    The lads went for a very informal practice yesterday (about 8 riders only) & asked i wanted to lob & see what i could get. As usual the light beat me with fast sports under the cover of trees.
    Out of the blue some world champions turned up. There was 2004 mens world champ & a current world round winner & womans world champ (a canadian lady) Apparently they chill out here for the northern winter.
    The hill (it is a LOT bigger than it looks) 4 mins top to bottom on a bike.
    It was at an old dairy farm.
    Going up.
    Pretty wild track with 'run off zone'
    Down
    This is the 2004 world champ & i missed the focus ..man he was fast !

    Oooowwww, I bet they get some nasty injuries when they come a cropper mate eek7.gif .... they look like a bunch of wild buggars rolleyes1.gif

    Great Series Gus ...... Skippy

    Gus, you've been a busy boy. Comets, bees, spiders and now DH bikers. I'd say you're getting used to the new camera just fine. :D

    Serious good photos out of you lately.

    I think I agree! headscratch.gif (showing my age now rolleyes1.gif)

    Anyway... they're great shots Gus... lighting can be soooo tricky outdoors when there are lots of trees around. Keep putting that 30D to good work clap.gif

    Cheers,

    Really nice series, Gus. That shot of the track looks dangerous - there's stuff they could impale themselves on. eek7.gif
