More SL Awesomeness

If the anti-straddling post got you a little antsy, please take in the following two photos.

Holy shit!  Dave dramatically says goodbye to a National Championship title:

Many others have found themselves in that position before, but man, everything goes into slow motion and it just sucks, for a long time, in every possible way.  Great height though, you can see he's completely unsure of exactly when he's going to touch down, though he has plenty of time to contemplate.

Showing what a classy guy he his, Warner Nickerson takes on that same race with cardboard instead of shinguards.  Tough to get a straight answer about exactly what happened that led him to this sort of Depression Era J4 status, but someone at the start (assuming he rigged it up at the start) was not only well prepared but also had a sense of humor, making the effort to write "Slytech" on the left shinner with a black marker.  According to Warner, he is showing his NHARA pride and representing Team Dave Adams.  We take personal delight in that, and those of you that knew Dave know that he's up there laughing his ass off.  Thanks, W.

PS - doesn't seem to have slowed him down much.  3rd on the run, 12th overall.
