We could have a website where the videos were gathered together. I'm sure you would have to keep the cam rolling for several months to get the juicey stuff like people flipping you off, raging storms dumping shit tons of rain, total idots standing in the middle of the road, ad infinitum.. </p> <p>who has a cam! </p> http://www.myballard.com/forum/topic.php?id=9797#post-141742 Wed, 30 Mar 2011 18:52:45 +0000 Bathos 141742@http://www.myballard.com/forum/ <p>I was in Valparaiso in Feb. of 2010, a couple weeks prior to the earthquake. It was hit pretty hard, but it looks like they've cleaned up fairly well. It doesn't look like this race goes through the fancy or touristy parts of town. One of my favorite cities in the world, and well worth a visit. I'll skip the bike part though, and stick to the counterbalances. </p> http://www.myballard.com/forum/topic.php?id=9797#post-141730 Wed, 30 Mar 2011 16:37:06 +0000 Alferd Packer 141730@http://www.myballard.com/forum/ <p>Vegan, cool sidecar in the avatar. </p> http://www.myballard.com/forum/topic.php?id=9797#post-141704 Wed, 30 Mar 2011 06:08:38 +0000 VeganBiker 141704@http://www.myballard.com/forum/ <p>pg - I am an old fart, I was barely able to ride up to the Meadowbrook Community Center 10517 35th Ave NE and back today!</p> <p>cdpenne - that is the wildest video, thanks for posting it. It got my heart thumping!</p> <p>Do you think he hit that poor dog?</p> <p>So how many of you have been to Valparaiso? I was there in 83, drove up the coast, Vina del Mar up to Papudo.<br /> In that video Valparaiso still looks about as dirty and poor as it did in the 80s.<br /> Back in those days I was not a vegan and had some of the most amazing seafood dishes in Chile! </p> http://www.myballard.com/forum/topic.php?id=9797#post-141691 Wed, 30 Mar 2011 03:31:23 +0000 PizzaGuy 141691@http://www.myballard.com/forum/ <p>Ah, Valparaiso in all it's gritty goodness!
