Wildest "brody" I ever experienced was......and after Lake Tahoe in '99, I 
should've expected it.......riding with Louie Lira in CP64 at a local Solo 
event.....

They had the final gate 20 ft from a fence / building.......to assure all 
would slow down.........not Louie.....he just whipped it around.....never hit 
anything......time and again......
