Well
that was a friggin hoot! We spent the afternoon with a lot of like
minded out at Batu Tampih Beach fanging up and down in the sand that had
been left exposed by the lowering tide. It
was as hot as a two-dollar whore on the Fourth of July at our seaside
postcardesque palm lined beach. The wise people braved the skin
scorching sand to cool off in the sea. The rest of us hunkered down in
the shade. And waited for the tide to go out far enough to get up and
out there. It was definitely time
well spent that we managed to wrap all around with a million smiles that
were peppered with shots of laughter as people spilled and thrilled.
Some of the two wheel heroes managed to do away with the front tire as
they pulled on the gas along the straights. People collided into the
corners, each hoping that they’d be the one spat out in front.Sure
we billed it as a super fun ride where we’d all go round and round and
up and down but that didn’t stop a lot of people bringing their
competitive spirit along for the ride. Good natured yet bloodthirsty at
the same time as they hit the black volcanic sand with nigh a thought
other than to demolish their mates in the next turn of the inaugural
Deus Beach Track Friday. It was totally epic. We can’t wait until next
year’s to roll around.
We have to
thank the multitude of photographers, we needed on hand to capture these
shots. Dean Walters, Arief Budiatna, Giang Alam Wardani and Olga
Sinenko.
