The ARACHNID comes from the terrestrial life and strikes with no fear. Ravages dirt !! Crushes Time !! The appendages are modified for more efficient locomotion on land, internal armor, special sensory organs, and water conservation enhanced by efficient excretory structures as well as a waxy layer covering the cuticle. THE ARACHNID TAKES DOWN GNAR AND SMASHES IT INTO OBLIVION !!! NO TRAIL IS READY FOR THE ARACHNIDS THRASHING !!
The excretory glands of The ARACHNID !! include up to four pairs of coxal glands along the side of the prosoma, and one or two pairs of Malpighian tubules, emptying into the gut. Many arachnids have only one or the other type of excretory gland, although several do have both. The primary nitrogenous waste product in arachnids is guanine.
Arachnid blood is variable in composition, depending on the mode of respiration. Arachnids with an efficient tracheal system do not need to transport oxygen in the blood, and may have a reduced circulatory system. THE ARACHNID blood contains haemocyanin, a copper-based pigment with a similar function to haemoglobin in vertebrates.
YOU HAVE NO CHANCE. SURRENDER.
Marco is one of the most down to earth, badass shredders I know. He's fast as fuck and extremely hard working, but never ever lets his ego get in the way. Randy is the man
Some of the stages you had to pedal up, but the majority of them you took a badass shuttle in a side by side up a steep fire road that feels like the shuttles gonna flip backwards
