I just checked last years B to B thread to compare with this one. Already we have about the same number of posts (116 vs 118) and pages (12) as that thread, and the race was only three days ago. So congratulations are in order to everybody - OCC members, photographers, naked participants, etc - for making this years B to B a great event, and this thread a great thread. And consider that last years thread at the time was the best B to B thread yet, and you see why I am happy...
I suppose someone (with lots of time on their hands) could count up the number of individual women depicted in these photos from both years for the sake of comparison. It would be interesting to see, with the new stricter rules, etc, who won out in the end - the rulemakers, or WE, THE PEOPLE!!
Here is an exchange I had with Flanker7 regarding last years thread and race (just for comparison, my emphasis added).
"[QUOTE FLANKER7]Thanks for the positive feedback, and everyone else who has contributed pics or responded positively. This the first time I ever felt motivated to start a thread, and the first board I thought it was worthwhile, and I'm quite pleased with how it's turned out. Though it may not (though I personally think it does) measure up to Fremont or some other public nudity events, it appears that this year was the best B2B to date, or perhaps we've just done the best job of finding good pics. In years past it seems like the nudity mainly came from butch lesbians, hippies, and older nudists, but increasingly over the past few years it seems like we've had more examples of younger, attractive women joining in. This year there seems to have been quite a few, well worth devoting a thread to. Let's hope there are still lots of great pics out there to be found.[/QUOTE]
The returns are impressive because of the work you and others put into it. I could never say if a ride i didn't attend was great or not, so how this stacks up against previous runs or against the Fremont parade is something I don't have a clue. But I can say this - this THREAD is awesome and your efforts are much appreciated!
Fremont has more nudes, but they are not as easy to photograph except when on their bikes. Even then, they go by pretty fast. The ones walking or standing are tucked away, unpredictable or short lived.
