut the show off early and we only got to see about the first 30 seconds of the flight. It was a bit anticlimactic in that sense, but the experience was great overall. I took some pictures that actually came out better than I would have expected and they are ** HERE ** Thanks to Quais' son Khalid for the last-minute camera setting advice. I am going to try and get copies of everybody's pictures if they got any and will put them up later.
