bp-guy Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakster884 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Cool Training and thanks for sharing. Looks like the fence is not too tall. Looks like they can jump right over. Pretty damn scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bp-guy Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLUE STEEL Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Thanks for posting. Thanks for protecting. I think its cool you get to ride during work hours. When are they going to get you guys some RZR's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When are they going to get you guys some RZR's? 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?

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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don29palms Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I thought my government job was bad but yours sucks. To have to ride all day and get paid for it is just terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
