Quick60 Series Race 01: Karnival Twist

Karnival Twist is the kick off event for The Quick60 Race Series. This short lap tournament emphasizes fun by offering a chance at a fastest lap every minute (or so). Discover the best lines, put together a perfect lap, the times will be close and you have to ride perfectly to stay in the competition. If you blow it you get another chance quickly.

The layout is a grooving rhythm roller carved into the hillside remains of an abandoned Deodorant quarry located in the Desert Fauve. Its a simple loop with beautiful rhythm sections that can be ridden many ways. The line seems obvious but the packs, pits, and jumps offer some cool surprises.

The 12 year old son of the first cousin of the daughter of the sister of the wife of the vice president of terrestial commodities of Karnival is in all actuallity a pretty good motoXr but, You probably don't know his name. Anyway, he said we could use the course anytime.

A Twisted Dirt exclusive:

Somebody or something has been peeking...this image appears to depict the Karnival Twist layout.

......cool custom prop objects.

Mother always warned me that smiling while riding was sure fire way to eat a bug. Well I never thought about smacking a condor. Have you?

Watch out.

fraser's birds have escaped and they discovered an updraft by the ridge where they will hover for hours, barely moving at all :-).
Look for them as you approach the silly jump. You may not see them at first but if you smack one you are gonna eat it.

A special thanks to fraser for the birds.

The silly jump:
What would you name it? Its silly allright but if you plan on a fast lap you will need to be serious when you leap off the ridge and try to land between the tower legs. Its, as they say, all in the approach. Line up and squirt straight off the cliff, not too fast, land it quickly, stick the rear tire and accelerate out of the turn towards the next jump.

Oh yeah, you may have noticed the custom Twisted Dirt arch. Its big, bulky, stout even, and uses Aluminum tubing like its going out of style. It seems the Deodorant industry uses a bunch of Aluminum Powder. I made these as a sort of a Bauxitian tribute just for the event.

Pretty pennants or a tacky used car lot?

The kickoff event of the Quick60 Series shall be resplendant with all the trappings of a outdoors festival. The custom made pennants add a playful splash of color and create a unique effect as you race beneath them. Experienece the flash as you speed by, it will remind you of the worlds liveliest street festivals. Viva Karnival.

Air Cool:

A brand new low poly model of a mid 60's VW Bus. I admire these vehicles greatly. A dependable support vehicle, they can handle wild back country trails and the funkiest fuel. This one could use a wash and wax.

A Kings Castle:

A brand new tent sporting a Twisted Dirt tag and Justin's TD Ridre Logo. Think of it as a home away from home, etc etc. These tents use more Aluminum than most but have area low poly count. I hope to be able stock the tables with goodies and refreshments soon.

A Nice picture:

One last shot cause I like the way it shows the parking lot at the top in relation to the Race features.

Please Note: Many of the Custom Models shown in the pics will be available for download at the twisteddirt objects area very soon.
