Video from the Rex Karz memorial ride is up (new vid on pg3)

[Dammit!]

A small group of us went out to the desert for a memorial ride. For those that don't know, one of our members, Rex Karz, passed away in June. He was a one of a kind dude. I'm still bummed I'll never get to ride with him again. We got some good footage from the ride. Here's the vid.

That was so great of you guys,not to mention that was a really good video. What a great set of friends.....

[inv3ctiv3]

Wow that was the best trike vid I've seen, the part when you are on the brakes sliding down and the sand was going all crazy was amazing. I didn't know Rex but I feel for his family and hope everything is all good with them. Great idea on the monument!

[Dammit!]

Credit for the monument idea goes to Jeremy (Vegas250r). You should see the reflection of the sun coming off it as the sun rises from the bottom of that hill. I only wish we would have polished it to a mirror shine first (it's aluminium). Next trip out there we're going to bring some materials to polish it up.

Edit: make sure you rate the video on youtube. :)

[Brockey]

Nice vid, good cause aswell man. Never knew Rex but wish all who knew him and family and friends my best.

[johnny's X]

Sorry for the loss of your good friend and another fellow triker. Awesome deal you guys did with the memorial out were he loved to be. Takes some good friends to do things like that. He is in a better place looking down and knowing how good his friends were and are.

[Tecate250]

Wow. What a great band of friends he has.

[dcreel]

Awesome video...

[ATCeeya]

great video and the monument was a nice touch too

[Billy Golightly]

Wow that was a great video. He had a lot of awesome friends it looks like.

[bonkers_200s]

Wow. I hope to have at least one friend like any of you guys before I die. To many it may look like what you did was nothing more than put a pole in the ground and go riding for a day. To any one on 3ww, or at least for me anyway, what you did was nothing short of amazing.


God bless

[MonroeMike]

Very nice tribute. I'm sure his family will be touched when they see that video.

[CRAZY70MAN]

Amazing friends in that group and what a awesome place to ride. No wonder it was your friends favorite spot. Sad to hear of the loss of a good friend and fellow triker, glad you guy's did what you did to show your respect and just how tight knit some of the real 3 wheeler community really is.....:beer Thanks for the post. Best of luck to all of you and his family....... p.s I do believe angels ride the heaven's on 250r's;) ;)

[Mosh]

Wow..
Great vid, awesome riding, and a 1st class tribute to Rex Kars!

I cant wait for December.

Want to hit some sand in a bad way!

[tulsamike3434]

That was great!

[tanks350x]

Did you look at my other videos (http://www.youtube.com/user/Dammit250r)?

Oh yea, I checked out most of your vids..... I would just rather listen to the sound of a 2 stroke over any kind of music. Just my .02. Great vid. and tribute ride, none the less

[Dammit!]

Here's a new one with no music just for you. :lol:

I forgot about this little sequence of still shots I took with the helmet cam. We were trying to stay close for the pictures but it's hard to do going up hill. Not bad though. Caught Nick (NOS_350X) in a wheelie at the end.

Real nice vid Doug and very thoughtful of Vegas and all you other guys to do this. Some of us a very passionate about this sport and I'm sure he would love to know that he's remembered this way :D

If no one else wants to admit it, I'll be the 1st to say that in the 1st 45 seconds I had tears in my eyes for REX and his family........ I'm not good with death, wakes etc etc be it someone I know, don't know or even animals for that matter.

GREAT WORK GUYS!!

I am with you man... and I am sure we were not alone!

[Dammit!]

I've got enough footage that I could do several of these without repeating anything. If you guys want I can do a couple more. They probably won't be as polished as this one but there's some cool footage that hasn't been posted yet. I think I took 90 minutes worth of video that weekend.

[vegas250rr]

I would love to see all the footage of the ride!

[KILLER]

nice job on the vid . awsome job on the ride for your fallen friend . that was so cool . sorry for your loss . if you have more video , i'd love to see it .

[oldtime3wheeler]

Great job on the vid of the memorial ride. I really like the memorial you guys put up for your friend.

Please do!

[Dammit!]

I'll get some more stuff up soon. You guys might want to hit the subscribe button on youtube. I'll be posting a crapload of vids in the coming months. :D

[vegas250rr]

I already have, and I am trying to procure a camera, but I keep getting outbid!Deepa

[Dammit!]

Dude! There's always a couple people selling these things for under $140 shipped with a Buy It Now. Bidding is a waste of time. They sell for $219 plus tax at the local bike shop. $140 is a great deal.

Bam here ya go! :lol:

If that one is gone when you see this, just search ebay for GOPRO HERO WIDE MOTORSPORTS.

[vegas250rr]

bought that exact one at about 7:30 last night

[tanks350x]

The only reason why I bought the Hero, was I was helping out a friend in a time of need... In retrospect, If I had known that there was options, and did a little research, I probably wouldn't have bought the Hero
Live and learn I guess:( The wide is so much better

[inv3ctiv3]

I watch this at least once a day, so well made.

[Dammit!]

I uploaded another one this morning.

Depends on what part you're riding in. I put my skid plates and pipe armor on for a reason. ;)

[Dammit!]

Bump just because I was thinking about Rex today.

[NOS_350X]

Best vid on youtube!!!

[Dammit!]

I miss the completely random phone calls.
