Sturgis 2009 Hail Storm part 2 of 2

[@shortassetsranch]

Nice video! much more fun to watch from this prospective! We were out on the bike just getting back to Sturgis when this hit. I have a giant 5 inch bruise on my arm from where I got hit with the hail! I'll always remember this one!

[@vermontsmostobesetubaplaye1988]

Still have the bruise?

[@RolandLowhorn]

I was impressed how the canopy tent with holding up

[@donna6368]

That's one badass canopy to withstand that amount of wind and hail.

[@debbiejudd6512]

What wind

[@keithlea6804]

Should have been there in 2000. Hail was 2ft deap on the interstate. In Belfoush SD hail was so big it went through the rooftops of houses . Cars looked like you took a 2o pound sledgehammer to them. Seen much worse for hail when I lived there

[@bradhoffman77]

welcome to south dakota....even the storms sort out the whimps

[@LifeAndTimesOf-IAmGroot]

we were lucky to have a fiberglass motorhome. most eveyone around us was not so lucky

[@joewoodchuck3824]

I imagine the tents held up partly from strength and partly from flexibility. It must have been exciting for all.

[@faithrada]

I always think Tornado when hail shows up. Hope everyone was OK. Pretty neat video though.

[@joegilly1523]

Me too

[@mr.wizard2974]

Are you kids enjoying yourselves?

[@fxstudioz28]

Thank God we take off on Thursday afternoon. Nice video!!

[@joewoodchuck3824]

I'm surprised but glad the tents made out pretty well.

[@richstewart1]

I read a story about cowboys in the old west getting hit by hailstorms while herding cattle to market. Cattle would scatter and it would take a week or so to round them all up again. After seeing this I can just imagine what that must have been like. For men and cattle.

[@thomasvetor7420]

Great fabric for those tents holding up with all that hail ....

[@robertreynolds1044]

I was on stage and the sound was the loudest natural sound I've ever heard.

[@LifeAndTimesOf-IAmGroot]

this is the same storm.. After the storm, we went around and picked up some and found some to be betwwen golf ball and tennis ball size. 1 mile away they have softball size.

[@joebring9079]

Jeff K I don’t believe Softball Size!

[@LifeAndTimesOf-IAmGroot]

Joe Bring Actually it was in softball size hail it was grapefruit size hail about a mile away from us. Which is probably a little bigger than a softball.

[@onemon22]

Wow what a storm. What did you capture the video with, it looks great in HD.

[@dwaynecain5608]

That’s a great testament for the tents and little awning. You should see if you can sell the video rights to the company that made them for advertisement.

[@mikep4823]

Free ice for the coolers lol

[@officialchrisazrikam]

You know somewhere in one of those tents or campers there is at least someone hung over or something who missed the whole thing they slept through it.

[@ddmau7995]

This happens every year. Sturgis rally motto"If you dont like the weather, wait 5 minutes ".

[@kennethblack314]

Hiding from that hail by standing under a canopy: that made me think of Wile E. Coyote seeing a boulder falling towards him, so he holds up an umbrella. I hope you used that free ice in your drinks!

[@BL-mf5dn]

Wonder how many vehicles got hail dents!

[@robinvoskampbianco7335]

Looks like golf balls just bouncin around! I love how the guys try to cover their bikes! My old man would be crying!!!

[@longtab]

Hmmm... you may have just sold me on that camera!

[@habbi126]

Thanks for uploading.

[@-MrRichBiker1967]

fun time at Sturgis!!! oohhh

[@MrThenry1988]

Goofball + sizes. Any dents?

[@packratswhatif.3990]

Well if nothing else, at least there is fresh ice for your drinks, or for the beer cooler.

[@lindaterrell6104]

Ross in Ontario Have you ever tasted hail?

Nice I remember being out there and nothing but hail.

I used a Flip HD. Very cool little camera. Around $200.00

[@tammiecrutcher2550]

Well they got their money’s worth when they invested in those tents ⛺️ because rain 🌧 and hail rolled right off of it......be water 💦

Yup.. I just kept thinking about my ex "oh my gawd. look they're getting bigger" Notice the emphasis on "They''re" And no I wasn't there at the time. She's my ex, see? ;-)
