RWW was pretty good.

Good surprises:

-Free photos

-Unltd. Drinks

-Exxxxxtra Diamondback ERT

Bad:

-Trim brake right before MCBR D:<

I'm not sure how many Diamondback rides I got this weekend...maybe 30 or so? Prob.

It was fun meeting up with everyone (well, mostly everyone) that I ran into, or visa versa. As always, I took some pictures. I'm not going to go in depth about the whole event because there will be others that do that. I don't do boring details and pictures, duh.

Check 'em out. Don't steal.

Oh, row seven and eight FTW.

^ That photo really needs no caption! I wonder what his face would look like on TTD?

Zach, it was cool seeing you in the ERT line Saturday. How many rides did you end up getting in? It was nice towards the end when you only had to wait a train or two if you weren't waiting for the very front or back!

Hey Gary!

It was nice seeing you at ERT, too! I had a feeling I might see you there. I think I got about 30 rides in on DB during the weekend...I'm up to 60-65, haha! I know! I had walk ons for my rows: 4, 7, 8, and I waited for the front and back. Such awesome stuff!

Here's some more pics..

That's great!!!! It looks like he is getting electrocuted and just won't let go of the grips!!!!!!

From the angle, it almost looks as though the guy with the freaky eyes is pulling the hair of the girl in front of him.

I am the one ridding with Giga. I feel like such a wimp now. I am holding on for dear life on the first drop and she has her arms up. Although, I do bring them up later!

Oh and by the way, the poofy face is my tradmark. I do this when water sking as well. Not sure why I do that, it is not like it is helping me in any way?

KIMan I really enjoy your photos and it shows that you take the time to set up for the shot. I liked the steam train engineer inspecting the track with the Diamondback train barreling down a hill behind him. Awesome!!!

^I can't believe it! I know that kid. His name is Izzy. He is one of my neighbors. LOL

Wow i cant wait to show him this.

This is PRICELESS!

Before you show it to him, try asking him if he was "scared" or "rode arms up the whole way". See how honest is he.

DUDE... WOW!!!!!!!!! I saw you with a camera both days, but I didn't realize you were going to take such amazing pictures of us from the ground. WOW! JUST WOW! You rock as a photographer! Thanks for supplying us all with these pics and memories we can show people that we know.

Hey KI Man you take some great pictures and I think you have a good shot at winning the contest with that photo of the conductor. I never was introduced formally, but I was with stalkerchick and ogrmac on saturday. They were smoking and contemplating a ride on Reptar before the b-day party for The Beast. I never ended up riding though.

^And we did have a ride on Reptar!

Thanks for the comments everyone, I can't say it enough. I actually do photography for a semi-pro paintball team. I've sent emails to a few parks where I've taken pictures, gotten compliments from B&M on my photos...but no luck.

I really wish I could actually do photos for a park exclusively. If I had a whole day to go the park and focus soley on photos...I'm sure my pictures would be 1000x better. This is just in between my rides. Not trying to brag anything....but I just see things, find angles, and....click!

I'm planning on taking classes down at Xavier this fall. Maybe a major in marketing and minor in photography?

Thanks everyone.

Zach,

It was nice seeing you again at the event! As always your pictures are amazing. I would say my 3 favorites are "Sheer Terror", "All Smiles" (I like how you shot it through the fence) and "Interesting Transistion" (You have that shot compositioned just right.) I REALLY think that you will wander across your "Sheer Terror" photo on the internet for years to come on different sites...so you better get your name on it! :)

I'm looking forward to the next batch of photos...assuming i'm not in any of them.

See ya,

J.D.

Hey Zach I think I was in line with you in the Single Rider line for DB. I had a grey Ft Myers Tshirt and cargo shorts on. You were with a guy in glasses and an orange sweatshirt, and also a girl with red hair. Are they members on here as well?
