Don't fall asleep and don't speed! Lots of cops and State Troopers along the way! :duh:

Several routes to get there:

1. Take I-10 East towards Houston, exit Hwy 6 South. Turn right onto Hwy 6. Go under Hwy 59 and keep going on Hwy 6. After a few ligths past Hwy 59, turn left onto Settlers Way. Then turn right onto Lost Creek Blvd towards the Park parking lot. Turn right at the parking lot and keep going towards the end of the parking lot near the BMX track.

2. Take I-10 East towards Houston, exit Beltway 8 South. Beltway 8 is a toll road, prepare lots of quarters! You would need to go through the Cash lane at the toll booth, not the EZ tag lane. Take Hwy 59 South exit towards Victoria. Once on Hwy 59 South, take Hwy 6 exit. Turn left onto Hwy 6 (go under Hwy 59) and keep going. After a few lights, turn left onto Settlers Way. Then turn right onto Lost Creek Blvd towards the Park parking lot. Turn right at the parking lot and keep going towards the end of the parking lot near the BMX track.

3. Take I-10 East towards Houston, exit Loop 610 South. Once on Loop 610, take Hwy 59 South exit. Once on Hwy 59 South, take Hwy 6 exit. Turn left onto Hwy 6 (go under Hwy 59) and keep going. After a few lights, turn left onto Settlers Way. Then turn right onto Lost Creek Blvd towards the Park parking lot. Turn right at the parking lot and keep going towards the end of the parking lot near the BMX track.

I took a lot of pictures and video :) He is resizing them right now and gonna preview them :D hehehe :) ... oh, by the way, I am not sure how the video turned out yet, I had to wear sunglasses today because it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO windy and sandy, and sand got into my eyes, my month, my hair! I don't think I take too good of a video while wearing sunglasses, I have no idea what I was shooting :D :duh::resp::lmao3::resp::slapped::resp:

Had a blast guys. The FLM towers and stock bulkhead couldn't hold up to the jumps today, but the 5B shocks and flextek didn't flinch.

Here's a couple of videos... pics coming.

1st vid of whipnet's jumps and finally carnage.

I figured out how I bent the front towers.

.0001 seconds before impact.

Check the shock tower and the piece of shock tower attached to the shocks. Shocks and arms OK. bulkhead, brace, and shock towers not ok.
