- tuxthepenguin, on 01/12/2009, -2/+58Boston.com could have pictures of people taking ***** for sport, and I would still be mesmerized by their photography.
- pathouston22, on 01/12/2009, -2/+24Bostom.com does not take any pictures, look at the credits.
Correct claim would be: Boston.com does a great job of collecting pictures and providing them on one page at a good resolution. - flashingcurser, on 01/12/2009, -0/+16A Frenchmen in a Hummer? Surly hell has frozen over.
- borez, on 01/12/2009, -0/+14Anyone who takes a motorbike out on the Paris-Dakar rally has balls bigger than a melon. For Sure.
- Paranoidmarvin, on 01/12/2009, -0/+14The variety of vehicles that you get in this race, combined with the sheer distance and terrain is what makes it so fascinating
- plaguepony, on 01/12/2009, -0/+11It is sad that one of them died.
- WNW3, on 01/12/2009, -0/+11The news was acting like he got killed riding when he actually went and sat down under a tree and had congestive heart failure or something. Really not a bad way to go I think. Dying peacfully in the middle of the coolest race in the world.
- borez, on 01/12/2009, -0/+10Oh shut up, it's a good story and it has great picture. What did you submit today?
- borez, on 01/12/2009, -0/+10They fold away... for times of battle.
- SubEl, on 01/12/2009, -0/+10Rally deserves a much bigger spot on the world stage and would do well, i think, on mainstream TV...but it has, by nature, an extremely high barrier to entry for traditional television coverage...hopefully ESPN can build some momentum with the X-Games' arena-fied version, which is pretty cool minus the awful commentary
- fjsferreira, on 01/12/2009, -0/+10Rally is such a nice sport. Love it!
- elryanoo, on 01/12/2009, -0/+9Those motorcycle guys are crazy they have my respect.
- asskicker32, on 01/12/2009, -1/+10Paris/Dakar is one of the best events in motorsports. Shame it's not taking the traditional route... Maybe the UN should provide a peacekeeping force to the race... Come on, people, priorities!
- aviazn, on 01/12/2009, -0/+8Between this feature and the one they did on the Singapore Grand Prix (http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2008/09/the_singa ... The Big Picture is doing a pretty great job of exposing international motorsport that doesn't get much exposure in the US.
- irascib1e, on 01/12/2009, -1/+8damn, my mom always told me to never ride a dirt bike or motor cycle because they're dangerous, but it seems like its about time for me to start heading in my own direction.
- shortyjacobs, on 01/12/2009, -0/+7I would think that would make it tough to ride the bike.
- sgxyay, on 01/12/2009, -0/+7I need to go home and play Motorstorm.
- Prototek, on 01/12/2009, -0/+7This is the worst.
"Six people were killed during the 1988 race, three participants and three local residents. In one incident, Baye Sibi, a 10-year-old Malian girl, was killed by a racer while she crossed a road. A film crew's vehicle killed a mother and daughter in Mauritania on the last day of the race." -Wikipedia - Punjabdasher, on 01/12/2009, -0/+7This makes me want to become a rally car driver.
- diggnidy, on 01/12/2009, -0/+6best rally ever
- RumpleForeskin3, on 01/12/2009, -0/+6I love the big trucks!
- inactive, on 01/12/2009, -0/+5Great photography. I love the Dakar rally, one of the greatest parts of January. I am so glad they found a place to run it this year.
- ROYALWITHCHEESE, on 01/12/2009, -0/+5no.9 is awesome!
- shortyjacobs, on 01/12/2009, -0/+5christ jesus those are some amazing shots
link fixed: http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2008/09/the_singa ... - Alias1431, on 01/13/2009, -0/+4It would have looked awesome if the tree was leaning the other way in the first picture.
- snowysnowcones, on 01/12/2009, -0/+4Boston.com always has the best pictures.
- borez, on 01/12/2009, -0/+4Not as bad as the other year when a driver arrived at a checkpoint after getting lost in the dark and drove over tent full of sleeping spectators, killing them all.
- FearisFailure, on 01/12/2009, -0/+4Damn that looks fun
- clickmyface, on 01/13/2009, -0/+4http://cache.boston.com/universal/site_graphics/bl ...
Bee sting AND he has braces. - jgopp, on 01/12/2009, -0/+4RIP Pascal Terry. Sad that he died along the route, just goes to show how grueling the race can be.
- watcht, on 01/12/2009, -1/+5Im so unhappy im missing this amazing rally and the whole wrc coverage in total here in the US, i remember speed channel was a good source, but nowadays it's just lame nascar...
- N1tro, on 01/12/2009, -0/+4was/is it on TV in america by chance?
- Junior612, on 01/12/2009, -0/+3(In the US) This is a semi: http://www.polymixmedia.com/files/stills/signal_se ...
The only thing i could think that comes close to a semi is the Unimog. But, no, not even close. - borez, on 01/12/2009, -0/+3All you need is a spare 1/4 million for the car + extras.
- watcht, on 01/12/2009, -0/+3thanks for the suggestion I have my sources at Vuze already :D
- MercyBeat, on 01/12/2009, -1/+4I'm glad the race is on this year after having to be canceled because of Islamic militants plans to kidnap and kill the racers.
This is my favorite race hands down. - davidrools, on 01/12/2009, -0/+3Versus shows Dakar highlights in the United States, if you're interested in watching some.
I was hoping Jonah Street would do better this year. But Mark Miller is doing great! Go USA! It's somehow nice to root for the USA when they're actually the underdog. - WNW3, on 01/12/2009, -0/+3GO JONAH STREET!!!
- morphboy23, on 01/13/2009, -0/+3That tree in the first picture is like, "Whooaaa!"
- inactive, on 01/12/2009, -1/+4Even though it's on a different continent than Dakar is on. Thanks terrorits.
- jemmrich, on 01/13/2009, -0/+3Here's a listing of torrents of the Dakar:

No need to miss a thing! - dstz, on 01/12/2009, -0/+3Thing is, incompetency and/or bad luck killed him. He activated his distress beacon but was found only 3 days later because the rally delayed help, "Terry checked into the Neuquen camp, but it wasn't Pascal but his brother, who is also competing in the rally."
- ngmcs8203, on 01/12/2009, -0/+3C-H-I... L-E... Chi- Chi Chi, Le Le Le. Viva Chile!
Gotta love my mom's side of the family for the fun nationalistic chants. - borez, on 01/12/2009, -0/+3Is alive.
- aflaks, on 01/12/2009, -0/+2Dugg for the potential involvement of the Bowler Wildcat
- Grimlock82, on 01/12/2009, -3/+5I dugg this for being Dakar, but desperately want to bury it for MrBabyMan
- thh204, on 01/12/2009, -0/+2speed channel
- gnu611, on 01/13/2009, -0/+2Big Pictures :)
- Jrv420, on 01/12/2009, -0/+2Go Mitsu, make it 9 in a row!
