Very nice shots. Looks like you were in a danger zone on some of these. Love the flying clumps of dirt, the expression on the safety guys faces and stop action on the bikes flying. Nice series that I enjoyed viewing. Thanks
Just some of my favorites from the hill climb... Hope you enjoy...

Holey moley! these look scary. Is that your first inkling that something's coming is a giant poof of dirt?? Then a bike and or rider comes flying into view? You must be very brave to stand in there and get these great photos!

Thank you for your comment and I'm glad you liked these. Some what dangerous me and others such as the video guys made escape routs more like trenches we could follow without watching as not to lose eye contact with the climbers if they loss control,but mostly just very dirty I had dirt every where and actually caught one of the rocks that hit me on cam before it hit it is an experience though .

I know it looks as if you don't see them coming but thats not the case, the dirt you see flying off the hill is from bikes that run on nitro methane fuelseems they go over the hill and theres dirt flying off the top of the hill for 10 minutes after wards pretty intense to stand feet from those biles as they flail up the hill I'll tell you you can't hide your equipment from from what gets dumped on you either best you can hope for is all the dirt goes and hits some one else Thanks for looking !
