Brought my Go-Pro to work with me

[bp-guy]

Yesterday I brought my Go-Pro with me and shot a little video.

It was attached to my quad as I drove along the border. Tonight I will attach it to my helmet and see if it looks any better.

The fence you see on the left of my bike is the actual border fence. At times we ride standing up in areas the we feel people could be up to no good. (i.e.- stringing a piece of wire across the road to take our heads off.)

This week and last week myself and a supervisor are training 6 new riders. It has been fun doing this and we are suppose to train two more classes.

I will post some pics of us later on when after they get certified, we have a cool track we play on to keep our skills in tune.

Cool Training and thanks for sharing. Looks like the fence is not too tall. Looks like they can jump right over. Pretty damn scary.

[bp-guy]

The fence is about 8-9 feet tall. Shorter in some places. It isn't designed to keep people from jumping it. It's meant to keep cars and such from easily crossing the border.

i think a RZR S would be a great idea.

1 you can ride with 2 people (safer)

2 you wouldnt have to worry about wires across the road as the cage will take care of that.

3 you have a place to throw the SOB's when you catch them on the bed.

4 you can scare the sh*t out of the dude your with lol

BTW are they hiring?

I watched a show on ( think it was SPEED channel) called Dangerous Rides. They rode along with the Boarder Patrol at the dunes. One of the areas was a section of tunnel where they used a RZR. interesting to watch.

Cool Video! What are the zip ties by the front bumper for?

Some stations have RZR's as well as motorcycles. Our station chose the quads. They are a great tool in the mountains. We can go alot of places the trucks can't.

The zip ties are for the illegals that we catch. I carry two sets of handcuffs but alot of times we catch more than 2 at a time.

Here is the link to the helmet cam. Now you can kinda see what I see as I ride. Definately a fun detail to do at work. Sucks being the trialing rider and sucking dust all day but the rider infront of me is new so I have to observe him.

Oh yeah- I hate wheelies, I suck at them. Jumping on the other hand is a blast! But we don't do that while at work, that would be wrong...

thanks for sharing....ones seing the video i think you should wear a face sock so you don't eat to much dust....just an option

[Don29palms]

I thought my government job was bad but yours sucks. To have to ride all day and get paid for it is just terrible.

[bp-guy]

I do have a face sock. After each day I have a tan circle where my mouth is from breathing and the dust sticking to it.

Here are some pics I took of the guys on our last day.
