What a day for some whips. R Dog and Vinny Armstrong take the win here in Les Gets. The whips were huge and the competition was tight. Due to popular readership demand, we kept the angles to a minimum and put creativity in a box. So get out your slide rulers and protractors and get ready to angulate or whatever it is you do. Here are the whips.

AC was cranking them today.

 Sorry but photogs need better angles or proximity or art direction from the WBP round. There is much less excitement, drama, or motion in these shots.

 He had a crash, going way too far over 90 degrees. Too bad because it was beautiful. Broken collarbone or dislocated shoulder (not sure which).
